What is the box office worldwide gross for this film?

The Numbers states that it is $728m and Box Office Mojo states that it is $870m with a 2023 re-release making $33m in South Korea with an opening of $119k. That $33m must be a mistake right? Camcool11 (talk) 00:02, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change Elliot Page to Ellen Page. At the time of the movie’s release the cast included Ellen Page the actress. As this page relates to the movie changes that happen after release should not influence what was at the time. When watching the credits there is no Elliot Page. As such this wiki is factually incorrect and requires amending. Atb83 (talk) 04:21, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Please see MOS:GENDERID. In articles about works involving a trans or non-binary person, we always use their current name, unless they have said they prefer their former name to be used for old credits. Page has expressed no such preference, and so we use his current name. Sideswipe9th (talk) 04:51, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You go so far that you even change quotes from the director to say "his" instead of "her" which is fucking ridiculous. 173.216.72.75 (talk) 04:09, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes should not be altered. If you see this happening, please point out where. InfiniteNexus (talk) 05:26, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The quote from Nolan "perfect combination of freshness and savvy and maturity beyond [his] years" was originally "her years" as you can see by following the reference. The square brackets indicate a paraphrasing of the original content, but usually such paraphrasing is done to replace something substantially longer with a pronoun, not replace one pronoun with another. --Saforrest (talk) 14:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the fourth paragraph of MOS:GENDERID for why we use a person's current name in articles on works they were involved in prior to changing their name. Sideswipe9th (talk) 19:43, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is the footnote that's currently provided unclear? Also, this is literally discussed in the thread immediately above this one. DonIago (talk) 06:22, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
