I think one of the worst examples is this: https://movielens.org/movies/143351
Fantastic Four 2 (2017). A movie that doesn't exist and most likely never will. Still hasn't stopped 25 people from posting ratings. The IMDb and trailer links are non-existent. I'm not sure how that even got added.

Some people get advanced screenings, so one month before release would be reasonable.
Allow users to add unreleased movies though - my wish list includes movies that haven't been released yet.
