Talk:List of highest-grossing films

error in Batman series grosses

The listed gross don't add up correctly for the Batman franchise, but I can't spot the error. TdanTce (talk) 20:27, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Several of the numbers added in the source to get the total are different from the displayed numbers. The largest difference is The Dark Knight with 1,004,558,444 in the addition but 1,005,973,645 displayed. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:51, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Is it possible to added a inflation column tp the First list for example — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.236.253.249 (talk) 00:52, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

There is literally no point to this. We have a separate table adjusted for inflation in the section below. Betty Logan (talk) 14:42, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Betty Logan is correct, there doesn't seem to be a point to this as inflation is addressed already. On second look, does that cover what you're looking for? Or are you seeking something else? In that case you will have to clarify. - wolf 05:33, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

I guess I mean this was just a suggestion 92.236.253.249 (talk) 08:25, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Shaolin Temple

Back in the 1980s, Shaolin Temple was reported to have sold over 300 million tickets in China and grossed over 160 million yuan (about $85 million at the time). Several Chinese sources in recent years have estimated its inflation-adjusted gross to be around 30-40 billion yuan ($4-5 billion) based on current Chinese ticket prices, such as Tencent QQ News and Sohu for example. Should this be added to the inflation-adjusted list, or mentioned somewhere in the article? It's worth noting that there were also several other films that reportedly sold 300M+ tickets in China during the late 1970s to early 1980s, when there was a box office boom after the Cultural Revolution ended. Maestro2016 (talk) 18:45, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Those sources are next to worthless. They are just guess work and supposition. Since 1987, ¥100 in 1987 is worth ¥467.65 in 2022. So ¥160 million in 1987 would be worth ¥750 million in 2022 i.e. $117 million at the current exchange rate of ¥6.4 to $1. However, 1987 doesn't go back quite far enough: the Yuan experienced 60% inflation between 1987 and 1992, so let's say it experienced something similar between 1982 and 1987: that would take the inflated gross to ¥1,200 million ($187 million).

Perhaps monetary inflation is not the best way to assess its inflated gross? According to Shaolin Temple (1982 film) it had 300 million admissions. At today's prices that would be equivalent to ¥12 billion (at ¥40 per ticket), which would be equivalent to $1.875 billion.

You can't adjust a gross by comparing it to the cost of rice, as those articles do. You need to stick to economic data, such as a nationally accepted inflation index. AT best it did Spider-Man money. Betty Logan (talk) 20:07, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

According to Guancha (which cites a bunch of older Chinese sources from the 1980s) the 300M tickets figure is a minimum, as that's what was reported for only urban areas. Guancha estimates a further 100M tickets for rural areas (400M tickets total), while there are other Chinese sources that estimate as high as 500M tickets (like this book). Presumably, the ¥30B+ ($4B+) inflation estimates from QQ News and Sohu are derived from the higher-end 500M ticket estimates. But if we go with the lower-end 300M tickets figure, then you're right that it would be less than $2B (i.e. Spider-Man ball park) at current Chinese ticket prices. Of course, this is based on film ticket price inflation and not currency inflation, as Chinese film ticket prices inflated at a significantly higher rate than the yuan currency. Maestro2016 (talk) 04:18, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

The problem here though is that if you adjusted 500 million admissions by the modern Chinese ticket prices you'd get over $3 billion, which is clearly anomalous. It simply doesn't work like that on an economic level because it doesn't account for affordability. Despite the fact there are many more theaters in China today, their films still can't hit $1 billion, let alone $3 billion. By the same token, if you put Chinese ticket prices up from ¥40 to ¥400 then far fewer people would buy a ticket i.e. to put it another way, Wolf Warrior 2 wouldn't have grossed $8 billion. Betty Logan (talk) 11:16, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

That's a fair point. A big reason why some Chinese films were able to get such high ticket sales back then was because the tickets were so cheap (same could be said for Indian and Soviet movies to a certain extent). Chinese films today like Wolf Warrior 2 wouldn't be able to pull off those same ticket sales numbers at much higher ticket prices compared to back then. Still, I think it's worth mentioning Shaolin Temple in the article just for the high ticket sales. Maestro2016 (talk) 12:30, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

This is already covered at List of films by box office admissions. Betty Logan (talk) 14:36, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Godzilla

talk

Looks like Godzilla (franchise) has passed Iron Man in total box office gross. Godzilla is now at $2.429 billion, passing Iron Man's $2.424 billion. I think Godzilla should be added to the list now. Maestro2016 (talk) 16:29, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Godzilla is at $2.393 billion--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 16:50, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

@Betty Logan:, sorry for the question, but why in the Godzilla tracker we are at $2.393 billion but in the Godzilla franchise page we are at $2.431 billion? (If you know the answer)--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 17:00, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

That's an incomplete figure. When that number was calculated last year, there was a lack of sources giving complete numbers for various older Godzilla movies. For example, a number of films only included distributor rentals (a fraction of the gross) rather than total gross, and there were no overseas numbers included for a number of movies. There are now more complete numbers listed at Godzilla (franchise)#Box office performance, with some recently added newspapers (from the '80s and '90s) giving more complete figures for some of the older Godzilla movies. Some movies still have incomplete numbers, but the list is certainly more complete now than that older list from the archives. Maestro2016 (talk) 17:05, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

We need to review the figures and sources first, to make sure they are properly sourced. The last time I checked the franchise page there were some very dodgy sources in use. If you could list the films in the tracker that need updating then that would help. Betty Logan (talk) 18:50, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Here is one example of the problem with that table in the franchise page. It estimates box-office from admissions and arrives at a figure of $295,638,492 for the first 13 Godzilla films. On the other hand Forbes states the first 13 films grossed $293.6 million. I make no jugdement about the accuracy of either, but one of those figures is reliably sourced and the other is original research. Betty Logan (talk) 19:08, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Looking at the tracker list, two examples that need to be updated:

• Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993) - $36,000,000
  • "Godzilla about to return to old stomping grounds". Elyria Chronicle Telegram. 1994-07-29. p. 17. Retrieved 2022-04-07 – via NewspaperArchive. Last year's Godzilla vs. Mecha-Godzilla brought in $36 million at the box office and generated another $158 million in related sales of books and merchandise — huge numbers for the Japanese entertainment industry.
• Godzilla (2014) - $529,076,069
  • "Godzilla (2014)". The Numbers. Retrieved March 13, 2020.

Maestro2016 (talk) 19:29, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

I agree that Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II should be updated with the actual box-office figure. However, Box Office Mojo has Godzilla (2014) at $524 million. I see no reason to assume The Numbers is correct in this case, and we defer to Box Office Mojo on this page unless there is a good reason for using another source. Betty Logan (talk) 19:35, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

OK, I have just checked the BOM archives and the old figure matches the figure at The Numbers. In this case I agree we should go with the $529 figure until we can find out why BOM changed the gross. Betty Logan (talk) 19:43, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Now we are at $2.415 billion, there is something else to update?--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 20:09, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

The Forbes ref noted above is unreliable per WP:RSP. - wolf 00:55, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

There are alternative sources for the foreign gross ($130 million). Are there any alternative reliable sources for the domestic gross of the first 13 Godzilla films? By reliable, I mean without editors estimating the gross based on admissions and then converting into US dollars? Betty Logan (talk) 01:46, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

There's this source which states that the first 13 films grossed $130M overseas and more than $130M in Japan:

• Parish, James Robert; Pitts, Michael R. (1977). The Great Science Fiction Pictures. Scarecrow Press. pp. 150 & 152. ISBN 9780810810297. Godzilla is Japan's greatest and most popular screen monster: a 400-foot tall prehistorical reptile. He has become a legend in his time. In thirteen film appearances to date he has grossed over $130 million outside Japan; the Japanese domestic grosses swell that sum vastly. [...] The beast's most recent screen appearance — this time in a speaking role — was in Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973) in which he and a man-made robot defeat Megalon and its ally, Gigan.

Maestro2016 (talk) 02:01, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Where does it say that the first 13 films grossed over $130 million in Japan? The source clearly says that the films grossed $130 million "outside Japan". I think it's a good bet that they did but we need a reliable source to actually state that. Betty Logan (talk) 02:46, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

The source says that "the Japanese domestic grosses swell that sum vastly" implying that it grossed more than $130M in Japan. Maestro2016 (talk) 04:00, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

That does not imply it grossed more than $130 million. It could easily mean $200 million or $100 million. What that implies is that the author did not know the figure, but he assumes it is a substantial sum. Betty Logan (talk) 07:06, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Betty Logan: After some looking around, I've found a source that states the Godzilla films had grossed $500 million by 1986:

• Schil, Charlie (7 May 1986). "Godzilla's back—older, fatter and still flaky". Pacific Stars and Stripes. p. 25. Retrieved 14 April 2022 – via NewspaperArchive. With the exception of Dr. Frankenstein's creature and King Kong, Godzilla is probably the most enduring and profitable monster of filmdom. He's appeared in at least a dozen movies over three decades and they've grossed an incredible half-billion dollars.

Now that we finally have a total gross for the earlier films up until 1986, I think it's safe to say that Godzilla has definitely surpassed Iron Man. Maestro2016 (talk) 06:59, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

I think it's always been a given, we just needed to locate a for source it. I will sort it out over the weekend. Don't use the chart below; it appears to be missing large sums of money. I have one in my sandbox that I will update and then add to the table. Betty Logan (talk) 13:30, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

We have the Godzilla tracker from a previous discussion--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 14:31, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

That's an older version. In some cases the rentals have been replaced by box-office grosses. The most recent version is here: User:Betty Logan/Sandbox/templates/t4. Betty Logan (talk) 14:46, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

I have updated the Godzilla tracker (the table below) some days ago, and it's the same table you have in your sandbox, the only difference is that you forgot to move Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993) to the top of the "Heisei Era", as you can see in the table below :)--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 16:28, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Here a box office chart for Godzilla franchise 92.236.253.249 (talk) 11:37, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

I have updated the table--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 14:33, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

I have incorporated the new figures. As explained in the sources, I have taken the half billy as the Showa gross. If you subtract the gross for Return of Godzilla/Godzilla 1985 ($15 million) and add in the reissue gross for the original film and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (which comes to about $14.6 million) it more or less evens out. I don't think we have to worry about a few hundred thousand dollars when the rounding is done to half a billion. Unless there is anything else to correct then we can probably transfer this table in. Betty Logan (talk) 07:15, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the update @Betty Logan:, but I have a question: now we are at 2.567 billion, but in the Godzilla franchise page there is 2.571 billion, why?--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 13:03, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Different sources may have been used leading to variations, but in others the figures at the franchise page don't always match the sources. For example, the gross for Godzilla 2000 is sourced to Toho Kingdom which has the gross at $25 million (matching the figure here), but the franchise table has it listed as $27.9 million. We shouldn't worry about being just a few million out. The reality is that given how inexact the older figures are the most realistic outcome is to pin down the total within $100 million. Betty Logan (talk) 14:20, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Ok, so the table below is correct? Can we update the "Highest-grossing franchises and film series" table or there is something else to update/fix?--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 14:29, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

I think it's ready, but let's wait until tomorrow in case anybody else wants to raise an issue or has a suggestion. Betty Logan (talk) 14:39, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Could some update the main Godzilla the page with this info 92.236.253.249 (talk) 08:20, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

James Bond

Can someone tell me why No Time To Die is still listed as "in theaters". And if so, can you please provide a source showing it is still in theaters. Otherwise it should not be listed as so. Zvig47 (talk) 18:54, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

The movie is still in theaters in Australia--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 18:56, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Suggestion

Can we add 'peak' list in section of Highest grossing movie franchises? 223.236.88.47 (talk) 19:12, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately it is not something we able to source. Betty Logan (talk) 15:26, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

MonsterVerse

Out of curiosity, why is Godzilla vs. Kong listed separately from the other MonsterVerse films in the Godzilla entry? I was going to change it but I thought there might have been a reason. TdanTce (talk) 15:21, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

I have no idea! I would suggest leaving your question up for 24 hours and if nobody provides a valid reason then we should assume it is a mistake and group it with the other two. Betty Logan (talk) 15:25, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

This was the edit made by an IP--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 16:00, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

It doesn't look like there is an identifiable "main" series for Godzilla in the Monsterverse. It looks like the plan from the start was to have the monsters appear together. I would suggest remerging the films, and if a clear Godzilla strand materialises down the line then we can re-think the approach. Betty Logan (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Done! TdanTce (talk) 02:09, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

This needs to be updated because of No Way Home

Under the “Highest grossing franchises and film series” section, at the end of the last paragraph it says “The four Avengers films and the two Frozen films are the only franchises where each installment has grossed over $1 billion. Along with Jurassic Park and The Lion King, these are also the only franchises to have a series average of over $1 billion per film.”

But the MCU Spider-Man trilogy also has an average of over $1 billion, even though Homecoming only made $880 million. 2600:1011:B13A:63C:59A5:4C9:6847:A944 (talk) 15:01, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

The MCU Spider-Man trilogy is not a franchise; as a whole the franchise does not average $1 billion. The situation you describe is no different to the Star Wars sequel trilogy, or Phase 3 of the MCU, and we don't single those out. Betty Logan (talk) 15:12, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Morbius needs to be added to the list 1plus1is11 (talk) 20:08, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. MadGuy7023 (talk) 20:20, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

 Not done (edit conflict) @1plus1is11: Morbius hasn't made enough money to be listed anywhere. It was already added to the franchise table, but only as a matter of course. If you want another result, you will need to be more specific and include sourcing. - wolf 20:27, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Question about a sentence in the lede

Besides the Star Wars and Superman franchises, James Bond and Star Trek films are still being released periodically; all four are among the highest-grossing franchises. I'm having trouble understanding this, is there any difference between Star Wars/Superman and James Bond/Star Trek? It feels quite awkward and tripped me up for a bit while reading it, what's the difference between the first group of two and the second group? I didn't want to just WP:BOLDly rewrite it because this is an WP:ECP WP:FL and because I might be missing something. But perhaps it should read simply The Star Wars, Superman, James Bond, and Star Trek films are still being released periodically; all four are among the highest-grossing franchises.? Leijurv (talk) 17:54, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Star Wars and Superman are both mentioned in the preceding paragraph of the WP:LEAD, whereas this is the first mention of both James Bond and Star Trek. That's also why the latter two are linked but the former two are not. TompaDompa (talk) 20:34, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

In my judgement, those mentions are too far away for this strange sentence construction to make sense. Just my opinion - I don't think it's actually grammatically incorrect or anything, just awkward. Leijurv (talk) 22:04, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Like any section, the lead is supposed to be read as a whole, and the "besides" helps the paragraph follow on smoothly from the preceding paragraphs. Betty Logan (talk) 01:32, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Duplicate in Godzilla section

In the franchise list under "Godzilla", Godzilla vs. Megalon is listed twice, while Godzilla Raids Again isn't listed.67.173.23.66 (talk) 01:32, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

I think it's just a good old fashioned error so I have fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out! Betty Logan (talk) 01:43, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Inhumans IMAX screening add to MCU Box office?

Inhumans's first 2 episodes were screened for 2 weeks in Imax and grossed 3.5 million dollars [Source: https://deadline.com/2017/10/imax-marvel-inhumans-experiment-1202196112/] and should be included in the overall total. Maybe have a TV shows section for it so it could also include the Ms. Marvel theatrical screening that will happen in Pakistan. 2600:1702:3D20:E1C0:C437:399A:E913:D0E4 (talk) 02:43, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
