Item: Fear Street Part 1: 1994

Language: en-US

Type of Problem: Incorrect_content

Extra Details: The title on the official Netflix material is Part One, not Part 1. Same goes for Parts Two and Three. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/591274-fear-street-2 / https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/591275-fear-street-3

But when you 'view source' on the page (when not logged in) the title is "Fear Street Part 1: 1994". The posters do say 'One' though. However, the press/media pages also have it as '1' (https://media.netflix.com/en/only-on-netflix/81325689). The trailer on Netflix's official YouTube channels also use '1', '2' as opposed to 'one' and 'two'

Yeah, it looks like Part One/Two/Three are promotional titles, whereas the listing on Netflix itself uses Part 1/2/3, and the actual onscreen title doesn't use the 'Part' at all - the onscreen title for the first film is just Fear Street: 1994.

And the onscreen title for the second is just Fear Street: 1978

Yeah... This is gonna be fun LOL

Apparently TMDb favours onscreen titles: "When the promotional material use slightly different titles (e.g. Twelve Monkeys vs 12 Monkeys), we try to use the title as it is written in the original on-screen opening credits." - https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/movie/59f3b16d9251414f20000001#59f3b1749251414f2000000c

So Fear Street: 1994, Fear Street: 1978 and (presumably) Fear Street: 1666.

Yeah, in that case the onscreen during the film's intro scenes is "Fear Street" and then the year gets 'splashed' over it so Fear Street: 1994. But when you pause the film the top left shows "Fear Street Part Two 1978"

To be honest, so long as searching for each variation works and brings the user to the correct film then it shouldn't really matter!

You mean in the Netflix video player? Mine says "Fear Street Part 2: 1978", but either way I'd say that's equivalent to a digital retail listing, same as you'd find on iTunes or Google Play. The only titles that are physically attached to the film don't use the 'Part'.

At the end of the first film where you get the 'to be continued' and the teaser for Part 2 it comes up at the end with 'Fear Street' in big letters then '1968' gets splashed over it. There's no on-screen title for the first film as such.

Netflix's PR / Media centre uses 1/2/3 for the titles (https://media.netflix.com/en/only-on-netflix/81325689) but their artwork uses one/two/three (eg image link )

When you pause the video via the website then the title is shown using 1/2/3 (screenshot ) and the 'title' in the html page source also uses 1/2/3 (screenshot ). On the Netflix page at https://www.netflix.com/title/81334749 (when you're not logged in) it uses both the artwork (one/two/three) and the main title 1/2/3 (screenshot ).

So to me that is implying that the actual titles are "Fear Street Part 1: 1994" rather than the artwork/posters that use one/two/three. There seems to be more instances where 1/2/3 are used over the words.

Yeah, I agree 1/2/3 is more prevalent than One/Two/Three, which only appears on promotional materials, but the onscreen titles don't use either of the Part formats, so it seems that's what would be correct for TMDb purposes.
