About listing in "ADVANCED TITLE SEARCH" as per "US BOX OFFICE"
Respected Sir/Madam,
Let me clear very first that I am not so good in English. So if you don't understand what I am trying to say, please forgive me.
In "ADVANCED TITLE SEARCH" , we set parameters and search as per "US BOX OFFICE", in descending OR ascending order.
The result comes always wrong. I mean the Titles don't come in correct order.
Please check this --- https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature&release_date=2023-01-01,2023-12-31&genres=!documentary,!short&sort=boxoffice_gross_us,desc
The movie title - Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, it has Gross US & Canada - $124,481,226
even then it appears in order list at - number 115. I don't understand why? Respected Sir/Madam, by mistake but we are misleaded.
It happens every time in each and every search.
Respected Sir/Madam please don't take me wrong but I strongly recommend you to upload the previous version especially for "ADVANCED TITLE SEARCH" section.
The previous version was the best, perfect and more informative than the latest one. We could see Gross US & Canada in the LIST and didn't need to go to the title page to check Gross US & Canada. Please do needful.
My last words to IMDB TEAM - After all you are doing great job and great hard work to provide all information to us. I respect and appreciate your hard work.
Thanking you.
Yours Tully,

Sunil: I am just an IMDb user, but I see the problem you have noted and I agree that it is a problem.
To simplify this situation, I ran a similar search:
https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature&release_date=2023-01-01,2023-12-31&sort=boxoffice_gross_us,desc
which is just a search for all features released in 2023, sorted by U.S. box office gross. (Most shorts wouldn't have box office grosses to report anyway, and by including documentaries the first noticeable change is that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour gets included.)
Comparing that search to the Box Office Mojo 2023 calendar-year release listing at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2023/?grossesOption=totalGrosses shows that the top 20 films are the same, and in the same order.
However, starting at #21 the lists diverge. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom should be at #21 as it is on Box Office Mojo, but the IMDb list has The Flash at #21, rather than #24 where it should be. The IMDb list demotes Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom to #116.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is at #22 on the BOM list, but down at #140 on the IMDb list. The divergences from the BOM list continue on from there. There are films in the top 50 of the IMDb list which aren't listed by BOM as reporting any box office results and may not even have had a theatrical release, including Sit Down Stand Up and Whisper: Echoes of Dread.
So I believe the staff needs to look at the "sort by U.S. box office gross" situation and see what has gone wrong with this search result.
