Article not fit for purpose[edit]

This article has extensive problems with sourcing, verifiability and factual accuracy. I have just undertaken an extensive correction of the data in the first table: [1]. For example, the article had Zootopia listed in top place with a global opening of $233.9 million, yet Box Office Mojo does not have it listed on its chart at http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/worldwideopenings.htm. In fact, according to http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=main&id=disney2016.htm Zootopia had a domestic opening of $75 million and a foreign opening of $4.5 million, for worldwide opening of less than $80 million. The problems with accuracy extend all the way through the article. There are also problems with sourcing: there are broken citations from 10 through 23, and in some cases the wrong sources are being used. For example, Shrek 3 is listed at #5 in the List_of_highest-grossing_openings_for_animated_films#Biggest_opening_day_in_U.S._and_Canada_for_an_animated_film_since_1992 section but the source for Monsters Univeristy is being used! This article is not fit for purpose at the moment and needs to be overhauled. Betty Logan (talk) 18:47, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is the immediate attention tag still necessary? The contents have changed significantly since it was added. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 02:45, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ice Age[edit]

I'm not seeing Ice Age 3's 218.4 mil figure on the reference given. I know the much newer Dory was reported to have broken the record for highest animated opening long after Ice Age. I'm planning on removing Ice Age from the list entirely (the opening I see on the source given is lower than any other on the list). Posting here in case I'm missing something from the Box Office Mojo ref. Hammill Ten (talk) 20:02, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Lion King remake opening weekend?[edit]

Why is there such a huge discrepancy between the number listed here and the number that was reported at the time? For example, this says it made $446.1 million, almost $200 million more than what the article says: https://deadline.com/2019/07/the-lion-king-spider-man-far-from-home-avengers-endgame-toy-story-4-aladdin-china-global-international-box-office-1202650112/ Alphius (talk) 20:30, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
