I have no contact with BOM but you can be corrected in NUM if you get Nash connected with Distributor Figures.

The DS compilation/preview film opened presales for the stage greeting (1 show per theater on sat sun) 20 minutes ago and that was enough to cause queues on every chain despite being a really early PS lift. I guess the name is just strong enough to open big/huge no matter what they put on the screen. Full PS should open in a week and a half or so.

Some time ago I sent a couple email (within a few months from each other) about a problem with the gross of some re-releases, I found the section with a lot of difficulty but then they never replied

 

I would have liked to send another one precisely on the fact that many films from China, Japan, South Korea and India have wrong totals but then I give up, anyway this is the page: https://help.imdb.com/contact

 

 

 

*And my email was the following:

 

Good morning, I'm writing this email to warn the staff of Box Office Mojo that I've noticed a few errors in some of the highest grossing movies of all time due to the incorrect counting (or maybe a simple bug) of some re-releases that took place mostly in 2020 and 2021. In these cases despite earning a few thousands dollars sometimes they are counted as millionaire re-releases and causing the total to be wrong

The main errors I found are Titanic (7 million in the 2017 re-release in Russia), The Lion King of 2019 (5 million in UK), Beauty and the Beast of 2017 (9 million in UK), Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (a few million in Brazil, Netherlands and South Korea), The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (5 million in Spain), Bohemian Rhapsody (7 million in UK) and other minor movies

Thank you for your attention, I hope my advice will be useful to solve the problem and improve the site.  Best regards, MG10
