How We Work
Our Approach
We check Wikipedia and news sources in Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and other local languages for details not available in English.
We list what exists and what we can verify. No invented details, no speculation about future plans.
Drive-in theaters open and close. We update our listings as new information becomes available.
