Highest grossing list

Am I misreading the sources for the top 10 or is there not a discrepancy? The Numbers source has the list that’s featured on the page, but Box Office Mojo has different rankings. For example, Austin Powers is not in the top 10 on BOM. Rusted AutoParts 14:31, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neither is The Mummy. The Box Office Mojo chart is wrong. As you can see at the BOM entry for The Mummy, it grossed $416 million (virtually identical to the figure at The Numbers), but doesn't show up in the chart. These errors have been popping up in Box Office Mojo for 3/4 years now. The issue is documented at WP:BOXOFFICE#Box Office Mojo. In my opinion it should be deprecated as a reliable source, but the problem is The Numbers isn't that great either which would create a data gap. Usually the errors can be ironed out by comparing the two, but it's not great for verification purposes, as you have just discovered for yourself.
