Entertainment industry.)

What is Box Office Mojo?
Box Office Mojo is a website that tracks box office
revenue in a systematic, algorithmic way. The site was founded in 1999, and was
bought in 2008 by IMDb, which itself is owned by Amazon. The website is widely
used within the film industry as a source of data. From 2002–11, Box Office
Mojo maintained popular forums on its website.
History
Brandon Gray began the site in 1999. In 2002, Gray
partnered with Sean Saulsbury and grew the site to nearly two million readers.
In July 2008, the company was purchased by Amazon.com through its subsidiary,
the Internet Movie Database.
From 2002–11, Box Office Mojo had forums, which were
a popular place for box office "fanatics", and the site at one time
was home to several popular movie games and quizzes, tests (e.g., Fantasy Box
Office (created in 2006) and Create a Year of Movies), until these were
summarily canceled for undisclosed reasons. Box Office Mojo had forums with
more than 16,500 registered users. On November 2, 2011 the forums were officially
closed along with any user accounts, and users were invited to join IMDb's
message boards, even though not all the same features were available there. The
IMDB forums were subsequently closed February 20, 2017.
Tracking still follows closely to the day by day,
actual tabulation of distributors, making it possible to see the general trend
of a film's "earnings trajectory".
Box Office Mojo International
The international section covers the weekly box
office of 50 countries and includes historical box office information from
three more, as well as provides information for box office results for
individual films from up to 107. The site also creates an overall weekend
chart, combining all box office returns from around the world, excluding the United
States and Canada. The overall weekend chart tracks the Top 40 films as well as
approximately fifty additional films with no ranking.
Box Office Mojo International also reports the
release schedule of upcoming films for Australia, the Czech Republic, France,
Germany, Japan, Lithuania, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Norway, Russia and
the CIS, South Korea, China, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and India. The site
additionally has yearly and all time features for its various territories.
However, Box Office Mojo does not include all the
international films, especially some with high international box office, in the
Mojo Yearly and All Time Worldwide Box Office Charts.
