Competing films edit

@Walter Görlitz: I think it's customary to reference other films opening during the same weekend, as in the articles for Little Women (2019 film) and Unplanned. It's certainly not necessary, just something I've observed over the course of my "editing career." ;) —J.S. Clingman Fëalórin, A Child of God (talk) 00:12, 13 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

I have not seen it in Blade Runner 2049 Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and other film articles I've seen. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:51, 13 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, it's not essential, although it's not uncommon to see in film articles. Other movie articles which feature films opening during the same weekend are Spies in Disguise and I Can Only Imagine (film). Anyway, it's not a big deal, so if you don't think we should add competing films to this article, that would totally be fine with me. —J.S.

Box Office Pro edit

Hey, @TropicAces:. I was just wondering: why is Box Office Pro (apparently) not considered industry tracking? Since you are the senior editor in this case, I figured you might know. Thanks!—J.S. Clingman Fëalórin, A Child of God (talk) 15:04, 11 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Have you checked at Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Resources? Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:13, 11 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@J.S. Clingman: because Box Office Pro, while an established publication, is (1) two months old in its predictions (a lot changes with box office and predictions in that time), and (2) isn’t official industry tracking, it’s just their own predictions, so it doesn’t hold much true weight.

Is there really an "official" tracking service? There are multiple services. The source mentions "independent trackers". Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 16:10, 11 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
