See recent discussion about this here :-

Someone needs to take the time to test the pull request to see if it 
fixes the problem and report back if it improves things.


If you are too lazy to patch the file yourself just get the patched 
version from my fork here :-

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paul-h/mythtv/master/mythtv/programs/scripts/metadata/Movie/tmdb3.py

Just copy it over your existing tmdb3.py file probably in 
/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie/

The patched version should work with both 'A Simple Plan 1998' and 'A 
Simple Plan (1998)' but it needs someone to spend the time to test 
different combinations to see what actually works and what doesn't.
