Narrative:
I received my final weights on ACARS, and was legal by 1200 pounds from my ATOG. 30 mins after takeoff from den I received a message from dispatch that I had taken off 1300 pounds over ATOG. My ZFW did not match what dispatch was now saying my new ZFW was. When I got home I called dispatch and had a 3 way call with dispatch and den load planner. Sometime after I received my final weights, someone entered more weight after the load planner closed the flight and this caused the empty weight of the bin to default to their highest weight.
