Reported Problem for Beauty and the Beast
posted by Rocketeer RaccoonSTAFFMOD on June 29, 2017 at 3:37 PM
Item: Beauty and the Beast
Language: en
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: The revenue is incorrect, now I'm not sure which revenue figure you should between Box Office Mojo and The Numbers? While the Numbers has a higher Gross figure but Box Office Mojo for some reason recorded a higher Domestic Gross so I'm not sure what to make of this? Either use one of them or kind of mix and match so add Mojo's Domestic with Numbers' International Gross?
If the latter then it would be $451,345,837

My experience from researching a few titles earlier this year is that The Numbers appear to have more sources for the International Box Office, often boasting that number a bit. In this case I'm sure there must be an explanation to why there is a slight difference between the domestic numbers. Maybe someone can try contacting them and ask?
(And a temporary solution could indeed be to mix and match, but that's not a good long time solution.)

Hmm, yes it does make me wonder, both websites results tend to vary depending on the film. For the case of this film, I think the Numbers is better for most older films and some lesser films while Box Office Mojo is better for more recent high profile films.
