PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE has always been considered a 1959 movie. Should it now be a 1957 movie because of a newly-added preview date?

Hi jay_spirit -

I reviewed your submission and noted that it was declined. If the preview screening was private, do you have some online sources to help verify?

DREAMING IN ANGORA: THE LIFE AND FILMS OF ED WOOD by Pablo Bendix III calls the March 15, 1957 screening at the Carlton Theatre in Los Angeles "private."

This page is from NIGHTMARE OF ECSTASY: THE LIFE AND FILMS OF EDWARD D. WOOD JR. by Rudolph Grey. It also refers to the screening as a preview.

Interestingly, on May 27, a Wikipedia editor named Akmadomad changed the date from 1959 to 1957, citing that very page. Like everywhere else on the internet, Wikipedia has always considered PLAN 9 to be a 1959 movie.

(Grey's book considers it a 1956 movie, but he is going by the date its production was completed.)
