"Shelter": clearly inaccurate Box Office Mojo reports
This relates to the film Shelter (2026).
Link to movie on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32357218/
Link to movie on Box Office Mojo: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1066369025/weekend/
As you can see from the above linked page on Box Office Mojo, Shelter reported a box office gross in the UK of US$1,332,234, from 482 theaters, in its 2nd weekend, Feb. 6-8, 2026.
After falling to $197,763 during its second weekend, the film once again reported a gross of $1,332,234 from 482 theaters in its 4th weekend, Feb. 20-22.
The film's box office dropped significantly in its 5th weekend, then dropped some more in its 6th weekend. But in its 7th weekend, it was once again reported as grossing $1,332,234 from 482 theaters.
Shelter remained at $1,332,234 from 482 theaters in its 8th and 9th weekends. It fell off the UK box office chart in its 10th weekend, only to return in the weekend of April 10-12, which would have been its 11th weekend. Guess what it grossed that weekend? If you said $1,332,234 from 482 theaters, well, that is what Box Office Mojo says.
And once again, in weekends 12 and 13, the exact same amount of $1,332,234 from 482 theaters was reported for this film.
Shelter again fell off the UK box office chart for the next six weeks. It returned on the weekend of June 12-14, where once again it was reported as grossing $1,332,234 from 482 theaters, in what would have been its 20th weekend.
To summarize, this film has grosses from a total of 13 weekends -- and in nine of those weekends, it reported the exact same amount of box office gross.
I have no information as to how much Shelter has really grossed in the UK. But I do not believe that it has grossed the exact amount of $1,332,234 in nine different weekends this year.
I believe that the grosses for weekends 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 20 for Shelter all need to be corrected. This will also affect the weekend rankings for other movies, since the films which were incorrectly listed as grossing less than Shelter those weekends will each move up one ranking.

I found that this problem is not just affecting Shelter's box office results in the UK, but in other countries as well.
Argentina: Six of the seven reported weekends show a gross of $63,023 from 149 theaters.
https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2728034305/weekend/
Australia: Eight of the fourteen reported weekends show a gross of $748,528 from 246 theaters. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1855029249/weekend/
Austria: Four of the five reported weekends show a gross of $202,792 from 56 theaters.
https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl882802689/weekend/
Belgium: Four of the fifteen reported weekends show a gross of $85,497 from 34 theaters.

In fact, it will be easier for me to list the countries and territories where this problem does not occur. The weekend grosses for Domestic (USA) do not have this problem, nor do South Africa/Nigeria (as distinct from South Africa alone, which does have the problem), Switzerland, and Trinidad & Tobago.
But every other country and territory listed at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt32357218/ for Shelter has had the exact same weekend box office gross amount appear at least twice, and often six or more times.
