Simple question. What is the Original Title for Alien vs. Predator?

At the moment, the database has several titles for the film. It should all boil down to one film, but it doesn't right now.

Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_vs._Predator_(film) - says the following...

"Alien vs. Predator (stylized on-screen as AVP: Alien vs. Predator) is a 2004 American science fiction action horror film and the first in the Alien vs. Predator franchise."

The opening credits show this... (cropped for size.)

Above screenshot was not indicative of the release title in the film's country of origin (namely, USA). The UK cinema title was "AVP - Alien Vs. Predator".

The film was an American production (Davis Entertainment Company, Brandywine Productions) with co-production from [UK, CZECH, CANADA, GERMANY].

The theatrical title used in the United States was "Alien vs. Predator", corroborated as follows:
  • CARA film rating.
  • U.S. copyright registration.
  • IMDB release info for United States.

The only countries that used "AVP: Alien vs. Predator" in the cinemas were Australia, Ecuador, Finland, Hong Kong, India, Phillipines, Romania, South Africa and United Kingdom.

The original title should be "Alien vs. Predator".

From Rules:

Original Title
The Original Title field serves two general purposes, but in both cases allows for the tracking of the original feature title. For profiles which have an alternate title displayed on the cover, use the title from the film's credits. For titles released outside their country of origin, use the original release title.
