How to Change "In Development" Title to Complete

What do you do when your IMDB film page has been changed to "in development"? I did not select that option, as of last week the full page was visible to all and the film was already released: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2326270/

Currently, IMDB says you need to sign up for an IMDbPro account because the title is "in development," but I'd like to change it back to being completed so the page is visible on the main IMDB website.

You need to edit the entry and change the production status to released.

I cannot edit the entry, the "edit" function has been removed from this title even when I am signed into my account.

The production status for this title has been "released" for two weeks, I am not sure why it was all of a sudden changed to "in development."

I have submitted the production status for you.

It is odd that it would revert to in-development status while at the same time listing a release date.

Thank you pbn. It is very strange why it changed the status! I am also unable to edit anything about the page and have submitted a support ticket. Thanks again for your help!

Mr. Vanegas,

At this time, tt3125026 is still listed as "in development" (and you cannot
make changes directly, because the "Edit page" button for that title
is not available without an IMDbPro account).

I'd suggest that you start a new, separate thread, asking
IMDb staff to change the status -- either back to "Pre-production",
or to "Filming" if filming has already started.  (From Twitter I see
that your project's filming was planned to begin in November 2015.)

I’m in the same boat. I don’t know what happened. Please help with this one too. It’s a short film, but it’s our short film. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3616988/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_lk1

The edit form only allows the addition of a new status, not edits or deletion of status so I think you'll need help from staff.

I'd recommend starting a new topic instead of adding a comment to a two-year-old topic that was long-solved.

You could, alternatively, go to the title's page and "edit page" and add "miscellaneous correction," which allows you to send a descriptive message to the page editor directly.

Good luck.
