Authorised resource Indiatoday.in- announces Film Petta nearing 250 crores worldwide collection. At the very least this must be registered in the range 200-250 throwing out Vivegam which is presently at Number 10. Request to update. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdiggin (talk • contribs) 12:21, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Mdiggin:  Not done Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. We don't make changes based on suppositions and predictions. The article you provided doesn't say what it thinks the total gross is, so picking "200–250" would be a shameful fabrication on our part. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:07, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is a prediction based on facts (seeing it is a reputable source accepted by Wikipedia). And here you are implying that indiatoday fabricates stories. You got to take it easy with such comments. I'm trying to keep this table updated because i like looking at this list. I will get back when i find an updated number for this film. Until then, thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.248.24.122 (talk • contribs)

You appear to be missing the point: We do not update financial figures until it can be demonstrated that the financial figures were achieved. It is common for media outlets to speculate about a film's potential earning power long before a film is released, or along the way, but we'd be foolish to proclaim a film as one of the highest-grossing Indian films if the film hadn't crossed the mark yet. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:41, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petta_(film) The wiki page has the updated box office results. Please update the ranking accordingly. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdiggin (talk • contribs) 14:55, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Mdiggin: You mean the updated figure that was tweeted by some random cricket and tennis fan on Twitter, instead of a legitimate financial analyst? I think not. The purpose of a secondary source is to get a journalist to check out and vet information they receive. When all they're doing is obviously parroting a garbage source and even presenting the content as though it were a rumour ("It is said..."), there can be no assumption that they've done any actual fact-checking here, and it's yet another example of poor journalism from India's high-pressure "gotta report a higher box office figure" system. Wikipedia has no deadline. We're under no pressure to insanely report every change to box office figures that come out. If it takes a month to get a reliable final box office total for the film, we'll wait. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:00, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! Okay. You really think these so called legitimate sources and financial analysts are true to the tee. Well, I'm all for legitimate numbers. Let's wait. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdiggin (talk • contribs) 22:12, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Mdiggin: I don't believe any of them are true to a tee, but when they're writing stories based on comments that regular people have written, that's just shitty journalism.

Update Highest-grossing opening weekends list

The worldwide estimated collection of Petta is Rs 149 crore by the end of its first week.

source - https://www.ibtimes.co.in/petta-box-office-collection-1st-week-here-how-much-rajinikanth-grossed-worldwide-8-days-790266 Prasanna0572 (talk) 10:45, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: @Prasanna0572: That list is a jumble of confusing content and I have flagged it for cleanup. It's absurd that we have Baahubali 2's five-day gross figure that we're calling a "weekend", contrasted with 2.0's seven-day gross, which we're calling a "weekend", and now you want us to consider an eight-day gross figure and call that a "weekend". We need to properly define what a weekend is (I always thought it was Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and adjust the list accordingly. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:33, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Highest-grossing opening weekends table is a bit of a mess and I've flagged it for cleanup accordingly. A film weekend is typically Friday, Saturday and Sunday. You know, like a normal weekend? It becomes problematic when a film releases mid-week. How do we calculate what its "weekend" was? Do we use the literal first weekend, i.e. Friday, Saturday and Sunday figures? Perhaps. If that specific data is available. But what is not logical, is to use four, five, six and seven-day figures as we've done for Baahubali: The Beginning, Baahubali 2, Sarkar, and 2.0 respectively. If the three day weekend data isn't published in a consistent way, I don't know what value this table is ever going to have. Thoughts? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:50, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have made up some changes Wiki KuthiVaiyans (talk) 16:40, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Wiki KuthiVaiyans: Though I know you meant well, I don't see how these changes resolve the issue. Wikipedia is acting as an arbiter of films ranked highest for opening weekend, yet we have no consistency as to what a "weekend" means. A weekend surely doesn't mean five days. A weekend surely doesn't mean four days. And how do we decide that Bajrangi Bhaijaan is ranked #12 of all opening weekends when it opened on a Thursday and grossed 2 crore more than Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. This list is problematic. So until it is fixed, the cleanup template should remain. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:25, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: Oh okay a weekend is typically Friday, Saturday and Sunday and if a film released before that, we can only mention it that it released before friday i think and that baahubali 2 figure is not 5 days, the source actually says its 3 days worldwide 526 crores which is based on producers's tweet ("3 days 500 crores and still counting") and a shitty tracker's tweet ( who's tweets are been reported by most of the sources linked here) and for 2.0 i changed it to 4 days figures. Wiki KuthiVaiyans (talk) 06:43, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Wiki KuthiVaiyans: If a weekend is a three-day opening that runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday, then those are the only figures that belong in the table. Why would we include a film that opened on a Wednesday? That's not a weekend. If a film opens days earlier than another film, it has more days to make money. And such a film simply doesn't compare properly to a film that does the traditional Friday release. In order for something to be compared properly to another thing, all the variables need to be the same. Ex: Sarkar is ranked #8 with a six day total. That makes it look like it pulled in more cash than Dangal, Dhoom 3 and Tiger Zinda Hai, when that may be absolute rubbish. Sarkar didn't have a standard weekend opening, so it simply can't be compared 1:1 to the films that did. That's a critical flaw in the scope of the table. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:28, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: Yeah that's why i said, we can only mention or highlight that this film didn't have typical weekend release and we can't even use just 3 days figures of those films since they make most of the money in weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), that's why there is even a table here and we can't also use just weekend gross (3 days) of those films, If someone wants to know the films which had a Friday release, they can sort the table with a click. Wiki KuthiVaiyans (talk) 16:10, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Wiki KuthiVaiyans: If a film doesn't have a typical weekend release, it doesn't belong in a list with films with typical weekend releases. We are ranking films with mismatched variables. We shouldn't be doing that, regardless of how the table can be sorted. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:16, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• This may help: List of highest-grossing openings for films#Biggest worldwide openings on record. A weekend is Fr-Sun, although in recent times this stretches to Thursday evening previews. If a film is opening on Wednesday or even earlier it is not a weekend no matter how it is marketed by the distributors. If you are not making an "apples for apples" comparison then it shouldn't be presented as one. If you are comparing openings of different durations that should be made clear.

Hello mods, I notice that the Total box office figures for the movie Sarkar is noted as 260 Cr, while the source only mentioned "above 250 Cr". The article only says Mersal (a different movie) collected a total of 160 Cr. This cannot be applied for Sarkar. Please revisit and update to 250 Cr. Or let me know if i'm missing something. (EDIT) Just double checked (issue with google translate), this estimate seems to be based on the twitter feed by a guy. And it does say 260 Cr each.

Since two reliable sources have a difference of opinion about the gross, I've added the information in the form of a range.

Wouldn't it be better if a table would have been added just like list of highest grossing films, that a table of movies produced in India whose worldwide gross is adjusted for inflation.

P.S. Please note that I am not talking about this table : Domestic Gross Adjusted for Inflation. This table only shows the gross in India and not the WorldWide figures. Hence, it would be better to make a table on that, which could eventually provide more information about the total gross figures subject to year of production. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justlookingforthemoment (talk • contribs) 13:12, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
