I was walking by my local theater yesterday when I saw that they had up a version of the theatrical release poster with a billing block at the bottom. I have been unable to find a copy of this online; does anyone have better luck? InfiniteNexus (talk) 16:53, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bummer. It seems every theater I pass by has this version of the poster up, and yet I am still unable to find it online ... InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:10, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@InfiniteNexus: I work at a movie theatre and I was able to get my hands on the poster. I took a photo of it just in case (here), which I am working on tweaking in Photoshop to remove any extraneous elements caught in the shot. I'm not the most proficient, and doubt it could be used. Not sure if you need the billing block from that specific version, though I did notice this version or this one (both non-theatrical versions but still close contenders) has the billing, if that may be of use? Trailblazer101 (talk) 03:59, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading that photo, Trail. I ran it through Google Images and got this ... which is in Danish. There's also this, but it's framed and uses "cinemas" and "coming soon". I don't know whether we would be able to get away with using a Photoshopped version of your image, but I guess if it's fair-use reduced, perhaps no one would notice? (Gosh dang it, why won't they just release it online ...) As for the other two posters, we have the billing block order, I just don't think we should be using a non-theatrical poster for the infobox.

Gotch'ya. The theatrical one is the most preferred in my mind. I saw the Art of the Movies page though it was for a different version. I think that may be the best bet here with some cropping. (They really should just release it properly!) I admittedly didn't expect I would get the poster this early. I can try to see what I can do in Photoshop (thank you art school!) for both of them this week, though I may get busy with my other commitments and work given TSwift weekend. I should report back by the start of next week if I make any progress. Trailblazer101 (talk) 04:53, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I may just try framing my poster and go from there. I'll test a few other options. Trailblazer101 (talk) 04:58, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't had much luck or been able to work up anything that seems viable on my end. I found it rather difficult to translate the poster over as it still seemed choppy. We'll likely just have to stick with the current version as is. Trailblazer101 (talk) 02:46, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about it, we can live without it. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:25, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't this the theatrical release poster? http://www.impawards.com/2023/creator_ver6.html it does include a proper billing block. -- 109.77.197.70 (talk) 13:46, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, the problem is that the poster is international version instead of United States version. LancedSoul (talk) 19:20, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox film says "Ideally, an image of the film's original theatrical release poster should be uploaded and added to the infobox." but the USA poster is not available. Is the international release poster with billing block not preferable to preview poster without one? -- 109.77.196.25 (talk) 03:09, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The one currently being used in the infobox is the theatrical release poster. It's just that it's missing a billing block, and we normally shoot for a version with a billing block. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:08, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And it's not labeled a "Box Office Bomb" because why? 2600:8800:395:B000:4052:6367:9C43:3035 (talk) 03:36, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

His dad is Denzel Washington and every movie he has starred in has been a bomb. JettaMann (talk) 03:42, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

BlacKkKlansman earned $93 million on a $15 million budget. Ergo, not a bomb.CRBoyer 07:40, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It turned a 25% profit on theatrical release. Bombing at the box office means not earning production costs back. Any profitable movie with one or more Academy Awards nominations is destined to improve the reputation of the principal creators and actors. 72.253.196.24 (talk) 07:24, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Films must earn twice their budget to be considered profitable. The Creator did not.CRBoyer 07:40, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current version of this article states that "AI triggers a nuclear explosion over Los Angeles," but isn't that inaccurate, since it's revealed in the film that the explosion was actually due by a simple (human-caused) coding error? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 04:06, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That it's a human error is addressed later in the plot when the twist is revealed.CRBoyer 04:14, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Box office listed as $529 million which doesn’t seem correct Bokmanrocks01 (talk) 16:59, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
