Just thought I'd ask this since cinemas are opening in the UK on August 21, with Inception and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World as headliners with new theatrical releases. Both originally ran in 2010, but the Odeon website etc. are treating the 2010 and the 10th anniversary releases as separate entities. I have no idea if this will mess with the BOM stats (almost certainly), and I thought I'd get the input here on if the new wide releases (likely the distinction from any old re-release) should be treated separately on WP. I might ask that second part at the film project, too. Kingsif (talk) 09:41, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Betty Logan Although there are numerous issues with the Box Office Mojo data, as it seems that you have highlighted some of their database issues and they have looked to fix them, I wonder whether you are able to raise another one with them. Someone just asked me about double features and I noticed per the Wikipedia article that Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were released as a double feature in October 2009. The reissue grossed $30.7 million in the US however, BOM currently allocates that gross solely to the original and only lists the original in its charts now. Previously they used to treat the double bill as a separate release. (https://web.archive.org/web/20111010081115/http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=toystory3d.htm) Wikipedia just parrots the data from BOM. Don't know if they can split the double bill gross (which is what I think Variety tended to do in these scenarios) or list it separately again so that it isn't all allocated to one film to the detriment of the other. I see that they have Spider-Man/Men In Black II as a double bill in 2002 and split the gross so looks like they should do similar for Toy Story. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl695436801/?ref_=bo_we_table_9.
