Mr. Nobody

I've added Mr. Nobody (film) to the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathslayer-97 (talk • contribs) 11:33, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

"Transformers 3D The Double Freeway"?

Why do people keep adding this bogus title? I've heard no actual news about it and every time someone reposts it they just copy Due Date or Megamind's sources and claim it as their own. 207.32.33.16 (talk) 20:25, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Bolded

Why are some films bolded? 75.72.105.60 (talk) 01:33, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Its a good question, the intention is to bold those that opened wide in the US, but there is already a symbol for that. BOVINEBOY2008 :) 01:50, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

That's how they did it in the 2009 article, and I don't see anything really wrong with it.75.170.152.190 (talk) 20:20, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

...but what does it mean? list originator should please add a simple statement at top that says what bold means —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.82.181.113 (talk) 08:43, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

The bolding shows which films have opened wide (in the US, since this is a list by US release date). Only films that have already opened and which opened in wide release are bolded. I find this makes it much easier to quickly scan the list and see which films were wide releases and which weren't. While the "W" and "L" symbols on the side also show which are wide or limited releases, they aren't as easily noticable at a glance. Since I don't see any reason not to have the bolding, I'm going to restore it. Calathan (talk) 17:18, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Why the 2009 awards?

Why are the award ceremonies honoring 2009 films included in this article? Wouldn't the 2011 results (once they're out, of course) be more useful and relevant, since those nominees and winners reflect 2010 in film? Liquidluck✽talk 06:49, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

The award ceremonies happened in 2010, although I don't endorse them being here. They used to be just part of the event section, which made sense, but the table separate doesn't make sense. BOVINEBOY2008 :) 07:04, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I've boldly deleted the table along with the SAG award winners because I believe the wikilink to the full list to be enough. In addition, if we included the major film ceremonies from every country in the world the list would grow very long and would not be useful. Liquidluck✽talk 02:44, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Release date

Are the films in the table listed by release date in the United States or by first release date in any country? It currently appears to be the former, but that method doesn't allow for films which aren't released to the US. It also makes Oceans' current status (grossing enough in the foreign market to be in the top 10 although it hasn't been released to the US yet) rather confusing. Should the method be switched to first release date in any country? liquidluck✽talk 06:43, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

That would make things even more complicated, I think. There are already hundreds of films released in theaters every year in the United States that even a lot of those get overlooked by the Wiki, and adding more films to the mix would just confuse people even more. Plus many films get shown at film festivals before their theatrical release and it wouldn't be of much value to average readers if we considered those their official release. Maybe we could create separate pages for other countries' release schedules.75.170.152.190 (talk) 20:13, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

June Havoc

Should she be added to the Deaths section? Jim Michael (talk) 18:54, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

I would say yes. Looking at her article, she has been in several films. BOVINEBOY2008 :) 21:28, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Clash of the Titans

Is now officially the highest grossing movie of the year. Shouldn't we put it there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.16.80.109 (talk) 21:58, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Source? Do you mean in the United States? In the world? BOVINEBOY2008 :) 22:00, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

It's on the TV Commercials. I saw one that stated it was the "#1 movie in America!" So yes, USA. When A.I.W. stated it was it was true. I mean, this page only recognizes USA, if you look at the bottom it will give you lists for "2010 in film in: Bollywood, USA, Japan etc." So we should make this page reflect the US of A.

Actually, those commercials mean "Clash of the Titans was #1 at last weekend's box office!" rather than "Clash of the Titans is the highest-grossing movie of the year!". Some movies, like Alice in Wonderland, will also run commercials stating, "Alice in Wonderland is the #1 movie in America two weeks in a row!" liquidluck✽talk 22:34, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Strong bias towards the American film industry

This article seems to have a strong bias towards the American film Industry (or Hollywood). It does not list or discuss movies made in other parts of the world.

While USA might have the largest film industry in terms of budgets and revenues, it does not make the industry any more relevant to a general movie article than say the Indian or the French film industry.

I suggest that this article be expanded by contributors to eliminate the bias, else this page be moved under a more appropriate title. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mihirmodi (talk • contribs) 21:17, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, a move is necessary. Also, this is really just a list of releases, there is no in depth prose about what happened in the film industry so the "in film" part of the title is ambiguous. I recommend all "Year in film" articles should be moved to "Year United States theatrical releases" (i.e. 2010 United States theatrical releases or 2010 United States film releases.

Why not add other films, then? Everard Proudfoot (talk) 00:17, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

I feel like it should have a American-bias, because it is 2010 in film in America, if you look at the bottom of the page, it gives you different countries to choose from. 174.16.80.109 (talk) 02:59, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

This is 2010 in film, therefore it is film in the world. The links at the bottom of the article are for several countries, one of which is the US. Jim Michael (talk) 11:37, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough. But this is the English speaking Wikipedia isn't it? Just add Canada and England and other majority-english-speaking countries and we're good. Adding all countries would over-load the system. It's happened on some Wikipedia articles! 174.16.80.109 (talk) 04:25, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Can somebody help me?

I can't get this to go into the right spot under "Babies" for May 7. No matter what I do, the formatting is messed up:

It's resolved. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 23:54, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

The Trotsky

comes out tomorrow, not on the list —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.238.23.143 (talk) 04:03, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Nanny McPhee sequel

This is titled Nanny McPhee Returns in the United States but it keeps being reverted back to Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang. I think if we're using the US release schedule we should use the US title.207.32.33.16 (talk) 08:57, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Area 51

What exactly happened to Area 51 on the list? While I'm at it, a lot of films seem to have been removed from the list of this and 2011 and beyond. Can somebody fix some stuff? 174.16.80.109 (talk) 04:27, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
