Godzilla tracker

As godizlla is near the list here is a tracker of the franchise. Fan Of Lion King 🦁 (talk) 11:49, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Highest-grossing franchises and film series[§] (The films in each franchise can be viewed by selecting "show".)

We already have the data here (we only need to add the last two movies), and this is from another page--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 12:26, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Now we have the right one--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 12:47, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

† Background shading indicates that at least one film in the series is playing in the week commencing 12 April 2024 in theaters around the world.

Consider that eg a James Bond film is showing at https://princecharlescinema.com/PrinceCharlesCinema.dll/Seasons?e=29205568 - seems that this may never be totally accurate. 90.251.159.52 (talk) 09:10, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

The highlighting is mainly functional. It lets readers know that a total hasn't been finalised, and it helps editors keep track of what needs to be updated. It's very unlikely that a box-office tracker will track a one-off screening, but if these are treated as films in release by Box Office Mojo or the Numbers or some other tracker then we will highlight them accordingly.

Titanic Numbers

There are no sources given for the notes on the "incorrect" numbers for Titanic. Without any kind of source, the entire thing is Original Research and should be removed. 128.151.71.8 (talk) 17:45, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

I am counting six sources. Please can you be a bit more specific? Betty Logan (talk) 00:56, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Phantom Menace rerelease

The Phantom Menace has a rerelease currently in theaters, so it needs the highlighting. 2601:249:9301:D570:A913:9C3F:F125:1840 (talk) 21:46, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

  Done Thank you for letting us know, I will take care of it. May the 4th be with you. Betty Logan (talk) 22:20, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Spider-Man rerelease

The page should probably make note of the original trilogy rerelease for Columbia’s 100th anniversary. The other live action films are also having upcoming rereleases. 66.99.15.163 (talk) 14:16, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

  Done Betty Logan (talk) 22:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
In the $3,7 million gross "The Amazing Spider-Man" is included, is not only the Raimi films--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 22:23, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Indeed, the source now shows that. I believe it's one film per week. 98.228.137.44 (talk) 22:42, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Yes, one film per week, 8 movies in total--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 23:24, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
The entry in the section should be changed, given those facts. 98.228.137.44 (talk) 06:17, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
  Done--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 11:43, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
I don't know if this would be too much hassle, but The Numbers have posted the gross of each individual film released as it says in the schedule from the link above, and it does corespond with each daily gross from BOM's "Columbia 100th Anniversary Series", so with that I would suggest the new grosses be added to each individual film, especially now that they are re-releasing the Tom Holland trilogy and that would have to be updated in the MCU tab also. DCF94 (talk) 20:53, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Agreed, that would probably be better. 98.228.137.44 (talk) 12:54, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Do you have the link for The Numbers data, please? Betty Logan (talk) 21:56, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
It's on each individual film's Numbers page, but I'm not saying we should use the links from The Numbers, cause the BOM "Columbia 100" page shows how every week there's a high bump in the earnings that correlates with the release dates from the article above and with The Numbers' own posts, that's why I brought that up. But if you think we should use a more explicit source, then we can use the links from The Numbers. DCF94 (talk) 13:43, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

inflation expansion

Could we expand the inflation chart to a top 15?

I disagree, 15 is a "weird" number, the top 10 is perfect for this table--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 10:37, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
Regardless of the merit of the proposal the numbers are slightly out anyway. I have been tracking the top 15 here in the hope of expanding the table eventually. My plan was to do it when we had a enough data for a top 20. As Luke Stark says, a top 15 is a rather arbitrary number, although I don't have strong feelings either way. At the moment though we can't go beyond The Exorcist, so we have to wait for films to enter above (most likely the Avatar sequels, because there doesn't seem to be anything else on the horizon with the capability of cracking $2 billion).

Under Highest-grossing franchises and film series section

This bit should be removed

"If ancillary income from merchandise is included, then Star Wars is the most lucrative property; it holds the Guinness world record for the "most successful film merchandising franchise" and was valued at £19.51 billion (about $31 billion) in 2012"

We simply don't know the merch numbers for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (it's its own brand) because at this point it probably surpassed Star Wars. Timur9008 (talk) 08:38, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Betty Logan what do you think? Timur9008 (talk) 16:50, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
I have no objections to removing it. It is out of date and isn't all that relevant to the topic of the article. Betty Logan (talk) 20:14, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
I agree,   Done--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 22:10, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
If we get up-to-date figures at some point in the future, I think we should add it back. The second paragraph of the article's body points out that theatrical revenue is only part of the story, after all. TompaDompa (talk) 22:14, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
I don't have a problem with that. I'm almost certain I was the editor who added that information in the first place when I overhauled this article back in 2011/12 or whenever it was, because I felt it was helpful to have some further context there, that there were other forms of revenue. It's just that it wasn't really telling us anything factual at this point. Betty Logan (talk) 11:56, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
