Currently, a movie series is treated like a movie. In theory, this seems logical. However, a movie series has multiple episodes (like an anime series) and thus varies in episode length, release date, and title.

The movie template forces you to use the premiere dates as means of release and title. It would look cleaner and allow for more information if it used the episode format, like this.

I agree that movie series don't really fit the usual movie pattern. But given that the vast majority of movies are normal movies, it wouldn't make much sense to add "number of movies" or "movie titles" information. Thankfully, movie series are still a rare enough occurrence that entering the various installments under "Premiere date" is quite tolerable IMHO.
