Interesting.

US Release Date was initially a temporary new field so that the spoiler screen could have one specific date to key off of. Instead, because most users wanted to keep the site international friendly, we opted for a "Spoiler Release Date" field so either US or International could be used as desired. (My documentation wasn't great there at the end).

I didn't remove the US release date field out of pure laziness, but I like your idea. If you'd like to go through the movies and separate the release dates, I'll update the Template:Md code to use the US date rather than the entire shpiel. Though I wonder if the community will care...

Most times I just try stuff and see what people say.
