The article is currently blocked for editting. Therefore, could someone with access rights change the wording of the Box office section. This because it is focused on the US: 'The film opened in two cinemas in the United States and grossed $14,646. It ended up grossing $145,511 in North America and $1,306,588 internationally for a total of $1,452,099.' Note:

- as a non-US film means it is inappropriate to focus of the US box office.

- the very limited release, and small takings, in the US also means it is inappropriate to focus on the US box office.

- splitting the world simply as 'North America' and 'internationally' is insulting, inappropriate for both a UK film and an article on the WORLD Wide Web. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.116.182.211 (talk) 15:14, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm quite sure James Simon is the downtrodden one the the film begins with and Simon James is his eccentric doppleganger. No good at referencing but there it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.212.15 (talk) 22:46, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Double (Dostoevsky novel)#Adaptations says that the novella "was adapted into an English play of the same name, which was later adapted into [this film]". But this article doesn't mention the play at all. Who wrote the adaptation? Where and when did it play? -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 14:49, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As the page is locked for editing please could somone with access rights edit to remove an egregious UC-centric edit, which is 'The film opened in two cinemas in the United States and grossed $14,646. It ended up grossing $145,511 in North America and $1,306,588 internationally for a total of $1,452,099.:

• It is a British film, and so:

- starting with the US (where it had a very small release) is in appropriate.

- the gross from one area, North America, is listed before the total. The latter is more notable, and should take precedence.

- the use of 'international' to describe non-North American revenue is wrong for a British film.

- the international revenue is far greater than that from thehighlighted small area.

- splitting the World into two grotesquely uneven parts (North Ameria, and everywhere else) is small-minded, parochialism of the highest order.

• And this should be a globally-focused encyclopaedia on the WORLD Wide Web, and so such parochial writing should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.174.124.67 (talk) 20:52, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
