Mods, could one of you move this thread to the main forum? This is potentially massive box office news. It doesn't deserve to be "buried" on the Speakeasy.

[Ethan Hunt]

No, we can't loose Mojo!

Today is a day that will live in infamy.

I created it here because it was based on speculation, didn't want it in the main forum till we got some substantial news on it.

Box Office Mojo is dead!

 

[DAJK]

No no... no no... NO NO NO NO NO!!!

Please please PLEASE DON'T LET THIS BE TRUE!!

RIP my days of tracking box office

[Ethan Hunt]

This is truly tragic

How much would it be worth if someone took a screenshot of every BOM page?

 

I'm kicking myself for not doing something like that.

 

I mean, we should've all seen this coming after IMDB shut down the BOM forums, right???

People need to calm down. At least until we know for sure that it is actually shutting down.

I learned IMDB is an Amazon property, I always loved Amazon, it's harsh.

I will survive to it though, but that means my interest in Box Office will be quite diminished...

This reeks of 2011 when they killed the BOM forums.

 

I think the silence of all the BOM-associated twitter accounts is troubling too.

I'm looking at the stats at the bottom for how many users were online, anyone know what happened September 22, 2014? That was just a few weeks ago and over 2500 people were online! There wasn't even any big news going on.

Hey guys, I found a picture of the owner of IMDB!

 

Save it before it's taken down!

Nothing of importance I am guessing. The only thing on September 22 is that Maze Runner topped the weekend box office and they announced a sequel. Doubt if that would drive such traffic to this forum.

Yea, maybe it was a lot of spambots? Would a mod/admin know?

[Dark Jedi Master 007]

Wait, so has it been officially shut down yet or not?

[TServo2049]

We still don't know anything. At all.
