October-December: Published in a Year of the Dragon
The Year of the Dragon relates to the Chinese calendar. Dragon is the fifth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. 2024 is the “Year of the Dragon.” This occurs every twelve years. 

Some examples of more recent Years of the Dragon include: 1904, 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024.

The movie does not have to be released in the Year of the Dragon. The movie or TV adaption can be released any year.

Also, keep in mind that some books will have various editions published in different years. (When researching, you may notice a variety of pub dates depending on whether it’s a paperback copy, hardcover, or original first edition.) Any book originally published during a Year of the Dragon will count toward this prompt.
