Talk:List of highest-grossing media franchises

Apologies

I deleted Smurfs and Mission: Impossible because I thought that was out date after it said it was that much until a certain year. I am sorry. Iacowriter (talk) 20:03, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Digimon is still not on this list yet, why?

So i asked months ago why Digimon is not included in this list, since this franchise has grossed over $6 billion overall since 1997; i posted this site but I was told by someone that this fandom site "doesn't matter", but this site basically cites all sources and references in the case of all brands and in the case Digimon, don't those count? So then what counts to be on this list? I hope you'll do some checking and Digimon will included because I wouldn't want to think badly that there is some sort of bias against Digimon (again, one of Bandai's major franchises). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.25.36.77 (talk) 13:29, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

See Talk:List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises/Archive_3#Why_was_Digimon_deleted?

Many brands are missing (Naruto, Tom and Jerry, Asterix, etc) because there is simply not enough info aside from Box Office. Fandom is not reliable per Wikipedia:FANDOM. And it the case of that particular page (which was created in October 2019 according to the edit logs on that page [1]) it just copy pasted the previous version of this page (which had the inflated figures and was mostly original research, x product multiplied by price). Here is the October 2019 edition of this page [2]

Bandai never said how much Digimon made lifetime say from 2000 to 2015. (If they did I've yet to find it and I've checked everywhere, paid search engines and elsewhere) They did for Gundam (1979-2000, retail sales)[3] Timur9008 (talk) 15:38, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Adding One Piece on the List

Hello! As you could probably tell, I'm here to add the One Piece franchise to the list of highest-grossing franchises, but I wasn't really sure how. In 2024, there are plenty of sources that suggest One Piece should be somewhere on this list (most notably in the top 30 somewhere), and I tried to do it but I don't think my html skills are up to snuff anymore sadly. I was wondering if someone with more experience could either help me do it or add it themselves? Here are some of the sources that suggest One Piece should be here: https://www.33rdsquare.com/one-pieces-total-franchise-value-is-estimated-at-20-5-billion-as-of-2023/

If it can't be added then that's fine, but can someone at least explain why? Molak156 (talk) 19:04, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Case of Wikipedia:CITOGENESIS based on the sources you provided. (Title Max says at the bottom of the graph they used this page as a source, the one that had the inflated figures)

When know One Piece did a billion by 2004. [4] Timur9008 (talk) 01:39, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Oh shit. Does that mean One Piece WAS here before but got taken down due to lack of information? Molak156 (talk) 09:54, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Never mind, I checked the past revisions myself. So there's nothing to be done until we get more solid numbers? Molak156 (talk) 10:12, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Yeah we need a proper figure. Timur9008 (talk) 10:17, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
