Box Office Mojo error: "The Richest Woman in the World"

Here is another error found on Box Office Mojo, in which a French film has been listed twice under its English and German names.

I noticed that in the German weekend box office results for April 23-26 on BOM, there were two films ranked at #9 and #10 respectively, both reporting the exact same amount: $194,120, and the titles of these two films were listed as Die reichste Frau der Welt and The Richest Woman in the World. See https://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/2026W17/?area=DE.

As those two titles are identical, just with one of them in German and the other in English, I assume this is just an error and the same film's box office results in Germany for that weekend were entered twice into BOM by mistake, once under each title.

As seen at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/releasegroup/gr862999301/ , most of this film's grosses worldwide are listed in BOM under the English title The Richest Woman in the World. However, for Germany, only one weekend's gross is shown under that title (see https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2024243201/weekend/ ). Rather, for Germany, there are eight weekends of box office results listed under the title Die reichste Frau der Welt (see https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl3097985025/weekend/ ). (Those grosses do appear to be plausible in terms of a reasonable week-to-week decreasing pattern.)

The way to fix this problem would be something like this: Take the existing box office results in Germany for Die reichste Frau der Welt and make those the box office results in Germany for The Richest Woman in the World instead.

Finally, please note that films are normally entered into BOM under their English titles, even if their original titles are in foreign languages. So having this film listed in BOM as The Richest Woman in the World is indeed standard procedure.

Thanks!
