What is the source for defining the pandemic?
Some countries like the US and ones in Europe have moved to calling it a endemic from a pandemic. Do we have a source to define the current state? Specifically when it comes to parts of the article like this:

"A year later, Avatar: The Way of Water surpassed Spider-Man: No Way Home to become the highest-grossing film released during the COVID-19 pandemic"

If we're tracking the highest-grossing film released during the pandemic, it is likely that the later on it gets the less likely it is to be affected by it. Even at this point I'm not sure how much of an impact it would have had on Avatar, but either way I think it would be good to have a source to define the cut off.

 * I'm aware I'm replying a year later, but the difficulty with this is the distinction between the pandemic as a social phenomenon involving public health restrictions, and the much longer and broader epidemiological-predictive-ability definition, which extends beyond when the vast majority of people have basically gone back to normal. For this reason, we haven't yet really been able to get a consensus to specifically call the pandemic over on most articles about the pandemic in and of itself. That said, to mention any given film here, we do need WP:Due weight of sources actually saying that the impact (from the title) of the pandemic is relevant, rather than a time cutoff form of WP:OR. That sentence you quoted is not in the body of the article and is not supported by any sources, hence per WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY and WP:BURDEN I have removed it. I also added sources and information to clarify why, by contrast, Spider-Man: No Way Home is relevant. Crossroads -talk- 23:52, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
