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

That's not what I meant. What I mean is that this data should be separated out by studio as it is because, in a sense, it's a measurement of the studio's performance.

Even if that’s what’s happening, OP’s graph is still disingenuous then. I mean, the representative picture for Disney is a Lucasfilm movie, a separate studio owned by Disney. It also appears that the Disney bar includes Pixar profits, which is also a separate studio owned by Disney.

So why include some under the parent but not others? What is the criteria? It’s a poor choice of data display.

While the picture shows Star Wars, the source data lists Lucasfilms separately from Disney. I think it's just a poor choice in pictures.

After clicking through to see more data, the star wars films and some marvel films are listed under Disney motion pictures. I retract all defenses, this is terrible data.
