Ike and Kevin feud. Chadwick's cancer

1. Many movie news outlets have reported on Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter not wanting to make BP movie, thinking it'd flop, and how much Kevin Feige struggled until BP was greenlit. No info on that in the article 2. Chadwick was already diagnosed with cancer when production on this film began, but it also isn't in the article. Can someone find trustworthy webpages and add aforementioned info into the article? Gevorg89 (talk) 20:21, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Missing data from RottenTomatoes

Under the heading "Critical response" the first sentence states "The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 96%, with an average score of 8.3/10, based on 532 reviews". However, looking at Rotten Tomatoes' website shows more: the "Tomatometer" rating is indeed 96% based upon 531 reviews, but next to this is "Popcornmeter: 79% at 50,000+ votes" [1]. Is there any reason why that data should not also be included in the "Critical response" section? Bricology (talk) 21:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Popcornometer is a new name for that site's audience reviews, which have always been unreliable per WP:ROTTENTOMATOES as they cannot be verified. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:34, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Undefined footnote

Hello Favre1fan93! In this edit, you added a footnote dependent on a citation named "TVLineAug2024". Thing is, there's no such citation in this article. Are you able to provide the required citation so that this article can be correctly referenced and fix the error? -- mikeblas (talk) 08:20, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reference was there, it was just missing the opening '<'. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:39, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-== Listed as "Ninth" Highest Grossing Film ==
-I noticed that Black Panther is currently listed as the ninth highest grossing film of all time, and when I went to edit it I saw that a previous user added a request that it not be changed as this was its "peak" position. The film is now the 15th highest grossing. Why would we not change the article to reflect this, especially in the top three paragraphs?
