Can't add certain titles to Check-Ins

Certain titles I can click the Yellow down arrow next to "Add to watchlist" and then add to Check-Ins shows up in the list. This is how I've always done it. But now... Only on certain titles, It's just not an option. The Check-Ins are not there. My other lists are, but Check-ins is gone.

For example, for the movie Heart of the Beast (2026) -- I can still add it manually by opening up Check-ins and searching for it, but no matter how many times I try refreshing the title page, the Check-ins link is gone.

This is because a title needs to have a release date in the past before you can either (a) rate it (b) mark it as watched (c) check-in to it and (d) write a review.  This is longstanding IMDb behaviour.  In the example you gave, this title will be available for these features on 23 September: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7526136/releaseinfo/ … unless there is an earlier release date, in which case case you are welcome to add it to IMDb (please see https://help.imdb.com/contribution)?

It seems that any other titles where you are seeing this behaviour are likely to be similarly explained, but please provide details if not.  

Hope this helps.
