Why are we using nominal dollars?

[edit]

Instead of real dollars (dollars adjusted for inflation)? Most useful charts I see outside of Wikipedia use real dollars, because of course. Otherwise your chart is a chart of inflation, to a fair degree, and this is misleading the reader. Herostratus (talk) 02:00, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You make good points, but whilst charts adjusted for inflation exist at country level (e.g. United States/United Kingdom) it is notoriously difficult to do at worldwide level where inflation varies from country to country. It is further complicated by the fact that some films (especially the Disney ones) have accumulated box-office across several releases, so it is virtually impossible to do unless you have a "seed" list like at List_of_highest-grossing_films#Highest-grossing_films_adjusted_for_inflation.

Frozen why?

[edit]

Can somebody explain me with details. What is wrong in Frozen gross in BOM? I don't understand Pieryknik (talk) 21:39, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason Box Office Mojo stopped updating the total while it was still playing in some territories. Even though it was 10 years ago I remember the incident well, because it caused us a massive problem at the time. We were watching it wracking up millions in Japan and German and yet the worldwide total just wasn't going up! We don't really know how much it ultimately grossed, but we do know it grossed more than what BOM have it down for, and we do know it grossed at least $1,290 million during its original (as opposed to $1,280 million) based on the individual tracked territories. It should be noted that The Numbers stopped tracking it even earlier than BOM, and has the gross at $1,271 million. Box Office Mojo also states that it grossed a further $24 million during a 2023 re-issue in Australia. This is not correct and is a symptom of the BOM double-counting issue; Frozen grossed $22.5 million during its original release, and BOM has included the original gross in the reissue gross. Ergo, the re-release gross was actually more like $2 million, rather than $24 million. Based on my estimates, Frozen ultimately finished just a whisker off $1.3 billion.

Actually on BOM Frozen have$1,306,450,154. Maybe they was repaired? Pieryknik (talk) 11:45, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The $1,306m figure is a result of double-counting Australia's original release gross. It made $22.5 million on its original release in Australia. BOM then counts this gross again in the 2023 re-release, which is incorrect. So there are two problems going on here: i) BOM under-reported the original gross by around $10 million; ii) it then double-counted Australia's $22.5 million original release gross. Therefore it is over-shooting by about $12; if you deduct that figure from the worldwide total that would put the proper gross at around $1,294m give or take.

New Section

[edit]

There should be a new section for non English films. Keeping comment short, but shall help in building it. 𝓔xclusive𝓔ditor Ping Me🔔 06:39, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This list covers worldwide charts only. Non-English films are included already. Betty Logan (talk) 07:00, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
