Regarding the highest grossing franchise tab- Actually Pokemon is the highest grossing Media franchise in the world,I think the tab's suitable name should be highest grossing film franchises that way it should avoid confusion. Mr TOTEM ( talk) 17:29, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

template. All of the franchises listed are multi-media franchises, so your proposed alteration would not be factually correct. It's a table that logs films, in an article about films, I don't think it's necessary to treat readers like idiots.

There are conflicting numbers for the final gross of the original Jurassic Park film, none of which that I can find that still have $1.034 billion as the number. The Numbers lists it as $1.045 billion while box office mojo incorrectly lists it as $1.099 billion. Would like to know why the total isn’t being updated to the seemingly correct total provided by The Numbers. Zvig47 ( talk) 21:00, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Release | Old BOM | New BOM | The Numbers | BBC | Other sources |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1993 | $912,667,947 | $978,167,947 | $923,067,947 | $913,000,000 | $913,000,000 |
2011 | $786,021 ($913,453,968) | $786,021 ($978,953,968) | $796,037 ( $923,863,984) | — | — |
2013 | $118,192,315 ($1,031,646,283) | $118,192,315 ($1,097,146,283) | $114,948,600 ( $1,038,812,584) | — | — |
2018 | $374,238 ($1,032,020,521) | $374,238 ($1,097,520,521) | $6,815,043 ( $1,045,627,627) | — | — |
2020 | $1,907,782 ($1,033,928,303) | $1,907,782 ($1,099,428,303) | $−54,592 ( $1,045,573,035) | — | — |
2022 | — | $270,700 ($1,099,699,003) | $0 ( $1,045,573,035) | — | — |
So by studying the table above we can conclude the following:
Neither data source is ideal, but if you click on the source used in the article you will see that we use the figure from the older version of BOM and add in the 2022 reissue separately. That is the best we can do now, given the problems that both sources have. Betty Logan ( talk) 00:55, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
The film's gross hasn’t changed since the end of June. Is it safe to say that the film has finished its original box office run? It’s returning to theaters in September, but I think it's safe to say the film is finished for now. Thoughts? Zvig47 ( talk) 18:45, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

I have a proposal, but I’d like to gauge your opinion before going through what may be a laborious task.
My basic idea is this: Convert the tables to include inflation-adjusted figures as well as a ratio column to show how many dollars were grossed for every dollar spent creating the movie. I have a demonstration page on the Wiki page for James Bond movies.

The figure for Philosopher's Stone in the Highest-grossing franchises and film series section ($1.022bn) is inconsistent with the figure given in the main list ($1.007bn) and should be corrected to what the figure is on the main list. It looks like the $1.022bn figure from Box Office Mojo is incorrectly counting (and subsequently inflating) grosses for certain countries during the 2021 re-release.

It seems disingenuous to include Venom, Venom 2, and Morbius to boost Spider-Man to the #3 highest grossing franchise spot when Spider-Man appears in neither of these three films. By this logic, the Punish films should be included in the total gross since the character had its origin as a Spider-Man antagonist. It would make more sense, for example, to include Avengers movies in Thor's franchise gross (I'm not suggesting this).
Shouldn't the Sony Universe be separated into its own category, as has been done for the Marvel and DC cinematic universes? For the moment, their relation to Spider-Man is tenuous at best. LiamTownsend ( talk) 01:08, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

On the main list, the current cap is set at 50 films. Any thoughts on perhaps changing that to films with a mimimum $1 Billion box office? (WW/USD) I don't think that films breaking that number are going to be coming rapidly, in significant numbers, but if we find the list growing too long too quickly, we can always go back to the set cap of 50 or so entries. It's just that, while 50 is a somewhat arbitrary number chosen by us, the billion dollar b.o. return is a significant milestone in the film industry, and right now, (and especially coming out of the pandemic) I think it's worthwhile including all films that achieve that number (with the caveat that the list doesn't grow too much, too fast). Thoughts? - wolf 09:28, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Actually, reading Betty's post, she (as usual) makes several good points. One significant take away is the size of this page; 316.5Kb! (and someone just cut 5.5kb off it today)... it's huuuge, and very likely to continue growing. It seems that what began as the title states, a list of highest grossing films, has grown into a comprehensive study of financing in the film industry over the last 100+ years. There was mention of creating a new page for a list of films with a billion dollar box office, but that would just be a duplication.
However, per WP: Article size, we should consider forking off some content and slimming this page down a little. If we went with the suggestion of the "list of films to make a billion dollars at the box office", then we would move the table out of this page, along with any supporting prose, and then rename this article. Or, we could move all five tables from here to a new page, and otherwise leave this article as is, with all the prose and links in place of each table directing readers to the appropriate location. This could help, considering the amount of content these tables currently hold.
While there's concern about allowing one table to grow a few entries longer than 50 over the new couple years, there's a table here with over 150+ enteies, that grows by one, if not three or four entries, enery year, and there'a a table with well over 300+ entries, and it will continue to grow as well. And then there's also the two smaller tables. Perhaps moving all five would be the best option. I'd be interested in seeing how many kb's the five are combined. But, I'm also interested to see what, if anything, any one here has to say on the matter. Goos day all - wolf 09:33, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Jurassic Park should be #30 (2022 re-release)
The Lion King (1994 version) should be #39 on the list, above Rogue One. That pushes out JW Dominion from the top 50.

With the confirmation that Jurassic World: Dominion reached the billion dollar benchmark today, we have now gotten to the point where every film on the “Top 50” scoreboard is now at the billion dollar mark.
However, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Avatar: The Way of Water are also likely to hit that billion dollar mark, at which point some of these billion dollar grossers will be booted from the list - with this in mind, should we create an additional page for films who have reached the billion dollar benchmark? 216.24.93.167 ( talk) 02:42, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi! I don't know if this will be useful but I frequently look and compare this list to the one on Box Office Mojo I've come to notice a lot of potential errors with their figures that have occurred recently. Here's what I found;
Spider-Man: No Way Home - $1,971,439,845 ($54,546,201 is listed as being part of a 2022 Australian re-release)
Black Panther - $1,382,248,826 ($34,650,853 is listed as being part of a 2020 South Korean re-release)
Beauty and the Beast - $1,305,611,599 ($9,151,657 is listed as being part of a 2020 United Kingdom re-release, $32,035,379 is listed as being part of a 2021 Australian re-release)
Frozen - $1,304,550,716 ($23,042,616 is listed as being part of a 2022 Australian re-release)
Jurassic Park - $1,109,802,321 (It seems that the original release's total has been increased from $912M to $978M, $10,103,318 is also listed as being part of a 2022 Netherlands release)
Joker - $1,104,943,613 ($30,485,331 is listed as being part of a 2022 Spanish re-release)
The Lion King (1994) - $1,063,611,805 (Like Jurassic Park, it seems the original total has been increased to $858M, from what I recall the original total is supposed to be around $768M)
Zootopia - $1,042,533,689 ($18,741,794 is listed as being part of a 2022 Australian re-release)
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - $1,023,842,938 (I'm not sure if this is valid or not but I brought it up before here, the total given is from a 2021 re-release comprising of Italy ($4,410,216), Netherlands ($4,328,645), United Kingdom ($1,698,396), and South Korea ($2,504,289). From my previous discussion it looked like the actual total should be $1.009bn).
It looks like the bulk of these issues are due to Box Office Mojo adding in totals for Australian re-releases, I didn't go into too much depth with the specifics of these inflated numbers but I'm guessing they're duplicated from their original gross.
There are also other box-office numbers that have lesser degrees of total inflation (<$10M), I originally wasn't going to list these but I figured I'd do it anyway;
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - $2,069,521,700 ($1,066,200 is listed as being part of a 2020 Australian re-release)
The Lion King (2019) - $1,663,250,487 ($5,020,760 is listed as being part of a 2020 United Kingdom re-release)
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - $1,058,682,142 ($1,261,755 is listed as being part of a 2022 Colombian re-release, although there was a re-release for the United States and Canada in August so this one could be valid).
I'm not 100% into the know-how of how box-office numbers work so all of this is gathered from surface-level details and my assumptions could be wrong. Regardless I do hope this helps for future reference.

The domestic gross seems to be fine, but there are two problems with the overseas gross: i) the foreign gross for the re-release seems to keep going up and down (it seems to be completely random); ii) the foreign gross for the original release seem to randomly jump from $1.096 billion to $1.102 billion (an increase of $6 million).
In the case of original overseas gross I am trying to work out if the extra $6 million is a correction or if BOM are double counting. Since the total worldwide figure is approximately $6 million higher than the figure at The Numbers I suspect BOM are double-counting. I am thinking perhaps that we should go with the gross at The Numbers for No Way Home because BOM doesn't seem to have a clue! Betty Logan ( talk) 04:35, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Both Box Office Mojo and The Numbers give a different gross for Titanic. Does anyone know why? That said The Numbers does have a lesser rate of error than BOM on average and in the case of Titanic, doesn't make mistakes in its calculations like BOM, though it's not as detailed regarding grosses in specific countries. Roman Reigns Fanboy ( talk) 01:38, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
As has been discussed before numerous times on here, Box Office Mojo has had an outstanding issue regarding Titanic's 2012 re-release. The figure for Box Office Mojo is $350,449,521, while this article uses the original $343,550,770 figure, as a result the film currently has a different ranked position here than on Box Office Mojo's all-time list; here Avatar 2 is listed as the third-highest grosser with Titanic ranked fourth, on BOM it's the opposite situation.
It's set in stone that the $343.6M figure is correct as the $6.9M was added on inexplicably years ago (it doesn't seem like it's going away anytime soon), and I think a note on this, like for Frozen, F8, and HP1, would help settle confusion with the discrepancy between this list and the list cited, and possible good faith edits from unknowing users. AverageLogic ( talk) 21:25, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
There's an argument about if Way Of Water or Maverick made more dosh. Couple edits have already been done, so take it here before it becomes edit war. One user says TGM should be above cos BoxOfficeMojo is otherwise used, and I get that. But the other is using The Hollywood Reporter, which is more reliable. So I think Avatar 2 should be above.

Currently both figures at Box Office Mojo and The Numbers show the film as having grossed $2,923,706,026. I don't know if this is a definitive or "correct" figure, but it is unusual that both use the exact same number, considering that for most figures in the top 50 have at least minor differences between the two sites.
I should note that BOM had a slightly higher figure at the beginning on November before setting it to the figure that is present on this list. AverageLogic ( talk) 02:09, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

This page is massive (323 KB), so maybe we can split the "highest-grossing franchises and film series" section in List of highest-grossing franchises and film series and remove from this page more than 50 KB, opinions?-- Luke Stark 96 ( talk) 00:17, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
This is a WP:Featured list precisely because it is comprehensive. Splitting off parts so it's less comprehensive doesn't seem like a particularly good idea to me [...] This isn't actually that big of an article; the byte size is large due to some rather hefty tables, but in terms of prose there is only about 4,000 words [...] Compare that to, say, Sinking of the Titanic (a WP:Featured article) which is at over 13,000 words. If we really want to reduce the size of this article in terms of bytes, my first suggestion would be to reduce the size of the tables that are longer than they need to be, i.e. the main table and the franchise table which could both do with fewer entries (say, top 25 films and top 10 franchises). In general, Wikipedia's box office coverage would benefit from focusing on a lower number of high-quality articles instead of the current approach with a large number of articles that we are unable to maintain to an acceptable standard (and which for the most part aren't particularly well-written to begin with).The main points still apply ( XTools now says roughly 3,800 words of prose).

I just saw the inflation-adjusted gross (2022 $) calculated for the movie Titanic here is $3,485,000,000.
If we use the inflation template: {{Inflation|index|value|start_year}} for all the releases individually and add the results, it returns a total value of $3,869,391,790:
Adjusted gross for original 1997 release: $3,498,740,900 + Adjusted gross for 2012 3D release: $455,943,013 + Adjusted gross for 2017 re-release: $859,717 + Adjusted gross for 2020 re-release: $84,004 + gross of the 2023 re-release without any adjustment: $70,157,472.
I think this calculation gives a more accurate inflation-adjusted gross. So I request other users to give their opinions as well. Thanks. Cinephile4ever 17:50, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Transformers is one series, albeit one with inconsistent continuity. It is strange that editors have broken it into subgroups. Can you please show your sources that prove these subgroups actually exist? (Reliable sources such as Deadline Hollywood call Rise of the Beasts Transformers 7. Producer Di Bonaventura declined to use the term "reboot" and Variety magazine noted the films "weren’t exactly sticklers for the laws of time and space, either".) Fans may argue about it and attempt to subgroup parts of the series but filmmakers have not done so, and reliable sources do not seem to support such subgrouping. I do not believe fancrufty subgroups are of any benefit and only add confusion to ordinary readers of this encyclopedia. Please present the Transformers series as one series, because that's what the facts actually support. -- 109.79.68.151 ( talk) 19:08, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

It seems disingenuous to include Venom, Venom 2, and Morbius to boost Spider-Man to the #3 highest grossing franchise spot when Spider-Man appears in neither of these three films. By this logic, the Punish films should be included in the total gross since the character had its origin as a Spider-Man antagonist. It would make more sense, for example, to include Avengers movies in Thor's franchise gross (I'm not suggesting this).

On the main list, the current cap is set at 50 films. Any thoughts on perhaps changing that to films with a mimimum $1 Billion box office? (WW/USD) I don't think that films breaking that number are going to be coming rapidly, in significant numbers, but if we find the list growing too long too quickly, we can always go back to the set cap of 50 or so entries. It's just that, while 50 is a somewhat arbitrary number chosen by us, the billion dollar b.o. return is a significant milestone in the film industry, and right now, (and especially coming out of the pandemic) I think it's worthwhile including all films that achieve that number (with the caveat that the list doesn't grow too much, too fast). Thoughts? - wolf 09:28, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Actually, reading Betty's post, she (as usual) makes several good points. One significant take away is the size of this page; 316.5Kb! (and someone just cut 5.5kb off it today)... it's huuuge, and very likely to continue growing. It seems that what began as the title states, a list of highest grossing films, has grown into a comprehensive study of financing in the film industry over the last 100+ years. There was mention of creating a new page for a list of films with a billion dollar box office, but that would just be a duplication.
However, per WP: Article size, we should consider forking off some content and slimming this page down a little. If we went with the suggestion of the "list of films to make a billion dollars at the box office", then we would move the table out of this page, along with any supporting prose, and then rename this article. Or, we could move all five tables from here to a new page, and otherwise leave this article as is, with all the prose and links in place of each table directing readers to the appropriate location. This could help, considering the amount of content these tables currently hold.
While there's concern about allowing one table to grow a few entries longer than 50 over the new couple years, there's a table here with over 150+ enteies, that grows by one, if not three or four entries, enery year, and there'a a table with well over 300+ entries, and it will continue to grow as well. And then there's also the two smaller tables. Perhaps moving all five would be the best option. I'd be interested in seeing how many kb's the five are combined. But, I'm also interested to see what, if anything, any one here has to say on the matter. Goos day all - wolf 09:33, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Jurassic Park should be #30 (2022 re-release)
The Lion King (1994 version) should be #39 on the list, above Rogue One. That pushes out JW Dominion from the top 50.

With the confirmation that Jurassic World: Dominion reached the billion dollar benchmark today, we have now gotten to the point where every film on the “Top 50” scoreboard is now at the billion dollar mark.
However, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Avatar: The Way of Water are also likely to hit that billion dollar mark, at which point some of these billion dollar grossers will be booted from the list - with this in mind, should we create an additional page for films who have reached the billion dollar benchmark? 216.24.93.167 ( talk) 02:42, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi! I don't know if this will be useful but I frequently look and compare this list to the one on Box Office Mojo I've come to notice a lot of potential errors with their figures that have occurred recently. Here's what I found;
Spider-Man: No Way Home - $1,971,439,845 ($54,546,201 is listed as being part of a 2022 Australian re-release)
Black Panther - $1,382,248,826 ($34,650,853 is listed as being part of a 2020 South Korean re-release)
Beauty and the Beast - $1,305,611,599 ($9,151,657 is listed as being part of a 2020 United Kingdom re-release, $32,035,379 is listed as being part of a 2021 Australian re-release)
Frozen - $1,304,550,716 ($23,042,616 is listed as being part of a 2022 Australian re-release)
Jurassic Park - $1,109,802,321 (It seems that the original release's total has been increased from $912M to $978M, $10,103,318 is also listed as being part of a 2022 Netherlands release)
Joker - $1,104,943,613 ($30,485,331 is listed as being part of a 2022 Spanish re-release)
The Lion King (1994) - $1,063,611,805 (Like Jurassic Park, it seems the original total has been increased to $858M, from what I recall the original total is supposed to be around $768M)
Zootopia - $1,042,533,689 ($18,741,794 is listed as being part of a 2022 Australian re-release)
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - $1,023,842,938 (I'm not sure if this is valid or not but I brought it up before here, the total given is from a 2021 re-release comprising of Italy ($4,410,216), Netherlands ($4,328,645), United Kingdom ($1,698,396), and South Korea ($2,504,289). From my previous discussion it looked like the actual total should be $1.009bn).
It looks like the bulk of these issues are due to Box Office Mojo adding in totals for Australian re-releases, I didn't go into too much depth with the specifics of these inflated numbers but I'm guessing they're duplicated from their original gross.
There are also other box-office numbers that have lesser degrees of total inflation (<$10M), I originally wasn't going to list these but I figured I'd do it anyway;
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - $2,069,521,700 ($1,066,200 is listed as being part of a 2020 Australian re-release)
The Lion King (2019) - $1,663,250,487 ($5,020,760 is listed as being part of a 2020 United Kingdom re-release)
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - $1,058,682,142 ($1,261,755 is listed as being part of a 2022 Colombian re-release, although there was a re-release for the United States and Canada in August so this one could be valid).
I'm not 100% into the know-how of how box-office numbers work so all of this is gathered from surface-level details and my assumptions could be wrong. Regardless I do hope this helps for future reference.

There seems to be something very odd going on with the Spider-Man:No Way Home grosses at Box Office Mojo. Here is how they have changed over the last few months:
Release | Current BOM | Archived BOM | The Numbers | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Jul 29 | Sep 20 | Sep 21 | Oct 8 | Oct 26 | Nov 18 | Nov 22 | Dec 11 | |||

Total (domestic) | $814,115,070 | $813,988,510 | $814,003,984 | $814,115,070 | $814,115,070 | $814,115,070 | $814,115,070 | $814,115,070 | $814,115,070 | |
Original release (overseas) | $1,101,900,000 | $1,096,439,073 | $1,101,900,000 | $1,101,900,000 | $1,101,900,000 | $1,101,900,000 | $1,101,900,000 | $1,101,900,000 | $1,101,900,000 | |
Re-release (overseas) | $291,925 | $13,202,672 | $35,841 | $4,603,764 | $878,574 | $55,424,775 | $291,925 | |||
Total (overseas) | $1,102,191,925 | $1,096,439,073 | $1,101,900,000 | $1,115,102,672 | $1,101,935,841 | $1,106,503,764 | $1,102,778,574 | $1,157,324,775 | $1,102,191,925 | $1,095,933,175 |
Total (worldwide) | $1,916,306,995 | $1,915,888,510 | $1,929,106,656 | $1,916,050,911 | $1,920,618,834 | $1,916,893,644 | $1,971,439,845 | $1,916,306,995 | $1,910,048,245 |
The domestic gross seems to be fine, but there are two problems with the overseas gross: i) the foreign gross for the re-release seems to keep going up and down (it seems to be completely random); ii) the foreign gross for the original release seem to randomly jump from $1.096 billion to $1.102 billion (an increase of $6 million).
In the case of original overseas gross I am trying to work out if the extra $6 million is a correction or if BOM are double counting. Since the total worldwide figure is approximately $6 million higher than the figure at The Numbers I suspect BOM are double-counting. I am thinking perhaps that we should go with the gross at The Numbers for No Way Home because BOM doesn't seem to have a clue! Betty Logan ( talk) 04:35, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
User:Luke Skywalker 96 why did you revert my edit without any proper explanation? The source clearly mentions the grosses from all re-releases. Simply leaving comments like it's an issue from the site isn't going to make anyone understand what the issue is.

Both Box Office Mojo and The Numbers give a different gross for Titanic. Does anyone know why? That said The Numbers does have a lesser rate of error than BOM on average and in the case of Titanic, doesn't make mistakes in its calculations like BOM, though it's not as detailed regarding grosses in specific countries. Roman Reigns Fanboy ( talk) 01:38, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
As has been discussed before numerous times on here, Box Office Mojo has had an outstanding issue regarding Titanic's 2012 re-release. The figure for Box Office Mojo is $350,449,521, while this article uses the original $343,550,770 figure, as a result the film currently has a different ranked position here than on Box Office Mojo's all-time list; here Avatar 2 is listed as the third-highest grosser with Titanic ranked fourth, on BOM it's the opposite situation.
It's set in stone that the $343.6M figure is correct as the $6.9M was added on inexplicably years ago (it doesn't seem like it's going away anytime soon), and I think a note on this, like for Frozen, F8, and HP1, would help settle confusion with the discrepancy between this list and the list cited, and possible good faith edits from unknowing users. AverageLogic ( talk) 21:25, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
There's an argument about if Way Of Water or Maverick made more dosh. Couple edits have already been done, so take it here before it becomes edit war. One user says TGM should be above cos BoxOfficeMojo is otherwise used, and I get that. But the other is using The Hollywood Reporter, which is more reliable. So I think Avatar 2 should be above.

Currently both figures at Box Office Mojo and The Numbers show the film as having grossed $2,923,706,026. I don't know if this is a definitive or "correct" figure, but it is unusual that both use the exact same number, considering that for most figures in the top 50 have at least minor differences between the two sites.
I should note that BOM had a slightly higher figure at the beginning on November before setting it to the figure that is present on this list. AverageLogic ( talk) 02:09, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

This is a WP:Featured list precisely because it is comprehensive. Splitting off parts so it's less comprehensive doesn't seem like a particularly good idea to me [...] This isn't actually that big of an article; the byte size is large due to some rather hefty tables, but in terms of prose there is only about 4,000 words [...] Compare that to, say, Sinking of the Titanic (a WP:Featured article) which is at over 13,000 words. If we really want to reduce the size of this article in terms of bytes, my first suggestion would be to reduce the size of the tables that are longer than they need to be, i.e. the main table and the franchise table which could both do with fewer entries (say, top 25 films and top 10 franchises). In general, Wikipedia's box office coverage would benefit from focusing on a lower number of high-quality articles instead of the current approach with a large number of articles that we are unable to maintain to an acceptable standard (and which for the most part aren't particularly well-written to begin with).The main points still apply ( XTools now says roughly 3,800 words of prose).

I just saw the inflation-adjusted gross (2022 $) calculated for the movie Titanic here is $3,485,000,000.
If we use the inflation template: {{Inflation|index|value|start_year}} for all the releases individually and add the results, it returns a total value of $3,869,391,790:
Adjusted gross for original 1997 release: $3,498,740,900 + Adjusted gross for 2012 3D release: $455,943,013 + Adjusted gross for 2017 re-release: $859,717 + Adjusted gross for 2020 re-release: $84,004 + gross of the 2023 re-release without any adjustment: $70,157,472.
I think this calculation gives a more accurate inflation-adjusted gross. So I request other users to give their opinions as well. Thanks. Cinephile4ever 17:50, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Is there a source that says that The Super Mario Bros Movie is still playing in theaters? List of American films of 2023 and 2023 in film both show that it isn’t. ~ Politicdude ( About me, talk, contribs) 16:21, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
I don't know exactly how much all the Godzilla films have grossed, but surely, if you combine both Legendary's and Toho's films, they should have made stacks of money. I could be wrong though 2A02:C7C:A4B6:1A00:A7D4:A31A:B9AE:EBC6 ( talk) 19:45, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Transformers is one series, albeit one with inconsistent continuity. It is strange that editors have broken it into subgroups. Can you please show your sources that prove these subgroups actually exist? (Reliable sources such as Deadline Hollywood call Rise of the Beasts Transformers 7. Producer Di Bonaventura declined to use the term "reboot" and Variety magazine noted the films "weren’t exactly sticklers for the laws of time and space, either".) Fans may argue about it and attempt to subgroup parts of the series but filmmakers have not done so, and reliable sources do not seem to support such subgrouping. I do not believe fancrufty subgroups are of any benefit and only add confusion to ordinary readers of this encyclopedia. Please present the Transformers series as one series, because that's what the facts actually support. -- 109.79.68.151 ( talk) 19:08, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Although most of this list is true, sorcerers stone surpassed unexpected journey in numbers because of its re-release, also jurassic park should be higher because of the consistent re-releases. I dont know about these ones but finding dory should be lower and toy story 4 should be 1 higher than rise of skywalker. 2601:300:4900:D6A0:E585:EA1:C8FA:5A64 ( talk) 00:07, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Is there a list of highest-grossing films that are not released or distributed by a major film studio (specifically a conglomerate's main film studio, like Warner Bros., Universal, Columbia, or Paramount)? If such a list were to include conglomerates' secondary or lesser studios (20th Century Fox/Studios, because it was a former major studio, wouldn't count), then it would be topped by The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (a New Line Cinema film).
