Some idiot overwrote the US Donnie Darko entry in DVD Profiler with one for Phone Booth, but the Darko cover remained intact.

I'm making do with the Canadian Donnie Darko entry for now, until the US one gets corrected (couldn't be bothered to correct it myself).

I did try Truth is, the easiest way to do it would just be to change the locality of the Canadian DVD to US and change the rating, then upload it (because it has the same UPC). This will then overwrite the fake Phone Booth entry at the next update. However, every time I tried to do this, DVD Profiler crashed on me for some reason so I didn't fancy creating the entry from scratch.

Maybe you could give the locality change a go and see if you can get it to work?

Same thing happened with Die Hard 2 and Die Hard with a Vengeance on DVDProfiler.

Someone put the Die Hard w/ a Vengeance specs and cover on the UPC number for Die Hard 2.

Also, if you want to see something funny (provided it hasn't been updated), look up Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas on profiler, and check the cast out.

Strange... I just checked my Donnie Darko and the UPC is not the same as you guys mentioned. It's 24543 03644.

I have a different Donnie Darko UPC than the ones mentioned so far: 24543 03642

DVDProfiler didn't have a problem with that UPC.

I just deleted the Phone Booth one and added a Donnie Darko with a different UPC. No biggie.
