It's probably the same case that "Dawn of the dead : Ultimate edition", so you enter all the info and you make it a boxset or no in your private database. In my database this is a boxset, but since it's the French canadian edition I had never submit my profile. Sorry if I don't have a definitive answer.

Seems like if your using watched statistics like I do it would be easier for these types of movies, someone would then know what version of Dawn of the Dead Ultimate your watching or the extended Superman or Theatrical. Dont you agree?

I understand what you are saying but, under the current rules, they don't qualify as 'box sets'.  The term 'more than one film' means different films, not different cuts of the same film.  That is just my opinion, your mileage, of course, will vary. 
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

I'm not too sure about this one - what you have is two films made by two different directors. The fact that they share some of the same shots shouldn't really matter.
I'd go for boxset - we've made other profiles into boxsets with a lot less justification!

Some of the disc IDs are the exact same as the discs in the 14-disc Superman "Ultimate Collector's Edition" Box Set however ... so if this becomes a box set as well, which coverscans and case type are technically correct?

They both came out on the same release date, so either is technically correct then? It's a conundrum.

Does not matter to me, which ever are entered first would be my educated guess.

The "Ultimate Collector's Edition" was submitted/approved on here first. I don't know if that's valid enough to vote no on a submitted change however...

Not weird at all... they release all five films separately, so that people can choose only to buy a selection of those. For those people who want it all they used the same discs, added a couple of diswcs as well, threw them all in one big packaging and sell  it as Ultimate Collection. why make different discs...

I would say that even there is two little thiner than regular keep cases, it is still "Keep Case with Slip Cover"

And Superman movie doesn't have two directors. Old theatrical and new extended is directed by Richard Donner.
Superman II is different case.

You're right - my apologies - I was thinking of Superman 2 when I wrote that! In that case, I'm changing my stance - I don't think this should be a boxset.

Not really, it happens sometimes when they release multiple packaging releases too. The same thing happened with the UK Phantasm set which came out on the same day in two radically different packaging formats.
