I'm curious...why wasn't Mojo able to return to what it was? I remember it went awry because of a virus, but surely somebody got that fixed...?

[Olive]

tracking numbers, international nuumbers, etc

[iceroll]

A more organized database of numbers that's easier to navigate.

[Cedarpoint1111]

The best part of the site in my opinion is the long range forecast.

[CJohn]

Sorry Shawn. I really usually only come here because of the foruns. I usually also read your analisys to the weekend box office and heard one or 2 podcasts. But the foruns are the main reason.

Pretty sure they just took the opportunity to get rid of the headache of the forums. They may have even blamed the virus on a disgruntled member of said forums. Either way, it became pretty obvious after IMDb took over that the forums were not their first(or even last) priority.

I misread this topic as what would you like to see on boxoffice.com I guess the Twitter index sort of attracts me but I'm pretty skeptical of how accurate it is. The main draw is definitely the forums, I go to boxofficmojo for the data since it's much better organized and more detailed.

I like the Fb, Twitter, trailer views, and that sort of stuff. I am still old school boxoffice so it is cool learning the new ways to track it.

A reliable overseas weekend summary as early as possible during the summer and holidays..Re-tweet things like major release date changes. Maybe a twitter account that does nothing but report major release date announcements.That's all I can think of at the moment.

I like that we get the numbers quicker than any other place and I like that page Shawn posted some time ago about time-line of reports or news articles.

No you didn't misread. You're fine.

I'm sure they got rid of the virus, but the forum software was ancient and probably got broken. Plus the forum kept breaking more and more, and IMDB didn't want to spend any resources to fix it.

I remember back in the day Sean telling me that the forum software was a very customized version of phpBB. He told me that it was so customized and different from stock phpBB that he could not update the forum software (hence why it was so old). He said that if someone ever attempted to update it, the forum would probably break and info (posts, topics, member info) would be lost. My personal theory on what happened was that IMDb seeing as the BOM forum was so old and full of security problems tried to update the forum software. As a result the forum broke and they lost all the info and decided that it wasn't worth trying to start over from scratch.

This. And though I'm sure this is unlikely to change anytime soon, I'd love if the twitter analysis was for free. I know it used to be (along with other features) until the subscription service was instilled.

[Ezen Baklattan]

The Twitter tracking can prove helpful when I make weekend predictions, so I'll go with that.

[Totem]

I'm a fan of the long range forecast, though I can never seem to find those weekly articles that were updated with new release forecasts.More accessible BO numbers if possible. Shawns weekend analysis is really good, maybe an International small analysis weekly.

[Walt Disney]

I'm always interested in articles about the big movies studios (The Big Six + Lionsgate and MGM) and what projects they are working on. It's hard to find information about projects in ther infancy, so that would be a great resource.

Bump.
