Reply to comment by AydonusG in [OC] Movie production companies with the highest total worldwide box office revenue by giteam

Is it inaccurate, or is it just that given the dynamics it's hard to make a chart that everyone would be happy with, since everyone has their own preferences about how it should be displayed?

I'm sure if OP did it as you suggested, there would be just as many comments critiquing the fact that he merged them and saying they wish they could see them separately. This sub can be a bit hypercritical sometimes.

They weren’t even consistent with their own methodology.

Star Wars is made by Lucasfilm, not Disney. But Disney owns lucasfilm. Like they own marvel.

I mean, is it inconsistent, or is it just a judgment call? I imagine dude was trying to thread the needle between a consistent methodology and interesting, digestible data. He could treat every subsidiary individually, but then you could have a highly fragmented list of players. He could have kept it top-level, but then you end up missing out on individual data for key entities. He probably split the difference to make it interesting to his audience while still providing relevant data.

This isn't a scientific study. It's a post on a sub about attractive presentations of data. I think OP succeeded.

True but this is about consistency, if marvel studios or 21st century fox are not counted as part of disney then lucasfilm movies shouldnt count. What is the criteria to split them?
