I'm going to change the line about being the second-highest grossing Canadian film of 2015. Brooklyn [1] and Room [2] have much higher worldwide grosses, and both are Canadian films (albeit coproductions). Mathew5000 (talk) 08:08, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As at Snowtime!, the issue is that Room and Brooklyn both ran up their box office in 2016, not 2015. "Top-grossing film of the year" does not attach to the year of the film's release, such that it can be retroactively reassigned based on box office extending into the following year — it attaches to the year the tickets were actually sold. Either Room or Brooklyn still has a shot at being named Canada's top-grossing film of 2016, despite being nominally 2015 films — but neither one of them bumps Snowtime! or The Mirage off the 2015 pedestal, because it's the year in which the ticket sales happened that determines what film gets the title, not the year in which the film was first screened even if it didn't actually go wider-release until the following year.
