About Evangelion

Seems it went way down cause pachinko revenue was cut. But I don't see why it wouldn't count. 2A02:8071:67C0:4C40:7AA7:6607:4E95:EEB0 (talk) 05:18, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe pachinko revenue is counted under retail sales which we don't have numbers for. Timur9008 (talk) 15:06, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List makes no sense. No Criteria is listed.

Why is Pokemon one category? But thing's like Spider-man and the Avengers are seperated. I mean Batman is seperate from DC, when he is part of it.

Would something like Batman v.. Superman count as Superman, Batman or DCEU.

Disney Princesses is somehow seperated from the Little Mermaid? 96.244.39.168 (talk) 17:22, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It also double dips for things like Pokemon. Example: It sites a source that indicates Pokemon has over 11 billon in merchandise sales AND over 6.5 billion in Videogame sales sales. But the source of the 11 billion, includes video game sales in the number.

The list reads like some Pokemon fan trying to make it look like his hobby is the most successful of all time. It is a bad list and whoever made it should feel bad. 96.244.39.168 (talk) 18:22, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Batman is its own thing per the $16 billion retail sales number which is directly from Warner Bros. Consumer Products division.[1].

Same thing with Pokémon and Disney Princesses per their sources. Pokémon Mobile games isn't retail sales hence it listed seperatly. (License Global retai reports for The Pokémon Company includes stuff like Home entertainment).

For the record I'm not a Pokémon fan. The point of the list was to list Ancillary revenue aka none Box office revenue. Timur9008 (talk) 07:41, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Books for some?

Books for Wizarding World and Star Wars, but not for James Bond, MIDDLE EARTH, or Narnia Chronicles? This list is so inconsistent it isn't even funny. And to include book sales but NOT include comic book sales is also not adequate. I also take question with listing Lego as 1995, and not including the Lego movie franchise. The list needs improvement, for sure. I'm not the one with the resources, though. I'm sure someone else will jump at the chance to do it. Djeboe (talk) 17:35, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Batman and Dragon Ball are incomplete

When it comes to TV revenue for Batman, only the 1960s Adam West show and the 1989 Tim Burton movie are counted. Many prominent Batman TV shows and films have been released which are not counted.

As for Dragon Ball, only the gross of the most recent four films has been counted. There are several Dragon Ball movies that were made before which are not counted on the source provided in this article. LeafyFeathers (talk) 17:38, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
