Some of the franchises in the franchise list overlap, resulting in some movies' grosses counting towards multiple franchises. This is not a mistake. The short explanation is that this is how the franchise deals work and how our sources do it.
Deadpool and Wolverine question. Since Wolverine receives equal billing in the title alongside Deadpool, (the movie is called "Deadpool and Wolverine", not 'Deadpool 3') shouldn't the movie be included under both the "Deadpool" and "Wolverine" film series under the X-men franchise umbrella? I'm not saying to count the movie's box office number twice when calculating the X-men franchise total, only that the movie should be included within both the Deadpool movie list as well as the Wolverine movie list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.43.37.190 (talk) 15:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would have the fox x men films (x-men till new mutants) and mcu x men films (starting with deadpool & Wolverine) as two different sub series (within the x men franchise).
And sub entries for each fox series having original trilogy, Wolverine trilogy, prequel films series, Deadpool series and the new mutants standalone Fanoflionking3 (talk) 18:42, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the logic is that the Deadpool & Wolverine takes place in the Deadpool continuity and is not part of the Wolverine series, although I daresay you could argue that goes against the spirit of WP:INUNIVERSE. Your alternative suggestion of listing it under both entries but only counting the gross once in the X-Men total is also a sensible alternative. Ultimately, the casual reader will be interested in how much the Wolverine films have grossed and won't really care about different versions of Wolverine, so it does seem like an omission to not include it under the Wolverine entry. I think there is a WP:RS case for this approach too per The Numbers. Betty Logan (talk) 20:48, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This movie was called Deadpool 3 before changing the title, so I think we should keep it only in the Deadpool series, or we have to create the Fox section and the MCU section inside the X-Men franchise--Luke Stark 96 (talk) 21:57, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The citation for 1918's "Mickey" having grossed $8,000,000 is an article from a gossip rag from 1939 stating that producer Mack Sennett once said this was the case, without a source. The only primary source I can find attesting to any box office figure is the book "King of Comedy", which was put together from transcriptions of interviews the producer gave. He states twice that "Mickey" grossed $18,000,000 (once spelled out as eighteen), but also says that he lost all documentation to back this up. I've removed this film from the wiki page "1918 in film", which now lists "Tarzan of the Apes" as the highest grossing film for 1918. I haven't independently verified Tarzan, as accurate box office figures from the early 20th century are difficult to come by, but I can't find any reliable info to justify Mickey's spot here.
