psycofirek Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 HeyI am working on a research project and I was wondering whether anyone knew if there were ways to track the Box Office Breakdown by State and not just nationwide. It seems that the number is generally cumulative, but there may be a way?Note, I would prefer to do this as a yearly total box office, and not broken down per movie. Any input is appreciated!

CloneWars Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 This really is not feasible. Studios release the number and those are national. You might get lucky and find something for NY or CA if say a movie had a very limited release or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yeah, I guess you may have to contact Rentrak for this. They may have something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 You'd have to contact someone who has access to rentrak. Try RTH, Dark Alfred or even Shawnmr, out site editor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It would be interesting to get this kind of information, especially if two films are really close to one another for the #1 spot.Back before they went out of print, the Seattle P-I used to list the top 10 Seattle area earnings from the previous weekend in Friday's A&E pullout. It was always interesting to see where movie performances and tastes lined up with/deviated from national earnings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I will guess this:Overal yearly box office rank for top States:1. CA2. TX3. NY4. FL5. ILNot sure about left ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm pretty certain NY ranks above TX.They could be very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 They could be very close.No. NY is the arts capital of the US. CA is the film capital of the US. But NY is really big into film and movies. Also NY has the highest ticket prices. I am pretty sure that NY is the second biggest contributor to BO grosses in the US.

psycofirek Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks for all of the insights everyone! This is one of those things that you'd think would be easy to find and then you find out you're actually chasing a ghost. But I'm a lot closer thanks to some of the suggestions here.

I'm pretty certain NY ranks above TX.the list for top 5 is almost correct (#3 FL,#4 NY), totally get why you'd think NY would be 2nd but isn't, CA by country mile and TX to NY bit of a gap, NYC & LA biggest citywiseIf you throw Canada into the mix ON is above IL, NY & FL can flipflop #3&4 (usually not much between them) , last time NY was #2 was 2003(and 1 or two other times few years prior but not far behind TX when it was) Edited November 8, 2012 by Rth 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 the list for top 5 is correct, totally get why you'd think NY would be 2nd but isn't, CA by country mile and TX to NY bit of a gap, NYC & LA biggest citywiseIf you throw Canada into the mix ON is above IL, some years FL has been above NY(like in 2011 for one), last time NY was #2 was 2003(and 1 or two other times few years prior but not far behind TX when it was)That is a huge surprise.

lab276 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) How would NSW rank? Or Australia for that matter, seeing as we have fewer people than Texas. Edited November 8, 2012 by lab276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I would say NSW 5th ahead of Illinois. Australia 2nd behind California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
