Hi. I put in information over 3 weeks ago about a film I was part of which has been released on DVD and is well known. Nothing has shown up on my account whether it has been accepted or rejected.

Also, I have updated information on my biography, which was changed within a day. I noticed I had made a huge error so sought to correct it. This was on the 4th May. Still nothing has changed but it is being processed. Why did it happen so quickly first time, but not this second time? It is an important correction.

How long or short it takes to update information on IMDb depends on the type of data being submitted. There may be a current backlog for a specific data type. Not all items appear on the site at the same time.

For information on any data backlogs, check out the Data Processing Times page.

For the data that was submitted three weeks ago, I would suggest posting the 18-digit reference number for an IMDb representative to view to see if there was an issue. The number would be located on your personal Update History page or your email correspondence from IMDb.

I hope this helps. Please write back if you have any more questions.
