Box Office Mojo correction: reissue vs. original release

I'm requesting a correction on Box Office Mojo where a re-release has been mistakenly described as an original release.

Film title: The Devils (1971)

Link to film on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066993/

Link to film on BOM: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0066993/

Grosses in USD: No change requested; the current release's grosses appear to be correct. Only vague information about the original release's grosses is available to me.

Valid evidence of correct data: 

https://catalog.afi.com/Film/54241-THE-DEVILS?sid=80704dcd-53ac-46d1-8cee-54a27badb067&sr=6.996443&cp=1&pos=0 -- AFI Catalog describing the film's original release
https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=VslHAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7YsDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6571%2C2635221 -- see advertisement to the right of the article, showing the film playing in New York in 1971

https://deadline.com/2026/10/box-office-street-fighter-you-can-see-everything-1237159320/ -- Deadline.com article about last weekend's box office results, mentioning the re-release of The Devils

As seen at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0066993/ , BOM is currently listing two "release groups" for this film: an "Original Release" with a rollout of October 16, 2026, and a 2021 Re-release in Australia. Of course, it does not make sense for an Original Release to follow a Re-release of the same film.

In fact, there should be an Original Release listed in 1971, even if no box office data is available for it. The release that started on October 16, 2026 needs to be re-designated as the 2026 Re-release.
