wolf warriors 2

On this film Wikipedia page, it gross is $878.3 million. But here its gross is $870.3. Tell the original gross.PrinceofPunjab (talk) 04:06, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Terminator 2

Paramount has already announced the date of 2nd installment of their new trilogy, May 19th, 2017. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.171.227.39 (talk) 20:02, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Henson's Muppet Babies

This film doesn't exist and it doesn't have a source. Please delete it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.61.103.40 (talk) 10:12, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to columns

Removed Medium column and added Country to list of films. Moved Animation and Hybrid Animation to Genre based on the existing information in the Medium column I removed.

I suggest the Year in film pages that are more than a year in the future get locked down. Have a link for regular editors to submit suggested updates for approval instead of messing with all the fanboyz adding their wishlists for stuff like Harry Potter and the Zombie Dumbledore Part LIV.

If we start putting in every film that someone is THINKING about making the world will come to an end, especially once they see what I am thinking.

Same thing with the sections for Highest-grossing films, Events and Notable deaths. We would probably get a bunch of weirdos checking every day to see when they are going to snuff it. Kid Bugs (talk) 06:09, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding order placement of film titles

Hi, I'm sorry to post this question but I wanted to find out how come there is no real order for the titles in a particular week? I've found that there are times they seemed to have been added in no particular order. For example, the 20th of January 2017, the list has Split, xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, The Resurrection of Gavin Stone and Aloko Udapadi. Shouldn't it be in alphabetical order or is there some detail I'm not aware of? - RVDDP2501 (talk) 20:17, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Underworld: Awakening

This title needs to be listed under the first weekend in January. It a 2016 film — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.157.176 (talk) 18:16, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Split

Split, for M. Night Shyamalan it's a 2016 movie.OscarFercho (talk) 01:05, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Monster Trucks

Monster Trucks came out in 2017 and grossed higher than The Bye Bye Man so far. So shouldn't Monster Truck be #1 on the list of top 10 highest grossing movies of 2017? It's not even on the list in this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annonymos93 (talk • contribs) 08:10, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Monster Trucks was released in Europe in December, so it should be in 2016 in film. Someone moved it to this list, and then someone else removed it without putting it back where it belongs. Unfortunately I can't easily fix that right now. Reach Out to the Truth 22:27, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Cedric Movie

Sony Pictures Animation and Columbia Pictures,Sony Pictures and France 3 Cinema as confirmed 3D computer-animated action-adventure comedy and romance based on french 2D-animated and comic. The film was released in France and China on March 10, 2017, and in the United States on June 2, 2017.

Underworld: Blood Wars on the highest-grossing list

Shouldn't Underworld: Blood Wars be added to the highest-grossing list? According to its page, it has made over $70 million. Charlotte Allison (Morriswa) (talk) 01:07, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you check Underworld's Box Office Mojo page, you will see that it was released internationally in 2016, BOM classifies its movies based on a US release date, but this is a worldwide page, and only films that were first released theatrically in 2017 will be added on this list. DCF94 (talk) 18:21, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clearing that up. I thought it was released this year. Or was that just in the US. Was it released in other countries first? Charlotte Allison (Morriswa) (talk) 20:00, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if you check Underworld's Box Office Mojo page in the foreign section^[1], you will see that most of the internationally releases happened in 2016, and to clarify how the Top 10 highest-grossing films list works, even though the main source for this list is BOM, they have a rule that "Movies must be released in the US for the year specified to qualify for this chart (their 2017 Worldwide chart)." ^[2](check the bottom of the page). Which in reality isn't technically correct, if a film was released in 99 countries in 2016, and in the US in 2017, that doesn't make it a "2017 film". So even though you see titles like Underworld: Blood Wars, The Great Wall, Your Name, etc. on the BOM 2017 chart, that doesn't make them a 2017 film if it wasn't released WORLDWIDE in 2017.

The Great Wall

Shouldn't The Great Wall be considered the highest-grossing film of this year thus far? It has made $219 million internationally.

Spider-man's records

This page says "Spider-Man: Homecoming broke Iron Man's record ($98.1 million) for the highest weekend debut for a non-sequel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe", but wouldn't Avengers have broken that? Avengers is as much of a non-sequel as Spider-Man: Homecoming is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanielDPeterson (talk • contribs) 05:03, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Box office updates

This article (and some other "[year] in film" articles) gets daily updates to movie grosses by IPs, without providing any references or explanations. Might semi-protection of the article be in order? Trivialist (talk) 16:20, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Massive list

I don't know why we're now adding a massive list of films by release date on this main general list page. We have Template:2017 films with specific lists for each country. Nobody created a 2017 US film list for this year which is the one which should really list most of the American ones and in detail by month. Really this main list ought to be more balanced globally and then the list of American films of 2017 list every US film released in 2017 in more detail.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:26, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Year in film guideline

Shouldn't the release dates of these films follow this guideline? WP:FILMYEAR We should place them in the dates where they had their world premiere or debut screening at a film festival. And1987 (talk) 00:45, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. The guideline is explicit about this. Wikipedia is supposed to take a global perspective, so taking the general release date in just a single country is not helpful. Most films have staggered releases and some are international co-productions so the simplest approach is to just go with the earliest date. Betty Logan (talk) 03:16, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did as many edits as I could to follow the guideline. If there are anymore that I forgot, then we should take care of them. And1987 (talk) 01:11, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
