why are box office numbers off?

[edit]

superman 2 did 216 million according to box office mojo the source you guys picked and its own wikipedia page says 190. where is the 108 number coming from? superman 3 is at 80 million for not 50 or whatever. Snowty20000 (talk) 01:40, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

108 is the domestic number.. It looks all of the Superman sequels (and Supergirl) are not including the worldwide number.. just the North American number. This should be fixed. Spanneraol (talk) 14:49, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and updated the numbers per the current Box Office Mojo listings... I can't figure out how the totals work though as the hidden numbers in the computation thing dont seem to match anything. Spanneraol (talk) 16:31, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
the box office number looks like they took the box office mojo source and added on the films that came after numbers to create the total, but they took the domestic number and not world wide accidentally for superman sequels. i think its fixed now.

Blackhawk title

[edit]

Corrected the title of the Blackhawk serial based upon its actual on-screen title, not what is just on the poster. 23skidoo (talk) 16:18, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DC Live-Action movies list

[edit]

Why can't we write about upcoming movies in the list before they are filming them. There should already be 7 more movies in this list. 2003:CC:A731:BF98:1877:1625:E576:B73E (talk) 22:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We generally go by these guidelines (they're intended for individual articles, but the principles apply here as well): Wikipedia:Notability (films)#Future films, incomplete films, and undistributed films
Until production begins we have no real idea of when (or if) a film will be released, or if the final film will line up with anything from the original announcement, so listing it here would be borderline speculation. A lot can happen between a film being greenlit/announced and it actually being made (for example, Black Adam was in development hell on-and-off for at least 16 years, having it listed here that entire time would not have benefited anybody). It's not uncommon for projects in pre-production to be heavily delayed, significantly reworked to the point where the original announcement was meaningless, or outright cancelled. I would also argue that a film just doesn't really exist per-se until they actually start making it (pre-production is just preparing to make the movie, basically), and it seems pretty reasonable to wait to list something here until it actually exists.
A handful of the films DC announced for their new slate aren't even officially being worked on yet, so even if we weren't going by filming specifically it would still far too early to list most of them. ShyKen (talk) 02:18, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand this, but if someone wants to see a list of films that have been announced/in development, where would that be? Should be listed somewhere.Spanneraol (talk) 02:57, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Teen Titans Go! See Space Jam

[edit]

Since this TV special was originally aired on Cartoon Network I think it makes sense to only list this special over at List of television series based on DC Comics publications#TV specials as I think if it's listed on both articles (here and over there) it will only cause needless confusion. So I removed its mention from List of films based on DC Comics publications for these reasons DoctorHver (talk) 00:52, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo

[edit]

What's the point with removing this movie from the list? It's clearly a crossover with DC Comics, since primary antagonist/anti-hero in it is Scarecrow. 5.173.59.117 (talk) 09:20, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I also don't see the problem with this.
Oscar, you really need to stop erasing good-faith edits with zero explanation. ShyKen (talk) 14:26, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
