Template:Box Office Leaders (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Box Office Leaders USA (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

At WikiProject Films, there is a discussion about succession boxes being used at the end of film articles, and the opinion seems to be to remove them. The above templates use succession box coding and are used in multiple film articles, so this would be a good start to deprecate succession boxes from film articles. I will repeat my rationale against them: Succession boxes clog the ends of film articles with information that is not directly pertinent to the topic. Any impressive box office performance, such as #1 for the opening weekend or holding onto #1 for x weeks should already be determined in the prose. In addition, previous box office leaders are not relevant, and succeeding box office leaders may or may not be relevant (relevant usurpers should be conveyed in prose anyway). The problem with these templates is that to avoid systemic bias, numerous territories need to be listed. See this particularly grotesque example. —Erik (talk • contrib) 21:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per nom. That example is already excessive and for completeness it would be even worse. Much better to use prose for this kind of information. Garion96 (talk) 21:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom. A fundamental problem besides clutter and the need to cover such milestones in the article itself is that such boxes are not properly used in this manner. Guidelines don't cover such usages. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:00, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both per discussion. As noted, they clutter the article, are not useful navigation tools, often add OR and trivial information to the articles, and display a heavy American-centric bias in all articles, even foreign films. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 22:34, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I support deleting this as long as their is a consensus to remove all succession boxes from film articles first. BOVINEBOY2008 00:17, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, delete these boxes as they are often uncited as well as filling up articles with ugly huge blocks of nothing. Andrzejbanas (talk) 02:07, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It's not really ugly. TheListUpdater (talk) 00:52, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom. Extremepro (talk) 07:47, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - of minor use. They also really screw up in cases where a film is #1 at separate times.--Remurmur (talk) 21:11, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. I disagree with the complaints that the box is ugly and useless. Its main problem is the difficulty of making it inclusive of the many different markets in which top movies lists may be kept. If the box had, for example, collapsible sections for different geographical regions, so that more markets could be included without overwhelming the page, then it could be useful. That said, it's a bit much on the page in its current form, and if the consensus on the film articles is to remove such boxes, then this template will end up being unused regardless. --RL0919 (talk) 17:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are other reasons why the templates do not work. First, the templates can be challenged for not being verifiable; while #1 opening weekend in the United States is easy enough to check, it's less the case with other countries. Also, the templates lack context, like how much a film made in a particular country. For example, at Hancock (film)#Theatrical run, there is detailed prose about how the film was received in various countries. Additionally, why are the #1 films before and after relevant? We can't tell from just the templates whether the succeeding film brought the film in question down a notch or if it was just diminishing returns for that film. —Erik (talk • contrib) 17:52, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I always thought it was rather trivial. I think it's placement got out of hand, it's a little to big and inappropriate for an encyclopedia • S • C • A • R • C • E • 19:48, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
