Force "Premiere"/"Release date" to what is shown on IMDB? - SirLT - 2021-11-15

Is there any way to force Ember to tag the premiere date as shown on IMDB? As it is now it tags the date for my country.

Take Toy Story as an example: It's tagged as 1996 in Ember but it first premiered in the US in November 1995.

Looking through the list of release dates on IMDB, Toy Story was released in 1996 in my country. Ember even tags the exact date it was released here.

I've tried changing "Force Title Language" to "USA" for the IMDB scraper. Also tried changing "Country or region" in Windows 10 to United States but on second thought, that wouldn't solve the problem for premieres for non-US movies/premieres.

I thought about scraping through a VPN but that would lead to the same problem as I mentioned above.

I don't trust TMDB scraper as it tagged the first date as Brazil. For some reason it was released there October 30th 1995, almost one month ahead of the Hollywood premiere according to TMDB.
