Because it was never added to the Master List.

So, is there any way to add it to the master list?

I'm surprised at how little buzz there has been for this installment. I've read this one is a lot better than the first (for actually having a plot, for one) but unlike the endlessly-hyped first film, no one is talking about it.
Everything on this post is strictly the opinion and only the opinion of Buscemi.

Movies are added to the Master List by Mario. He generally adds all the movies that are on BOM's calendar on that particular day. Not all of them make it into the game, but they do make it onto the Master List. The Raid 2 must not have been added to the List the last time he added titles. And since this is a March movie, he generally doesn't add titles that are a month or less away.

Sorry.

I see, well as long as it doesn't have a major impact on the PTA, it won't matter. The Art of the steal is another one missing, but I know that was a late addition.
We may just take note of any major omissions on this thread like instructions not included

I want to take advantage of this topic to say something I've always thought and kept to myself.
The raid apart, there are a lot of movies not taken into consideration for the game purposes. I can say this because I also play the Italian leagues and there is always a longer list of movies from which choose. Probably this depends from the fact that the Master List for the Italian leagues is usually uploaded at the last minute, whereas Shrykespeare always tries to do thing in advance, he has already sent the Pricing scheme for the Apr - Jun leagues.
I noticed that so far there are few limited movies in June, but everybody knows that more of them might be added on BOM in few days.
I also noticed that sometimes there are movies which weren't in the Pricing scheme, probably because they are added later, so I wonder who decides their price, Shryke on his own?

Yes, when I have to add a movie on short notice, I come up with the price on my own, simply because their isn't time to get a consensus from the entire pricing panel. However, if movies are added for June between now and mid-April, I will add them to the pricing scheme that I send out for when we do the May-July leagues.

Make sense?
