What is The Box Office Theory?

The Box Office Theory began in April 2011 as a blog dedicated to film industry analysis and statistics-driven box office commentary.

That November, a community of movie fans lost their home site and banded together to help build a new forum.

Several transitions and a few years later, that community is alive and well with over 2 million posts and hundreds of regular readers, members, friends, supporters, and generous donors.

In late 2015, we launched our Box Office Derby prediction game. You can read more about the history of the game and our take on it.

While we continue to improve the mobile-friendliness of the site, the launch of the Derby represents the fulfillment of a very popular request from the forum community — and a long-sought goal for The Box Office Theory team.
