Title Change

Having trouble with a title change. Need to change Porn Mom to Proud Mom. Request was denied. Not sure why. This is my film.

Hoping this change can be affected on the title across all pages and those involved.

Thanks!

Will: See https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/how-do-i-correct-the-title-name/G5GHACWD9FC58M6P# for the policy on this:

Our title is spelled the way it appeared on screen, for the first public exhibition, in the native language. If a title was changed for video release, or for release in another country, or for general release after a series of festival screenings, that won't be reflected in the main title -- but the alternate title should appear elsewhere on the page.

You would have to have first released or shown the film under the title "Proud Mom" for IMDb to make that the primary title.

Hi @willwritescomedy,

As previously explained, your request was declined as a duplicate.

Furthermore, IMDb cannot alter the currently listed title text if that is how the title was originally released. However, if the title is now known as something else, e.g. in different locales, you can submit an alternate title and change the IMDb display title with this attribute by following the guidance in our Help article. Please be advised, the result and intended display of this change would still mean the original title will display underneath the new localized title on the page. Please see for example: Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope.

Thanks!

Ok copy. I think I did this correctly. I adjusted the display title to Proud Mom. That mostly solves my issue at this point.

Thanks, Ozzy. I do like the platform. Your help is most appreciated. Even if the old title is small underneath, this helps since the current version of the film is called Proud Mom.
