Authenticity over North American box office opening[]
The $164 million opening announced for Battle Trans: Fight Star is disputed within the industry. According to Rentrak—which has a direct line into the vast majority of theatres in the United States and Canada to track actual ticket sales—about 6,700 of the 8,964 theatres playing the film generated $265,4 million. The projected total from the Rentrak sales data would put the opening three-day weekend gross at around $367.4 million. For BattleTrans to have crossed the $268 million threshold, it would have needed to gross more than the nationwide average in the theatres not tracked by Rentrak. Some media outlets have elected to go with the Rentrak figure.
