Answer 1

I believe that datestring doesn't match the format you specified. See NSDateFormatter for a complete example.

Answer 2

NSMutableArray *movieDate=[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];;
NSArray *temp1 = [_dicUpcomingMovie objectForKey:#"results"];
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
for (int i=0 ;i<temp1.count;i++)
{
NSString *datestring = [[temp1 objectatindex:i]valueForKey:#"release_date"];
[serverFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone localTimeZone]];
[serverFormatter setDateFormat:#"dd,MMM,YYYY"];
NSDate *date = [serverFormatter dateFromString:dateString1];
[movieDate addObject:date];
}
NSLog(#"%#",movieDate);

Answer 3

Try this,
NSMutableArray *movieDate;
NSArray *temp1 = [_dicUpcomingMovie objectForKey:#"results"];
for (NSDictionary *temp2 in temp1)
{
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
NSString *datestring = [temp2 valueForKey:#"release_date"];
//NSDate *myDate = [[NSDate alloc]init];
[formatter setDateFormat:#"dd MM,YYYY"];
NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:datestring];
NSLog(#"%#",date);
[movieDate addObject:date];
NSLog(#"%#",movieDate);
}
