Movie still can't be rated/reviewed 3 days after status has been updated to "Released"

Our movie "We Put the World to Sleep" premiered on October 18th in a festival, the production status changed automatically to Released, yet the movie still can't be rated/reviewed, the rate/review section is nowhere to be found 3 days after release: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10069050/ Please help fix this, thank you!

@AdrianTofei This is because you have used the attribute (premiere) on the release date; this attribute is for closed, private invitation-only premieres only and it therefore does not activate the title for public voting. We have submitted a correction to remove the attribute on your behalf and the title should be open for ratings and reviews later today. We are also following-up with the appropriate team to clarify the IMDb guidelines on this attribute.

I understand, thanks for the fix! The "premiere" status didn't use to work this way, it was just a way to mark the world premiere of a film, regardless of the event type. And it was a great tool, I used it for many years in my research to see which festival a certain movie premiered at. Without it it's not certain, the first festival listed is not guaranteed to be the world premiere, it may be a whole different one in the festival circuit and the actual festival premiere may not be listed. And I have a very important suggestion: I would be great to allow, suggest or maybe even demand the attributes "world premiere", "international premiere", "national premiere" etc. when adding a festival release date for a movie. That would make a lot of sense and would be super useful. Thank you!
