I need a 2017 in Film page to be made, because the movie "Ferdinand" comes out April 7, 2017, it's animated and directed by Carlos Saldanha http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=104401 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.3.6.27 ( talk) 20:10, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Does this need a Medium column? Prior years do not have it, and I really do not believe it adds much to the article. I can think or much more useful information to put in if one was to use the space. Kid Bugs ( talk) 23:47, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
It is very nice that editors are updating the list of Highest-grossing films, I an sorry that I do not have time to add the films that are missing from the list of 2016 films. Kid Bugs ( talk) 23:43, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
Shouldn't The Revenant be at the top of the list? Or does its limited release in 2015 make it not count? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LegerPrime ( talk • contribs) 13:32, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
I updated the list of film festivals with best information readily available at this time, using the list from 2015 as a basis. I am wondering about notability and if festivals should even be listed before information is made available. New York, Carthage and Metro Manila have not placed any information online, I could not even find where to submit a film for consideration short of sending a random email. All of the festivals listed are reasonably well established, the newest coming into it's 27 year. Length of run is probably not a good basis for notability, any ideas? Kid Bugs ( talk) 22:05, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Re: September 8–18 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, we know what year the festival is, it is at the top of the page. If the festival is for a different year, it would be on a different page. Kid Bugs ( talk) 08:27, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
I noticed that Treeroy removed Sherlock: The Abominable Bride from the Top 10 Gross list, with the note "removed Sherlock as it is not a 2016 film and so should not be considered in the chart." I had nothing to do with putting it on this list, but having done a bit to checking on it, I think it should be on the list. It opened in theatres simultaneously with the TV broadcast, which would present an interesting situation for BAFTA and AMPAS for award consideration, but we do not need to deal with that. The fact is, it opened in theatres and generated box office revenue, and was released in 2016. I do not see any reason why it should not be on the list, especially since it has made over $36,000,000 so far. Kid Bugs ( talk) 00:13, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
No, this is NOT about the current Edit War over the content in the Notable deaths section.
The column "Notable films" should be changed to "Known for" or "Notable for". Many people that will be on that list are not best known for specific films. From the 2015 list, most would not know Donna Douglas for her films, but everybody over 30 knows her for the character Elly May on The Beverly Hillbillies.
Studio executives would not be known for a particular film, Steve Jobs is listed for Toy Story and A Bug's Life, instead of as majority shareholder of Pixar and later Disney.
Agents are normally known for those they represent, such as Sam Cohn who had Paul Newman and Woody Allen to name a few. Cohn isn't even ON the list, even though he was considered the first superagent.
Critics are not normally notable for films they happened to be involved in, Roger Ebert is turning in his grave to see that he listed as being notable for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens.
I wanted to throw this out there before making the change. With the current edit war going on, I am sure this will be like stepping on a land mine, unless the page is semi-protected, which would not be a bad idea anyway. Kid Bugs ( talk) 22:26, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
209.140.38.94 is the latest IP in edit war with AleCapHollywood over the death list. 24.191.98.232 was doing it before, both 24.191.98.232 and 209.140.38.94 resolve to Optimum in Hicksville, NY. Kid Bugs ( talk) 01:25, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Shouldn't Deadpool being highest-grossing R-rated film of all time be listed among the notable records? Malachi108 ( talk) 18:54, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
About the edit waring on the "Notable deaths" list, I've noticed that several people have been removed from the list more of once (even when anonymous users added them back), and many of them were added by me. Now, I don't know if adding those people was wheter or not an act of vandalism: according my humble point of view, I think it was more an act of vandalism deleting them all those times from that list. So, what do you think, Mr. @ Jkl2299:?
And, by the way, Merle Haggard died at the age of 79, not 73. Peace and love. AleCapHollywood ( talk), 10 April 2016
WP:FILMYEAR sets the rules for death lists and who should be included, and these entries appear to meet the guidelines. Edits are not vandalism just because other editors disagree with you or edit war, please read about assuming good faith and vandalism. You need to stop removing these entries for an arbitrary personal reason like "The list is long". If they fail the guidelines set forth in WP:FILMYEAR, that's a different story, but that does not appear to be the case here. -- ferret ( talk) 19:47, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Kid Bugs ( talk) 03:28, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
Captain America: Civil War opened on 2016-04-27 and has earned $224,300,000 as of 2016-05-02 per http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=marvel2016.htm on 2016-05-03. Even so, it shows an Opening date of 2016-05-06. It is on the top ten list and has not opened? The film currently directly below it on the list, Café Society, correctly shows it's release date as 2016-05-11 as that is when it opens at Cannes. It will not have domestic (North America) release until 2016-07-15.
Make up your minds how release dates will be handled. If editors cannot be bothered to check the guidelines for consistency, then lock the article and allow only certain editors to change it.
I can not think of a polite way to describe the "Year in film" articles, but I give up trying to do anything with them. The way they stand they should just be deleted since they are an embarrassment to Wikipedia and anyone who works on them. Kid Bugs ( talk) 22:29, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Monster Hunt is a 2015 movie. It may have opened in my regions in 2016, including the States, but it's initial worldwide release kicked off in 2015. Therefore, it's a movie from that year. Kinda the same as American Sniper counting as a 2014 film despite making 99% of its cash in 2015. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8A0:7456:4401:A4FB:3A87:DD36:EC49 ( talk) 15:00, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi, sorry to ask but I was wondering if Godzilla Resurgence should be included as there are other foreign movies (Bollywood) included as well as those from Hollywood - /info/en/?search=Godzilla_Resurgence - RVDDP2501 ( talk) 02:31, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
Why is China gross numbers being included with Chinese currency? This page is for American film market. Western films. Not foreign markets and all grosses are in American money even from other countries. The grosses are always reported with American currency. The paragraph under the milestones paragraph should be removed. The Mermaid movie should be removed to. This page is for western movies. Most have not even heard of Mermaid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.126.106.149 ( talk) 03:50, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
But thats what the Box Office is. Western movies have theirs. Bollywood has theirs.I would not think a movie being released in a few select westerns theaters now has its entire box office counted on the list. That makes no sense. I have looked at this page for more than 10 years and suddnly a foreign movie is listed. Who decides that the parameters of this list have changed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.126.106.149 ( talk) 06:27, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
Kid Bugs bulk of the films are American with some British, Australian and Canadian films so American films would not be wrong though I am only looking at Western Box office. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.126.106.149 ( talk) 06:29, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
Zootopia, The Lion King, and Finding Nemo are original animated movies. Finding Nemo is original and Zootopia is original. Isn't The Lion King an original animated film? Shouldn't it be Zootopia passed The Lion King as the highest-grossing animated original film? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.81.58.55 ( talk) 16:34, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
Why does this page (and similar pages for other years) have America centric view? This page is not called "2016 in American films", then why are releases only from America are included in this page? 122.171.79.8 ( talk) 04:51, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
I do not see this title listed under August releases. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8805:102:B400:2D54:EF9A:271C:5085 ( talk) 08:30, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

The "Cafe Society" title appears twice. 1 need to be removed, but I don't know which. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qoushik ( talk • contribs) 17:26, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
Several anonymous accounts (including 2600:100D:B107:BD0A:4009:A16B:1DF:1327 and 71.81.58.55) have been adding extremely detailed (yet unsourced) listings of which films have reached $1 billion and the order in which they did this:
Captain America: Civil War, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Finding Dory, and Zootopia grossed more than $1 billion each, making them the 25th, 28th, 27th, and 26th films, respectively, to reach the billion dollar mark and the 14th, 22nd, 25th, and 28th highest-grossing films of all time; the latter two are also the fifth and fourth animated films, respectively, to reach the mark following Toy Story 3 (2010), Frozen (2013), and Minions (2015). Finding Dory became the second Pixar film (after Toy Story 3) to earn over $1 billion, while Zootopia became the second Walt Disney Animation Studios film (after Frozen) and the second original film (after Avatar) to reach the mark, as the 4th and 5th highest-grossing animated films of all time; this marks the first time that two animated films grossed over $1 billion in a single year.
Aside from being overlong (that paragraph consists of only two sentences), I don't think that there is sufficient interest in the order in which films reached $1 billion to include it here. Also, just listing them piecemeal ("the 25th, 28th, 27th, and 26th films") doesn't help in parsing the sentence. This would be far more suitable in an article listing all of the films grossing at least $1 billion than than being shoehorned in bits into the years in film articles.
Anyone else have thoughts on this? Trivialist ( talk) 02:47, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
I say this stays here. Also Zootopia and Finding Dory are involved in Highest-grossing animated films. That stays as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.174.134.158 ( talk) 16:25, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
The information of the films that reached $1 billion has been around for a while even without sources. And that Trivia guy took down the highest-grossing animated film part. Dory is the 4th highest-grossing animated film and Zootopia is the 5th. Someone put the highest-grossing animated film part back. It's also important.
"being around for a while even without sources" doesn't mean that it gets to stay. I mean it needs sources or it will be deleted. Also, you still haven't explained why it should be included, other than saying it's "important", and you're the only user (re)adding the info. Trivialist ( talk) 01:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
Everything was fine until you took it down. We still need the info of the highest-grossing animated films bit. Zootopia and Finding Dory are involved with it and you keep taking down the info.

Zootopia and Finding Dory deserved to have their ranks from the highest-grossing animated films. Like Zootopia is the 5th highest-grossing animated film and Finding Dory is the 4th highest-grossing animated film. That info is useful.
/info/en/?search=List_of_highest-grossing_animated_films Zootopia became the 4th animated film and is ranked the 5th highest and Finding Dory became the 5th and is ranked the 4th highest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.81.58.55 ( talk) 00:32, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
It is important to follow the guideline that other articles about years in films. WP:FILMYEAR We need to put these films in earliest release date, whether it be at a film festival, a world premiere, a public release, or the release in the country or countries that produced the film, excluding sneak previews or screenings.

The "Cafe Society" title appears twice. 1 need to be removed, but I don't know which. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qoushik ( talk • contribs) 17:26, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
Several anonymous accounts (including 2600:100D:B107:BD0A:4009:A16B:1DF:1327 and 71.81.58.55) have been adding extremely detailed (yet unsourced) listings of which films have reached $1 billion and the order in which they did this:
Captain America: Civil War, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Finding Dory, and Zootopia grossed more than $1 billion each, making them the 25th, 28th, 27th, and 26th films, respectively, to reach the billion dollar mark and the 14th, 22nd, 25th, and 28th highest-grossing films of all time; the latter two are also the fifth and fourth animated films, respectively, to reach the mark following Toy Story 3 (2010), Frozen (2013), and Minions (2015). Finding Dory became the second Pixar film (after Toy Story 3) to earn over $1 billion, while Zootopia became the second Walt Disney Animation Studios film (after Frozen) and the second original film (after Avatar) to reach the mark, as the 4th and 5th highest-grossing animated films of all time; this marks the first time that two animated films grossed over $1 billion in a single year.
Aside from being overlong (that paragraph consists of only two sentences), I don't think that there is sufficient interest in the order in which films reached $1 billion to include it here. Also, just listing them piecemeal ("the 25th, 28th, 27th, and 26th films") doesn't help in parsing the sentence. This would be far more suitable in an article listing all of the films grossing at least $1 billion than than being shoehorned in bits into the years in film articles.
Anyone else have thoughts on this? Trivialist ( talk) 02:47, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
I say this stays here. Also Zootopia and Finding Dory are involved in Highest-grossing animated films. That stays as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.174.134.158 ( talk) 16:25, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
The information of the films that reached $1 billion has been around for a while even without sources. And that Trivia guy took down the highest-grossing animated film part. Dory is the 4th highest-grossing animated film and Zootopia is the 5th. Someone put the highest-grossing animated film part back. It's also important.
"being around for a while even without sources" doesn't mean that it gets to stay. I mean it needs sources or it will be deleted. Also, you still haven't explained why it should be included, other than saying it's "important", and you're the only user (re)adding the info. Trivialist ( talk) 01:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
Everything was fine until you took it down. We still need the info of the highest-grossing animated films bit. Zootopia and Finding Dory are involved with it and you keep taking down the info.

Zootopia and Finding Dory deserved to have their ranks from the highest-grossing animated films. Like Zootopia is the 5th highest-grossing animated film and Finding Dory is the 4th highest-grossing animated film. That info is useful.
/info/en/?search=List_of_highest-grossing_animated_films Zootopia became the 4th animated film and is ranked the 5th highest and Finding Dory became the 5th and is ranked the 4th highest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.81.58.55 ( talk) 00:32, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
It is important to follow the guideline that other articles about years in films. WP:FILMYEAR We need to put these films in earliest release date, whether it be at a film festival, a world premiere, a public release, or the release in the country or countries that produced the film, excluding sneak previews or screenings.
