OK, I've got this tin which contains Hellraiser and Hellbound. All three are currently in the database as "Clive Barker's..." which is incorrect according to the new rules - at least for the 2 child profiles it is.
But I'm unsure what to do about the parent profile which concerns the tin only. Should it match the film (Hellraiser) or should we treat it differently?

Here's a small picture of the lid of the tin:


There is nothing that can help on the underside - it simply details the contents of the 2 discs.

To give some history to the release (it may help). This was a limited release of Hellraiser, that contained Hellbound as a bonus film, so it's not a traditional boxset. That's why I'm tending to feel that the parent title should match that child profile.
However I am willing to see what others think.

If I read you correctly, this looks like it would fall under the new 'Bonus Feature Films' portion of the rules.  That would mean the parent would be a profile of the film 'Hellraiser' only with the 'bonus film' added to the Other Features field.

My apologies - I didn't make myself clear at all - I just read back my post and I don't even say what my question is!

My primary concern was with the title of the profile - should I remove the possessive or not?

I did look at the bonus feature film rule, but I figured it was released that long ago, I'd have trouble finding documentation that Hellbound was included as a bonus, so I was going to leave it as is.

IMO, the possessive should be removed. The movie's title is Hellraiser.

My understanding is the title should now be Hellraiser

While the film's credits show also Clive Barker's Hellraiser, the back cover of my version supports that it is only "Hellraiser".

(The blurb on the back says:
.... A Film By Clive Barker HELLRAISER...)
