The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie → The Day the Earth Blew Up – Per WP:NCFILM:

Branding subtitles – Subtitles and possessives used for brand recognition may be omitted for concision, unless they are being used for natural disambiguation.

  • Support. The subtitle is not emphasized on the poster. Some omit it entirely. So we should just go with the shorter format. --Quiz shows 00:50, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The poster you're talking about is from Australia, where the title was changed from "The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie" to "Looney Tunes: The Day the Earth Blew Up." Assdddffffggggg (talk) 04:47, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I prefer the subtitle staying because, apart from nearly every piece of promotional content there is for this film using the subtitle, I think it helps emphasize which franchise the film originates. You could make the argument that, "It's the only film ever made with this title," but the inclusion of the subtitle would not only let people know right off the bat it's about Looney Tunes, but it would also make searching this film up even more streamlined, as having it in the title lets you know right off the bat that you're clicking on the right link when looking it up in the search bar.

  • Weak oppose; consider re-evaluating closer to/after US release. As quoted by the nom, WP:NCFILM does state that branding subtitles may be omitted. The overarching guidance is: In general, article titles should use the official title of the film as indicated by its billing block, MPAA certificate, press releases, copyright agencies, the Library of Congress, the BFI catalog, the AFI catalog, etc. MPAA lists the short title[1] with the full title as an alternative. The copyright lookup gives the full title[2]. Press releases/news from Ketchup Entertainment[3] also use the full name of the movie at least on first mention in running text. Sometimes article titles, subheadings, and subsequent mentions in running text use the shorter title. Articles are not entirely consistent. Warner Bros. also uses the full title in passing references in press releases[4][5][6] – I don't see a dedicated press release about this movie on their website. AFI does not list the film.[7] I'm not sure where to find a printed billing block, but official posters[8] also show the full title, though arguably as branding. The recommended sources lean towards retaining the full title, with some conflicting results. I'm at weak oppose because the proposal is substantially more concise, is unambiguous, and matches the short title used in some sources. It's possible a more clear common name will emerge with more coverage closer to or following US/North American release --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 19:17, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, the original title is fine as is and should be shown in the movie itself. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 07:32, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
