For both DVD and BLURAY for "The War of the Worlds (1952)":

Both are listed as 1952, but IMDB lists this film as released 1953. Does this count as a correction? I don't know what source reference is used for dates of films/etc here on dvdcompare, I wondered if it might be IMDB?

1953. Thanks! Updated it.

1952 was the copyright on the print. The film was made in January 1952 and was completed in that year but sat around on the shelf until April 1953 when it was premiered in London. It didn't see US release until July '53. So, to my mind a 1952 film.

Rick we’ve discussed this multiple times before. The year we have here is when it was screened/broadcast, NOT when it was made.
