We already have the data here (we only need to add the last two movies), and this is from another page--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 12:26, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now we have the right one--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 12:47, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

† Background shading indicates that at least one film in the series is playing in the week commencing 12 April 2024 in theaters around the world.[edit]

Consider that eg a James Bond film is showing at https://princecharlescinema.com/PrinceCharlesCinema.dll/Seasons?e=29205568 - seems that this may never be totally accurate. 90.251.159.52 (talk) 09:10, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The highlighting is mainly functional. It lets readers know that a total hasn't been finalised, and it helps editors keep track of what needs to be updated. It's very unlikely that a box-office tracker will track a one-off screening, but if these are treated as films in release by Box Office Mojo or the Numbers or some other tracker then we will highlight them accordingly.

Titanic Numbers[edit]

There are no sources given for the notes on the "incorrect" numbers for Titanic. Without any kind of source, the entire thing is Original Research and should be removed. 128.151.71.8 (talk) 17:45, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am counting six sources. Please can you be a bit more specific? Betty Logan (talk) 00:56, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
