grossing $57.6 million in the United States and Canada and $123.8 million in other territories, for a worldwide gross of $230.1 million.
Correction
The international box-office figure here is wrong. $57.6 million plus $123.8 million equals only $181.4 million, and major box-office trackers list the film’s international total at about $171.6–$171.7 million, not $123.8 million.
Full reasoning
This sentence contains a clear numerical error.
- The numbers in the sentence do not add up: $57.6 million + $123.8 million = $181.4 million, not $230.1 million.
- Independent box-office trackers also contradict the stated $123.8 million in other territories figure.
- Box Office Mojo lists Life Is Beautiful at $57,247,384 domestic, $171,600,000 international, and $228,847,384 worldwide.
- The Numbers lists $57,598,247 domestic, $171,724,194 international, and $229,322,441 worldwide.
So while the domestic total is in the right range, the article’s international/other territories number is plainly incorrect.
