Apocalypto

[edit]

I have entered an "undo" on the edit because information on certain movie sites show multiple distributors for this film with 20th Century Fox listed only for theatrical distribution in some countries. I mentioned this in the edit summary.

IMdB is not considered a reliable source but that is because it is user generated. I think that is not necessarily the case for company information but other than that and movie aggregators showing Icon as the production company, I could find no nothing else. Such information as those pages have show there were multiple distributors but Icon was the main one for all media non-U.S. It is usually listed as the production company, however. Due to the lack of a source that I could find that everyone would consider definitive as to a distributor (because they might discount International Movie Database, the most specific, I personally would not get into a dispute over this. The user could be challenged to provide a source for the change. I don't think that one can be provided but only ImDB can definitely be cited for Icon as distributor, as far as I know.

There is a Wikipedia:WikiProject Film. It seems to be a large project with many pages and topics. I have not looked at this one before. I think other WikiProjects are more direct about how to get help or opinions but that may be just because this has so many parts I could not see which was the right one. You might ask a question on the talk page of the main project page (the one I just linked) if you do not see something more specific that I may have missed. Maybe some user will answer with advice on how to find a more definitive source.

That is about all I can do with this. I am just a longtime user, not an expert on films or an administrator. So I cannot make a final judgment if it comes to a dispute. If my undo is itself undone, I hope you can find a way to pursue it if you wish to do so. Donner60 (talk) 08:45, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Respected Donner60, Thank you sincerely for looking into this matter and I will check the main page you have provided for more information. The fact that Icon is a distributor for most of its films in non-US territories is true, but there can be multiple distributors for this film. So therefore 20th Century Fox is a distributor in certain territories. Thank you for explaining the solution. FloorMadeOuttaFloor (talk) 13:41, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
