...Where are the BO numbers???? Isn't that the point of the site?

 

I'm so glad the-numbers is still here.

Your tune about numbers will change once Lab Rats lands on Disney+ and becomes their most watched title, proving once and for all it was ahead of its time.

A guy on Twitter named Adam B Vary posted a few of the new updates regarding the BOM Redesign Site, including:

• You can't adjust individual films for ticket price inflation anymore.

• All data for people & studios has moved to IMDb Pro

• Franchise rankings are now entirely on IMDb Pro, but only with domestic grosses. So, for example, it's impossible to know the global take for the MCU.

And another user on Twitter mentioned:

• No theater counts for the week, no genres section.

• Records page is no longer comprehensive and only shows the top 200.

Brand/Franchise rankings are paywalled now.

 

No MCU list. No DCEU list.

 

Awful. 😭

And this makes the site better how?

We should start a petition to get the old site back and running

 

At least we still have the-numbers

[Legion Again]

The premier data resource for us has been paywalled/gutted. Worst day for BO lovers since I joined the site, iirc.

The good question tend to be, this make the site more monetizable how ? For some feature missing that are not behind IMDBpro could just be temporary.

 

Does anyone had some program using the API, do they still work like before ?

[John Marston]

Hopefully someone can start another site and put all the info there in a neat way. Nobody will use BOM anymore then

The other option is to change it to ScorseseTheory so we can weed out the deplorables.

SilentComedyTheory where we just talk about Chaplin and Keaton movies. Thin the herd very quickly.

Or AmusementParkTheory. Since that's what movie theaters are now anyway, it seems.

All those things seem like positives.
