Data and interpretation

Source: the replacement table pasted by the user in this conversation, with 39 entries. Figures are used as supplied and have not been independently verified. This is not a claim that the figures are authoritative box-office records.

The supplied columns are interpreted, in order, as release date, film title, production budget, US opening-weekend gross, US total gross, and worldwide total gross. The second dollar amount, stored as opening_weekend_us, determines circle size. Monetary values are nominal US dollars. Supplied dates may be first releases in particular territories rather than US opening dates.

The table replaces the earlier 23-film CSV. All six fields are retained. Werewolf by Night remains in the data with zero amounts and no supplied date, but is excluded from the visual. The remaining 38 entries have positive opening-weekend grosses and dates, spanning 2008–2026. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is included with the supplied $360,091,572 opening-weekend figure; it is not independently validated.

Visual encoding

Circle area, not radius, is proportional to supplied US opening-weekend gross. Circles form a non-overlapping packed cluster, arranged by gross for layout only. There are no timeline or numeric-position axes, and release dates do not determine placement. Hover, focus or tap a circle for its title, supplied date, and exact opening-weekend amount.

Hero and team backgrounds

All 38 plotted films are matched to a user-supplied hero or team image. The active image groups are Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, Deadpool, Black Panther, Iron Man, Hulk, solo Ant-Man, Ant-Man / Wasp, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Shang-Chi, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, and Eternals. The Marvels reuses Captain Marvel’s image. Captain America: Brave New World uses the supplied Captain America image.

Ant-Man (2015) uses the individual antman.jpg portrait, while Ant-Man and the Wasp and Quantumania retain the shared antmanwasp.jpg background. Deadpool & Wolverine uses the new deadpool.jpg image instead of the earlier Wolverine background; the Wolverine asset is retained for possible future use. The Guardians, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, and Eternals team pictures remain connected.

Matching display images and the original red-and-black spider-man.jpg default are attached as plot assets, with embedded display copies used for reliable private/public and static rendering. Large wallpapers are resized and compressed for display, retaining their aspect ratios.

On hover or keyboard focus, the background crossfades over 220 ms to the matching image. Leaving a circle restores the original default unless a film has been pinned by click/tap; clicking empty space or pressing Escape clears that selection. The static export uses the original default. A subtle edge shade keeps the heading and footer readable. Circle sizes, positions, values, and tooltip behavior remain unchanged.
