Release Date Fixed for "You've Gotta Have a Dream"

Case #260715-221540-720000

Hi everyone,

My name is Donald Nguyen, and I am the main producer on the film You've Gotta Have a Dream.

I'm hoping someone can help point me in the right direction regarding the release year for our film.

After months of working with IMDb, we were finally able to get the primary title changed from Knights of Swing to You've Gotta Have a Dream, which we're very grateful for. However, we're still trying to update the release year from 2023 to 2026.

The reason we're requesting this change is that the 2023 version of the film was never publicly released or distributed. Since then, the project has undergone substantial changes, including new footage, extensive re-editing, and a new title. The version that will actually be released to the public is You've Gotta Have a Dream, with a planned release date of March 14, 2026.

We've submitted multiple release date corrections over the past few months, but each request has been declined. Some responses have suggested treating this as a re-release, but our understanding is that a re-release assumes there was a previous public release, which was not the case here.

Has anyone encountered a similar situation, or could an IMDb staff member review whether the release year should reflect the film's first public release in 2026? If there's a different submission process or documentation we should provide, we'd really appreciate any guidance.

Thank you in advance for your time and any assistance.
