Re-release box office errors

Some films are being listed by Box Office Mojo as having had re-releases in 2025 which supposedly grossed as much as their original releases or slightly more.

You can see this at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2025/?grossesOption=totalGrosses where among the supposed top 10 grossing movies of 2025, three of the "Harry Potter" movies are listed:

Other films affected include The Batman, Elf, The Matrix, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Purple Rain, The Goonies, and Corpse Bride.

I don't think any of the above films had significant re-releases in 2025, at least not in the U.S.

By contrast, on the 2025 box office listing at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2025/?grossesOption=totalGrosses the gross listings for films that actually did receive re-releases appear to be correct, such as Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Hamilton, Jaws, Back to the Future, etc.
