:File:Pictogram voting wait.svg Already done Our article's infobox already shows this, guessing you're referring to the "infobox"-like thing google pulls up which we do not control Cannolis (talk) 18:51, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Edit Request under "Directorial Debut" section
The page states that Reality Bites (1994) "debuted as the highest-grossing film in its opening weekend". Upon checking the industry standard for box office information (Box Office Mojo), this claim can only be made if considering that most films appeared to only report grosses for the 4 day presidents day weekend, rather than the typical friday-sunday weekend. While most films now a days will report both the 3 and 4 day grosses, it is not uncommon for older films' box office performance to be largely on the word of the studio.
In the 3 day weekend, only 3 films reported any gross, one of which was "Reality Bites". Given that the 4-day weekend haul has more than 3 films with reported grosses, it can be assumed that more than 3 films played throughout the weekend, and that Reality Bites was likely the only major film to report the 3 and 4 day box office hauls.
Given that Reality Bites' 4 day haul was the 5th most of any film in that weekend, it can be assumed that the film was NOT the "highest grossing film in it's opening weekend", as that technicality defies common sense based on information available about the 4 day haul.

Grandparents' birthplaces
the article says his father "was born to Ashkenazi Jewish parents that had emigrated from Galicia in Poland" , but Jerry Stiller's page - Jerry Stiller says "His paternal grandparents emigrated from Galicia (southeast Poland and western Ukraine), and his mother was born in Frampol, Russian Empire." That would mean his parents were not both from Galicia. I don't know which is correct, but both can't be. Does anyone know? Jenny Sinclair (talk) 20:24, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
