I don’t know if it exists now (I haven’t been able to do it). It is possible to include the movies that I have on my Watchlist in Progress, just as it can be enabled in the settings for the TV Shows that I am adding to my watchlist.
I like to keep track of what I’m going to see on that side and it would be very useful for me to have the movies on that list, so they don’t accumulate on my pending list.
I’m not sure movies make sense since the sorting options are very different for shows vs movies. A lot of stuff doesn’t apply to movies. The design of that page wouldn’t really work (only grid mode would).
Hold on for a second here. You can manipulate new shows you place in watchlist to come into your progress as they become available?
Right now I place a future show, ie release date month from now, into watchlist and I have to remember to look there when it becomes available.
