Box Office Mojo error?

I believe there may be an error with the box office data being reported for 2022 Oscar Nominated Short Films: Live Action. ShortsTV is currently distributing three different packages of the Oscar-nominated short films -- Live Action, Animation, and Documentary. These three packages are all being shown in different, separately ticketed screenings, not necessarily even at the same movie theater. However, only the Live Action package is getting listed in the box office results (see https://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/2022W09/).

Is IMDb sure that the box office results for the Live Action package don't also include the Animation and Documentary packages as well? I note that IndieWire refers to the box office of the Oscar shorts without distinguishing among Live Action, Animation, or Documentary (see https://www.indiewire.com/2022/02/the-batman-box-office-uncharted-dog-1234702569/).

Fran: Thanks for updating this.

However, I would note that this isn't a triple bill of 6 hours and 13 minutes as implied at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl489718529/weekend/. It's a unusual situation in which three different programs had their box office earnings reported collectively.
