| | Posted: | | | | When trying to add this title (Colin Farrell movie) I came up with two spellings. Phone booth and Phonebooth. On the cover it says PHONEbooth (with capitalazion of phone) as I read it the title would be in one word, not two? What is correct here? In profiler there are two profiles spelled Phonebooth and 28 as Phone booth. So what would be right? | | | "What's God?"

| | Posted: | | | | The rules say to use the title from the Front Cover... and in this case it does appear to be displayed as a single word.
The copyright listing on the back cover displays it as two words.
If my understanding of the rules is correct, then the Title should be 'Phonebooth' and the Original Title should be 'Phone Booth', although I would have reservations as to whether the Original Title is necessary... | | | Gavin.

| | Posted: | | | | What does it say in the credit box on the back cover? Also, maybe look at the poster on moviegoods or someplace and see how it's written in the credit box. Edit: too slow.  | | | | Last edited: by bigdaddyhorse |

| | Posted: | | | | Creditbox on back says Phone Booth as Blade said. Forntcover, spine says PHONEbooth the same as disc itself. Opening credits says Phone Booth... So what should I go for? P.S this release (5039036033701) is a UK release, but it's not in profiler...yet  | | | "What's God?"

I would say there are two distinct words on the cover, and that is made graphically evident by the different capitalization. | | | | -- Enry |

Hmm... I would say there are two distinct words on the cover, and that is made graphically evident by the different capitalization. I would agree based on the description. I think its similar to Dragon Ball. On the cover its DRAGONBALL but dragon is in yellow and ball is in red. To me that separates it as two words -Agrare |

| | Posted: | | | | The english language rarely binds compounds together into one word. Since both parts are written differently I would take this as an argument to split it into two genuine english words, 'phone' and 'booth'. | | | Karsten

Just to say I agree with this interpretation 100% agreed!! No matter how many colours or fonts they use on the cover - if no space is evident, then it should be Phonebooth  Please take your compounds, typographs and "distinctions" somewhere else - what we see is what we use!  | | | Berak

| | Posted: | | | | I have to say... I would have to agree with the last couple. Rule states to take the title from the front cover... making no exceptions what so ever on how it is presented. If I had the title I would feel I had to vote no to Phone Booth. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I think either interpretation ("Phone Booth" or "Phonebooth") would be acceptable, but I lean towards it being two words. By using different font weights, it seems reasonable to assume that the intent is to visually separate the two words from each other. |
