Ok, they have changed the name on the cover of Zack and Miri Make a Porno. The packaging shows Zack and Miri and the opening credits show Zack and Miri Make a porno.
Aparently some stores will not carry the movie with Porno in the Title according to walmart
so how does this movie get labeled
I have submitted this
Title: Zack and Miri
Original Title: Zack and Miri Make a Porno
How does this need to be documented for the notes

Sounds like you did it right since the title has to come from the front cover...

Since you said the credits use the full title I would think you should be ok just by stating that....  Something like...

- Title from the front cover per Rules
- Original title added... taken from the opening Credits of the movie itself

Agreed.

Thanks, I having one issue with someone talking about the copyright notice. Where can I find it other then the back of case

the  UPC for this is 796019817974
Some stores are changing the Case becuase of the porno in the Title

Yea, I just looked and I see you have the Blu-ray version so, nevermind on that pont.  Before you make the change, however, I would make sure that it wasn't a 'local' issue.  As I said, the stores in my area have the full title.

I sure hope they were given a different UPC for their 'cleaned up cover'.  If not, I can see some ping-ponging on the horizon.

"The Original Title comes from the Copyright notice FIRST per rules. Original Title per Copyright Notice is "Zack and Miri"."

How do I fix this

From this bit of the rules -

Quote:
#  Modified Titles: The Original Title field will contain the original theatrical title, while the Title field will contain the title of the DVD release.  For instance, for the Special Edition rerelease of There's Something About Mary:

    * Title: There's Something More About Mary
    * Original Title: There's Something About Mary

Edit: If the film was theatrically released with porno then the original title field should have porno.

It is situational.  This title was modified because they didn't want the word 'Porno' on the cover...anywhere on the cover.  That includes the copyright notice.  In this case, you should apply the modified title portion of the rule

Although I fully, fully agree that 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno' needs to be in the original title field (and would do so locally), it's not allowed per the rules. I've got many perfectly valid "original titles" declined thanks to this "copyright notice" part of the rule, and it's really time that it stops. I've asked to change that rule time and time again - maybe this time someone will listen.

The issue is that the rules on "original title" say: "Use the title from the copyright notice if available, otherwise from the film's credits." I have personally asked Ken to make the film credits the primary source, providing several very valid and obvious examples like this one, and he declined, saying that making the copyright notice the primary source was done consciously. So now we're stuck with it: if the copyright notice says 'Zack and Miri', then unfortunately, that's what the online database is stuck with. There really is no way around it - under the current rule, that is.

I suggest we all campaign to finally get this fixed.
