Hi! I will be reviewing this article, expect the initial remarks soon! Vestrian24Bio 06:03, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yovt: you have only made 22 edits to the page and you asked another user to backup your nom, but they (SleepDeprivedGinger) have done only 17 edits to this page. Neither of you don't even appear on the Top 50 authors list, thus I'm failing this nomination. Vestrian24Bio 06:14, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yovt: I have re-opened the review now as you requested at my talkpage. I will continue the review. Vestrian24Bio 03:18, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Vestrian24Bio, these comments have been addressed, though I will note the linking to publisher will take some time. Any more comments would be greatly appreciated, thank you. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 15:29, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No need for the first note on infobox. Done

Third sentence of the "Box office" section should be re-written as, It also became the first film based on a video game to gross $1 billion worldwide,<ref> the highest-grossing animated film of 2023,<ref> and the second highest-grossing film of 2023 after Barbie.<ref> Done
MOS:FILMBOXOFFICE says to avoid terminology such as "domestic", "international" and "North America".
"initially projected to gross roughly $125 million from 4,025 theaters in its five-day opening weekend. It was also expected to gross roughly $100 million internationally" - contradicting figures.Removed
"After making $31.7 million on its first day and $26.5 million on its second, five-day estimates were raised to $141 million. Projections were re-adjusted yet again to $191 million after the film made $55 million on Friday. The film went on to debut to $146.4 million during the traditional three-day weekend and $204.6 million over the five-day frame" - condense this sentence, no need for a day-by-day statement. Done
" its $190.8 million lifetime gross to become the top-grossing video game adaptation ever" - domestic or international?Has been removed
No need to list Transformers, Minions, Quantumani - article's about this movie only. Also, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 seems over-detailed here. Done
Same for the second paragraph. DoneThough Frozen 2 is a bit more important that it'll stay unless ordered otherwise
The entire "Domestic" section seems to be over-detailed.Your comments diluted its detail, please advise if not enough

"as many Nintendos as Nintendon'ts" -- ?? should have a [sic]. Done
Should rewrite the CinemaScore and PostTrak sentence more clearly. Done
The "Critical response" section is also over-detailed, a one-sentence summary/highlight of each review is enough. Done

Add a KCA winners ref. --
According to MOS:FILMACCOLADES, "Awards included in lists should have a Wikipedia article to demonstrate notability", so remove HPA, GAFCA, SCL from the article. --
