Dashboard Shows Ticket Sales Slowly Climbing
as More Theaters Re-Open
Box Office Mojo by IMDbPro (boxofficemojo.com), the leading
online source of box office data, is powering information for CNN
Business’s recently launched COVID-19 Economic Recovery Dashboard.
The dashboard provides a wealth of information on the impact of
COVID-19 on our rapidly changing economy in an interactive and
visually engaging format. Easy-to-understand graphs and charts show
the impact on key financial and economic indicators including
mortgage rates, unemployment figures, and the amount Americans are
saving. Box Office Mojo data is also available in IMDb’s data
licensing products available through the AWS Data Exchange, making
it easy for companies to analyze entertainment trends
(developer.imdb.com).
As more theaters begin to re-open, Box Office Mojo is
illustrating a gradual but steady improvement in box office
figures, from their lowest ebb of $5,250 for the week of March
27-April 2, to $30.1 million in overall gross for the week of
September 4-10. The top three films for the week ending September
10 were Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated Tenet, which reaped $20.2 million in its opening
week, followed by The New Mutants
($4.5 million) and the Russell Crowe thriller Unhinged, which added $2.7 million for the week.
Over the past several months, box office tallies were impacted by
theater closures, stay-at-home orders, and the cancellation or
delay of major U.S. theatrical releases. Prior to the shutdown, the
week of January 17-23 was 2020’s best performing week, with more
than $245 million worth of tickets sold, coinciding with the
release of the year’s highest grossing film so far, Bad Boys for Life.
“Developers, companies, and other customers frequently ask us
how they can integrate IMDb’s authoritative movie, TV, and
celebrity content into their services, and when CNN Business
reached out to us about this opportunity we were thrilled to work
with them,” said Brian Carver, Head of Content and Licensing for
IMDb (www.imdb.com). “CNN Business is able to easily access the
weekly box office grosses from Box Office Mojo, and use these
numbers alongside other key financial indicators to paint a more
complete picture of the health of the American economy.”
