Elodie �s absolutely right, you would need the passive form. Or "the film came out" for a nice conversational expression. Depends on your context really. However, you probably want to keep the subject as "the film" (rather than "they")
HTH!

Both are correct but "this film was released in 2006" is using the passive voice and "the film released in 2006" is using the simple past. It depends on how you want touse the sentence! |

it depends on whether or not you have a full stop at the end of the sentence.
"The film was released in 2006. " is a complete sentence.
"The film releasd in 2006" is just a clause which may be the subject of a whole sentence like in:
The film releasd in 2006 was fabulous.

Both are correct. It all depends on how you plan to use the phrases.
a) This film was released in 2006 (and it was a flop).
b) The film released in 2006 was a flop.
The second sentence is incomplete; it is a noun phrase (I think). Whereas the first example is a complete sentence and doesn �t need something else to complete it like the second example does.
Cheers,
