Template:InfoboxMovie
Renders the right-hand infobox card on a page about a film — as distinct from a TV series ({{InfoboxShow}}) or book ({{InfoboxBook}}).
Formerly named Template:FilmInfobox — that name now redirects here. Please use {{InfoboxMovie}} conditionals, same as the other infoboxes.
Formatting note: the entire template body is written as one unbroken line, with no line breaks between rows. Splitting rows across multiple lines causes MediaWiki to wrap them in stray <p> tags, breaking the layout; leaving line breaks between rows (even with each row correctly on one line) causes blank fields to leave visible gaps. Keep any future edits to this template on one continuous line. (This template's previous version had the second issue — rows were individually well-formed but separated by blank lines.)
