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

Now even the wikipedia article says box office mojo was a website.

Thank you

 

This kind of loss puts everything into perspective : BOM is just a website.

I'm so sorry, mate.

I'm so sorry, mate.

 

Thanks. I will miss him so much, I'm devastated because he was a real friend..But I won't bother you with that, it's not the appropriate thread.

IMDB = Satan.

[Master Scottb]

Well we still have: http://www.the-numbers.com/ which is a pretty decent site.

Not as good as mojo but it's usable.

I agree fuck IMDB. But you know what, this very site took us in into its home when our people wandered the internet desert. And for too long at least for me I never explored the rest of house. So I need to rectify that and poke around what this site has to offer.

 

True but BO.com has ways to go before it becomes as easily accessible and extensive data including international numbers, showdowns etc as BOM.

Some of their data also doesn't match what BOM used to say, or at least Yearly box office, underestimating admissions for pretty much every year from 1990 to 2007. After that it's much closer though.

Any updates?

No one is thinking that way, it's just 100x better than what is out there right now.

Maan, say bye bye to tracking box office and summer games...

VGChartz did the same thing, they used to have a ton of historical and monthly sales data and then they walled it off behind an expensive paywall.

I made this thread in the suggestion forum.

 

It's for a subforum where everyone posts box office data they acquired from BOM over the years.

Seriously? I didn't visit it in years, I didn't know that

[CloneWars]

It is redirecting to IMDB.com now. I did not see the news until today. I think this seriously needs to be moved to the main forum.

 

Anyway, I can't believe this. BOM was an amazing website. Why would they just shut it down like this? Un-fucking believable. God, today is a nightmare.

[filmlover]

If the site somehow comes back, I'm not sure if I will laugh or cry.

Hopefully this is a misunderstanding

Does not seem that way.

Yep.

It's exclusive to media and retail people too. So yeah, I think all that BOM data is going to IMDBPro, just another greedy corporate money grab.
