r/boxoffice

Can you post your project here?

Posts must be related to the box office and movie business, and include a region flair. Low effort posts, memes, and misleading titles are not allowed. Self-promotion is explicitly banned.

Before you post: Rule 10 states 'No self promotion. Don't post a link to promote your website, blog or YouTube channel/videos'.

The rules, in their words

1. Posts should be related to the box office and the movie business.: Posts with the latest box office numbers, analysis, or speculation are encouraged. Movie business news is also allowed, such as a potential merger or quarterly financial results. Memes and humor posts are also not allowed. For such content, please use r/boxofficecirclejerk.
2. News about a film that can be a jumping-off point for box office predictions is also allowed.: This means trailers, a megathread for critic's reviews, release date announcements, etc. Make sure the film in question is getting a theatrical release, and that the studio reports box office numbers.
3. All posts need a region flair.: These flairs let people know what region your box office information is about. If the region does not have a specific flair, use the "International" flair and mention the region's name in the post title. If a post doesn’t have any particular region associated with it, use "Other".
4. Be respectful to others.: There's no reason to be disrespectful to others, especially since in the end we're just talking about movies here. Flaming and trolling are not allowed. If you disagree with someone about something, you can explain to them why your opinion is different instead of calling them a nasty name. Tagging users to argue about their opinions is also not allowed.
5. We prefer original and high-quality sources.: The sources in the Box Office Resources section are generally reputable. Websites on [this list](https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/wiki/common-clickbait) often post clickbait or rumors, so posts from those domains require manual approval from the moderators. You can get this approval by sending a message to the moderators with the post's URL. The moderators reserve the right to remove posts from other sources if they seem to be of dubious accuracy.
6. No duplicate content.: Unless the additional source offers new information, there should only be one post per a piece of new news. For questions and discussion topics, at minimum make sure nobody asked the same thing in the past day. The moderators reserve the right to remove other posts as well if they are too repetitive of past threads.
7. Post titles should reflect the post's content.: No misleading, clickbait-style, or unnecessarily opinionated titles. Feel free to make a post's title different from the title of its source, as long as that new title accurately represents what is in the post.
8. Tag spoilers for films that are less than a month old.: If a movie was released in the domestic market less than a month ago, tag all spoilers. Posting uptagged spoilers may result in a temp ban.
9. No low effort posts: Low effort text/poll posts featuring little or no analysis in the body of the text will be removed. This includes but not limited to: "What are your predictions for [insert movie]?" "Which movie will make more, [insert movie] or [insert movie]?" -"Which movie will open higher on [insert weekend]?" -Posts with only a poster (exceptions for Throwback Tuesday). We like for people to throw in a bit more effort in their posts including data, suggestions, analysis, etc.
10. No self promotion.: Don't post a link to promote your website, blog or YouTube channel/videos
11. "Let's reminisce about a movie" posts are only allowed on Tuesday: These posts need to include a "Throwback Tuesday" flair. This includes films released "on this date" in a previous year (we experimented with allowing such posts any day of the week but people didn't self-regulate). To avoid questions about the time, posts can start to appear at 12:00 a.m. EST on Tuesdays, until 11:59 p.m. EST. Anything posted before or after this time period will be removed. Movies have to be released in a period of 5 years - 1/5/10/15/20/25... years ago.
12. Don't post links to illegal streaming websites/pirated versions of films.: We don't want to promote piracy nor illegal streaming. Any violation of this rule will result in a ban for the user.
13. Posts about daily/weekend box office updates should be for movies with a certain threshold gross.: Daily grosses: Films must gross at least $500k or be in their first two weeks of release. Weekend Estimates: Films must gross at least $500k that weekend, or be in first two weekends of release. Films expanding from limited to wide release will have the above criteria applied from date of expansion Weekend Domestic Actuals: Films must be in the Top 3 or in their opening weekend. International Actuals must be at least $500k Exceptions will be made for some milestones (e.g. passing $100M).
14. Stay on topic.: This is a subreddit about numbers, not necessarily about the quality (or lack thereof) of a particular movie. Please remain on-topic and keep opinions/arguments/thoughts about unrelated aspects of the film off of these threads. Any comments that engage in culture war arguments/slapfights (race/gender/sex/"wokeness"/etc) will be removed and should be presumed to result in a ban. If your comment can be read as a dog whistle for decreased diversity/representation it will result in a ban.
15. Usage of Automated Tools for posts and comments is prohibited.: Usage of such automated tools for optimizing post times and schedules, automatically generating comments, etc. are not allowed and suspected use of these tools will result in a ban. We want to give each user a fair chance to create the discussions that they like.
