Box Office Mojo -- problems with Release Schedule Changes

On the Domestic Release Schedule Changes list at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/calendar/changes/ , there are a few changes to films' release dates that don't make sense. Basically, there should not be (1) two changes made on the same day -- that is, a studio should not be indicated as making two decisions on the same day to change the same release of the same film, nor should there be (2) both a wide release and a limited release of the same film scheduled for the same day. We see those problems on the list currently. October 3, 2025: A24 is indicated as changing the wide release date for "The Smashing Machine" twice on the same day -- once from Oct. 3, 2025 to Oct. 2, 2025, and once from Oct. 2, 2025 to Oct. 3, 2025. These changes contradict each other and just put the release date to whatever it was before. October 2, 2025: Paramount Pictures International is indicated as changing the release dates for "A Quiet Place Part III" so that it will have *both* a wide release and a limited release on July 30, 2027. Again, it's not possible for the same film to have both a limited release and a wide release on the same day. September 18, 2025: Paramount Pictures International is indicated as changing the release dates for "The Angry Birds Movie 3" so that it will have *both* a wide release and a limited release on Dec. 23, 2026. Again, it's not possible for the same film to have both a limited release and a wide release on the same day. In fact, it was never likely that "The Angry Birds Movie 3" was going to get a limited release at all. It's the kind of movie directed to mass audiences that would open in wide release, as the first and second films in that series did.
