Finishing with the remaining Eureka Entertainment Blu-Ray covers.
Okay, brief history...
Back in 2017 or 2018, someone from Eureka Entertainment replace the theatrical posters from several movies and set on their place Blu-ray covers (YES! The famous studio partner).
This is possible the most noticeable incident of product placement that happened here on IMDb – post 2015 of course, not considering the period before, when the website wasn’t opened for the users to send images and most of the primary images were DVDs/VHS/bad photographs.
Over the last 4 years, myself, alongside some other users, happily reported and excluded several of those covers, placing back the original posters as primary images.
Now, I’m asking for an editor help to get rid of the remaining covers. They don’t have to be excluded, just unlocked, so can be changed by the original posters.
It left 17 titles, which are all linked below:
1) Destiny (1921)

Every link leads to the main page. I was originally intending to report only two titles of this list (Journey and City Hunter), but decided to report all of them. If the title doesn't have a theatrical poster in the gallery I can search and provide one.
Again, thanks for the consideration.

Hi jackry-
I unlocked them all, you can now suggest a new primary image. Let me know if you encounter any trouble to check on it again.
Cheers!

Hi @Bethanny
Thanks for the reply.
I now submitted requests for 15 of the 17 titles to get the original posters back as the primaries.
Glad to see that everything will be back in order soon.
Only Jinnah and Westfront 1918 gonna need new posters, which I will provide within a few hours.
The only concern is the movie Destiny, which I set the Kino Lober rerelease poster as the primary, once there isn’t a German or English language poster from the original release year.
Again, thanks for the help!

This one is not from main offenders "EUREKA", but by Criterion:
A modern day DVD cover occupies the primary image slot, and it cannot be edited:

This should be the primary image, the original theatrical poster:
