Overall: @Daniel Case: Good article. However, while the hook says the article couldn't be released on October 1, the infobox said it did. So i kind of want an explanation here. Onegreatjoke (talk) 23:10, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

I have amended the release date in the infobox to October 3, the day it went into general release. Daniel Case (talk) 23:13, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

That was an error in the infobox, as Daniel Case has noted. Per this source, advanced screenings began on 1 October 2014, and the film released to general audiences on 3 October. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:52, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
