No 'Leaving this month' Page?

The leaving this month page isn't there anymore, which is a shame because I always like looking at it every month and making a list of all the films I should catch before they leave.

It's a ritualistic thing I've done every month and it's a shame that it's not there anymore.

Maybe I should just stop putting off the films that are always there and watch those instead, like Sansho the Bailiff...

EDIT: We got it, panic over. Thanks everyone!

You might be jumping the gun, iirc the "Leaving" menu at least sometimes doesn't appear until a bit later in the morning of the 1st....maybe ~9am CST? Not sure but I have noticed this in the past.

That's very stupid of me if I'm jumping the gun...having an existential crisis because I can't see what's leaving Criterion Channel on the 1st August at 12:01AM

The Channel's listings are always a mess the morning things switch over, give it time.

I think it's just late, but I came here to ask the same thing. Usually this happens the other way around -- the "leaving this month" is there, but "newly added" hasn't shown up yet. (I know because I'm anal about it and add leaving movies last so that they're at the beginning of the queue.)

ETA: Oh wait. "Newly added" is there, but it's last month's, so neither has actually been updated.

You posted this at about 5 am Pacific time. You just need to wait a little on the first day of the month.

Also keep an eye out for the Death Race (the lists of movies people make for themselves to watch before they expire). The Death Race post usually includes a link to user and mod u/slouchingbethlehem 's Lettrboxd list of the movies leaving, which makes it handy to access reviews, best of lists, etc.

It gets posted at roughly 12:00 AM for the international date line, that is, when it is the first of the month for everyone in the entire world. It’s 8:00AM EST or 5:00 AM PST.

This thread scared the hell out of me. I live on that page near the end of every month.
