Look at this BoxOfficeMojo:



Now there is another company RENTRACK who gives figures to BollyHungama (Taran), now they are reporting less for BB here:

USA / Can - $6.9 M

UK - $2.16 M

Now i never heard of RenTrack before Taran introduced them, Why This LESS Reporting from 1 Overseas source & BOM the other local source of USA/CAN??

LMAO. 🤣 Is that even an actual question.
Boxoffice Mojo is the ONLY reliable site for boxoffice collections. It is the IMDB of boxoffice.

You don't have to live here to know about BOMJ. You just have to be a hollywood fan (which i am guessing you are not). 😉

It was just a question coz 2 Sources from Overseas were reporting, i just ask which one is more reliable, i don't think i made fun of BOMJ, did i?

I knew about BOMJ, but because now figures are reported different & you guys are from abroad, so i ask here, never knew i m stupid enough that i don't watch holly films & i don't know about BOMJ's Authenticity.

Box office Mojo is reliable 100% for Hollywood movies. And even they get the numbers from 'Rentrak' only. Rentrak is a company that tracks movie collections from all the theaters in US. Each and every theater enters the number in Rentak which is updated as a database. The database is then available for everyone who have subscribed to them ( mostly studios, websites, distributors etc).


With Box office Mojo, one needs to see what they are reporting clearly. There are "estimates" initially and then there are the final numbers. The problem creeps in for non US folks who fail to see the difference in reporting. If its Rentrak eventually all numbers will be same, no under reporting.
