Table of Highest Grossing Films

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The two tables do not match much. The North American table is missing Thor: Dark World and the World Wide table is missing Shang Chi 73.220.109.60 (talk) 20:15, 26 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

That is intentional because these tables are reserved for the studio's highest grossing films. For a full table, see List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films#Box office performance. — Trailblazer¹⁰¹🔥^{(discuss · contribs)} 21:00, 26 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Prep for Good Article Renomination

Latest comment: 16 hours ago4 comments2 people in discussion

@Favre1fan93: Pinging you after your help the last go around. I have been contemplating about renominating for GA and have made many adjustments since last year, which I think have been complimented by the improvements and additions you have contributed. I did incorporate some information on the use of LLCs, notable BO highlights, and a summary of some more early development operations and the production logo in the lead. I plan on detailing the effect that Perlmutter's feud with Feige and Iger had, per sources I have appended above as ref ideas, which I think is the only major glaring absence. I also converted more tables to prose and added and swapped refs as needed. Here's the full diff for your reference. I know I have been busy in recent months, but plan to allocate the time necessary to see this to completion. Any suggestions or critiques are much appreciated. Thank you, as always. Cheers, — Trailblazer¹⁰¹🔥^{(discuss · contribs)} 02:02, 6 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Just want to reply to say I've seen this, I'm about to likely be off-wiki for a bit, and I can possibly get to looking this over when I'm back if I can. I will note there are still a bunch of suggested refs here on the talk page. You should look through those to see if anything has to be added from them. I also was wondering if the "Key people" section should be reworked and if there's a better way to integrate vis dev info in the article. We kind of wedged it in now when the recent news that the firings happened, but we should be highlighting that more. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:33, 8 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Roger that. I'll take a look and mull through the refs and see what can be added and how best to present the Viz Dev info in full. I'm in no rush to get this renominated anytime soon given my other commitments. — Trailblazer¹⁰¹🔥^{(discuss · contribs)} 18:07, 8 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Favre1fan93: I have taken the past three months to work on a general copyedit and overhaul throughout the article to refine its structure, including the remaining prose conversions, and add missing information, though I still intend to incorporate more of the Viz Dev details and information about Perlmutter's feud with Feige and subsequent involvement in Nelson Peltz's Disney proxy fight from the sources above, to provide a more informed, rounded detail of accounts pertaining to and stemming from this studio's history. I am still searching for some more citations where applicable. — Trailblazer¹⁰¹🔥^{(discuss · contribs)} 21:58, 16 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
