Titanic Numbers[edit]

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)[reply]

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

Phantom Menace rerelease[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Spider-Man rerelease[edit]

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)[reply]

Done Betty Logan (talk) 22:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Yes, one film per week, 8 movies in total--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 23:24, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The entry in the section should be changed, given those facts. 98.228.137.44 (talk) 06:17, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 11:43, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Agreed, that would probably be better. 98.228.137.44 (talk) 12:54, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have the link for The Numbers data, please? Betty Logan (talk) 21:56, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Under Highest-grossing franchises and film series section[edit]

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)[reply]
