Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Inaccurate worldwide gross

edit

The figures are inaccurate. The article cites 6.87B yen as the total in Japan which is accurate but then equates that to 86.1B USD which is false. According to boxofficemojo, the total worldwide gross is 72.822M USD and in Japan it made 68.244M USD. According to thenumbers, it made 68.244M in Japan. This is much closer to 6.87B yen than 86.1M is which is completely off the mark. Please change it back and thank you.

The exchange rate in 2012 was closer to 80 than the 110 now. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 13:51, 19 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Yes you are exchanging rates to current rates Panda619 (talk) 16:06, 19 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
I've changed the wording so it points to the 6.87 billion yen, about the only part that has remained consistent over the years. There is also a footnote for those who want to calculate the translation. The "international" box office returns are small (< US$4 million) in comparison), so I did not include those. If you want to elaborate on the international returns, you can expand those sections with those references. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 16:20, 19 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Can I add them in Infobox separately as worldwide, since BOM has some countries BO figures while The numbers doesn't, vice versa, which in total equates to about $89 million Panda619 (talk) 16:26, 19 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Panda619, you could list both like with Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'. Notice the embedded notes pertaining to the detailed calculation of the number though. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 16:37, 19 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, like Spirited Away. Panda619 (talk) 16:40, 19 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
The movie came out in late 2012 so the exchange rate for early 2012 and late 2013 should be used, not early 2012. On December 15th the exchange rate was 83.5 and on Feb 6th, less than 2 months after the movie's release, the exchange rate was 93.73. That's anywhere from 73M to 80M in Japan. 86.1M is completely off the mark. The movie did not gross 89M even adjusted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.56.124.80 (talkcontribs)

I suggest using the hand calculation then rather than the "to USD" function, which assumed a conversion rate from early 2012, like you said. Let's use 83.52 per X-Rates https://www.x-rates.com/historical/?from=JPY&amount=1&date=2012-12-15 This gives

  • Japan – ¥6.87 billion (US$82.3 million) (2012)
  • Hong Kong & Taiwan – $1.4 million
  • Philippines, Singapore, Thailand – 0.7 million
  • South Korea – ₩626,891,000 - 0.6 million

or about 85 million. If you want to drop it to 84.9 for rounding down, you can calculate more precisely, but it's probably gonna be rounded to the 0.1 million. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 19:12, 19 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

84.9 seems more accurate. 89 seemed to high of an estimate and 72 was too low. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.56.124.80 (talk) 20:38, 19 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
82.3 + 1.382 + 0.681 + 0.595 = 84.958. so round up to 85 is okay. This isn't one of those large milestone numbers like 1 billion where rounding up would not be accurate. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 17:20, 22 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
