Updates to Box Office on IMDb Title Pages & IMDbPro

• Full Cast and Crew
• Release Dates
• Official Sites
• Company Credits
• Filming Locations
• Technical Specs

Indeed, I use the reference and combined views as well, way more helpful than the standard view, and yet there is no box office section at all there now. Can't keep logging out every time I want to see a couple of numbers

That would be the same thing as logging out,
since I'd change it back to reference view afterwards.

I see the box office section on many title pages, but not yet on others,
such as Paddington 2 or Murder on the Orient Express.

We have located the display bug behind this
and it should be fixed within the next day or so. 
Thanks for the problem report

O, he sent me an e-mail message.
I'm not the only one to receive it either,
but the only other subscriber known by me to have received it is ACT_1,
as revealed in a GS topic that was recently posted and recently erased.

Hi ACT_1,
Yes, please don’t post on GetSatisfaction regarding Reference View. 
From: Bachhuber, Nic

For free access to other box office information, we recommend our sister site http://www.boxofficemojo.com/ and we will be looking at adding better linkage to/from IMDb and Box Office Mojo in 2018.

We are also trying to keep the interface as simple and consistent as possible across all the different IMDb platforms (web, mobile web, apps, and to some extent, IMDbPro) both from how it looks to customers and how the technology operates behind-the-scenes.  We are going back to basics in a number of areas, including news. Once we have everything on the same modern platform where it can be more easily maintained, we can move forward building extra features which work everywhere instead of the current almost random experience across every IMDb interface (which means a feature is sometimes implemented five or six times). 

We accept that people will not be happy with all of the short term changes, but what would be worse is allowing the old systems to continue to slow progress.  If you look through Get Satisfaction you will see hundreds of old threads complaining about inconsistencies, bugs, complexities on IMDb -- the root cause in most of these cases (and the reasons they are not easy to fix) are the old software systems. It is time for the old systems to finally go. 

I don't have any problem with most things of what you call the new approach.

I can't explain a statement like "this simplifies IMDb and allows us to focus more and move quickly on the features which matters most to people". To me, this suggests IMDb doesn't look after all groups of different people with different wishes any more, but I hope I'm misreading or misunderstanding something here.

Next we can tie all three sites better together, get things down to one underlying system, and enhance box office related searches across all three sites.

Sorry about missing this until now.  It is not on the site currently.  Eventually it will need to go into the same single box office system which will power Box Office Mojo, so long term, yes, it should be available again.

Since it hasn't come up on this thread and I don't understand anything about this, can somebody tell me whether or not admission numbers of films are still available to the public? If not, can somebody tell me whether or not this will change in the (near) future?

Does anybody have an answer to these questions?

@Col_Needham​ 

so long term, yes, it should be available again. 

Any update on this? After all, it's been five years.

@Marco​  We ultimately went in a different direction with this, sorry.  In the Box Office Mojo rewrite we ended-up focussing on grosses only so the unified system we intended to use still does not exist. 

@Col_Needham​ Well, thanks for the answer. That said, the admission numbers are still available via the edit pages. (I'm not sure if it's still possible to add/edit them though) To me, that suggests it would be possible and perhaps even relatively simple to make this data available on the 'regular' IMDb. Perhaps it would be a good idea to put it on a roapmap/wish list/backlog? AFAIK, IMDb is the only site that has this kind of information, so it'd be a shame if it would disappear.
