Short answers, pulled from the story.
The year 1920 marked the birth of a publication called The Reel Journal. It emerged as a weekly periodical for cinema professionals during an era when movie theaters were expanding across America.
By 1931, the magazine adopted a new identity known simply as Boxoffice. This name change reflected a shift in focus toward industry performance metrics rather than general film criticism.
In 2006, the National Association of Theatre Owners designated Boxoffice as their official publication. This partnership gave the magazine direct access to data from major theater chains nationwide.
A significant pivot occurred in 2012 when the magazine stopped printing movie reviews entirely. The decision to drop reviews allowed editors to concentrate exclusively on financial reporting.
The French media group Webedia purchased Boxoffice in 2015. Under new management, the company operated through BoxOffice Media LP.
