The Box Office Mojo issues thread. Brad Brevet is the new editor, the Simanton reign is over.

No, seriously you STFU. 

Why?

 

[Godzilla]

UGH what's also annoying is that they did this right before the Wknd numbers. You could have at least done it on Monday/Tuesday. But not on FREAKIN Friday!

C'mon guys, when BOM comes back up, it will be better looking than ever in its revamped form!!

(I am talking about the IMDB background)

[tawasal]

Yeah, I've visited them before. The main advantage they had was tracking DVD sales and a record of the largest budgets. But they don't have international numbers, they don't have the quick sorting tools BOM had, and they don't keep track of release date changes.

 

But I guess they're the best we have right now. *Sigh*

They do report international numbers in a weekly basis and in each movies page you can find it's total international numbers. With release date changes they report them as news and don't have page for them I think. You can't set up many things the way you want, but they still have a lot of data. 

[Frozen]

If they close the site, I say we riot.

[tawasal]

Why?

 

 

Why can't I state a fact like she has hot tits/boobs, I don't even need to see her nude pics to say that.

If it is going to go down, we should at least celebrate by talking about what our favorite BOM moments were: 



Mine: 
Finding the site while looking for ROTS' Box Office was life changing. 
Finding the Forums. 
Finding CAYOM. 
The wait for IJ4 to come out 
TDK's BO Run
The Summer of 2009 
Inception's BO Run
 

Honorable Mention
Avatar (I hated being wrong about it, but who couldn't like a film breaking the record).

In a dream world this would all be a ploy to drive up the value of BOM and then Amazon would offer it to the highest bidder.

 

That's a far better way to make money than IMDb pro subscriptions. WTF?

[Dark Jedi Master 007]

I'm thinking about what kind of backlash this could cause against Amazon. They might be losing a lot of customers out of protest over this whole ordeal.

BOM's huge in the BO world and maybe even the movie world, but in Amazon's world, it's nothing. I doubt they'll lose a lot of customers over it.

Why bold?

 

Nasty.

 

Bye though, Felicia.

Highlighting what I said for you.

 

Nasty is fine with me.

I am out, I need my nasty sleep. 

[grey ghost]

Box office nerds get no respect.

 

If Facebook was shut down it would look like the Arab Spring outside.

[Dark Jedi Master 007]

Ok, you two, just let it go for now. No need to argue on what might be a sad day. 

[grey ghost]

If they won't lose many customers over this then how many could they possibly gain for IMDb pro?

 

I'm trying to figure out a motive here.

My IMDb rep got off the phone with me immediately after I asked about #BoxOfficeMojo

Lmfao. I'm super extra and problematic, hahaha.

 

I needa stop.

 

My fave memory from BOM was TDK, New Moon, AND DH2. Especially DH2 because I called that shit right.

 

Avatar was annoying though. I wanted TDK to stay above.
