A title is planned to be released everywhere in the world on the same day. How do I do that?
The title in question is Data Disaster (2019). There is no set release date yet.

The world is a big place, a lot of countries, a lot of time zones.

List the worldwide multi dates in the trivia section.
List the main release date and time as GMT
Or you could list all the release dates by countries that are in the time zones

You can do 5 at a time. And do it several times over depending on how many places there are. The attribute could be used for the local time

Nathan,

The Country section does not have the term "worldwide" in their dropdown list. You need to select the country name with the release date.

If the film is being released in various countries on the same day, you can add as many as 5 countries for each submission.

There is a "World" attribute. I wonder if it is an attribute of functional effect.

Beware that it is rather unlikely (but not impossible) that a title is released exactly on the same day around the world. The main reason is that different countries have different habits in terms on week day for releases.

I actually see that your film is a short, so I am curious to discover how you intend to release it (Internet, VOD, TV channels, theaters?), moreover if you are aiming at doing it on the same day around the world?

I guess it depends on what is meant by 'everywhere in the world on the same day' would that include countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Egypt, Israel, France, Bulgaria, Russia, etc. Quite a feat if done.
