Abstract
In a method and system for forecasting an availability of content, a selection of a media content item is received. Metadata related to the selected media content item is retrieved from a database record corresponding to the media content item. The metadata includes release data for a release window associated with the media content item. Based on the release data indicating the media content item has been released in the release window, an actual release date for the release window is presented to the client device. Based on the release data indicating the media content item has not been released in the release window, an estimated release date and a confidence indicator for the estimated release date for the release window are generated using the retrieved metadata and presented to the client device.
