How this roundup is made

Every Monday a new page starts for the week ahead. Releases come from OmniTrackr's Release Radar: films from Wikidata, TV premieres from TVmaze, the anime season from AniList and games from RAWG. A roundup lists the releases dated inside its week, Monday to Sunday (UTC), with the most followed titles in each format. The write-up is calculated from that data, so nobody paid to be included and nothing is ranked by hand.

The member section counts what OmniTrackr members logged as finished and added that week. It only names a title when at least two members finished or added it, and members who keep a category private are never counted.

The page updates while its week is running. A couple of days after the week ends it is saved as it stands, so the archive shows what actually came out each week. Dates move, and some films open in limited release first, so each card links to its source. Send a correction · Editorial standards
