A shout out to the new the-numbers search pages, for those who look up box office totals for Movie Mogul....

The good news is that the search gives you a clean response with the data you need.  All moves containing the search words are listed, so "The Hunger Games" or "Harry Potter" wil give you the entire franchise at one time.

The bad news is that it has a littlle problem with some titles with colons...fine put in the first part of the title.

The biggest dowside is that the-numbers never stops the counting, so reissues such as SW13D are added into the original total, while HSX is looking for the reissue,  POLAR and a couple of the IMAX films earned box that HSX/ERC does not count. 

Having said that, usually a single paste gets you to the correct information in one hit, rather than the 2 or 3 step process in HSX.

This is a good job by Bruce Nash and his team.

why don't you just use BOM? {nm} RazorHawk Jan 11, 08:09

Crusto-Chango. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 11, 09:38

Or the official source HSX > Advanced Search. {nm} Antibody Jan 11, 11:35

That is an Option - but Nowhere as Fast to Use. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 11, 11:46

We already had this discussion. HSX is the only wayif you want to be 100% correct. {nm} Antibody Jan 12, 09:45

100% using my Method which is SIGNIFICANTLY Faster. Used Advanced Search lots for other stuff. <INSIDE>. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 10:10

You will not get 100% using BOM. {nm} Antibody Jan 12, 11:14

Really? Please Check the Bank Accounts of the ROTO Ports. Sure Looks like 100% to me. ZERO (0) Wrong. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 13:50

I get support emails now and then. Here's just one example to prove that BOM is not 100%. Antibody Jan 12, 15:11

Advanced Search would be VASTLY Improved if it Allowed for Google Chrome use. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 16:44

Antibody, no offense but if I am in a search result in HSX, how do I get to the next one in ONE step? Especiallly if it is delisted. {nm} StarBond Fund Jan 11, 14:39

Once you select Active & Delisted, it stays Active & Delisted ohe search results page. {nm} Antibody Jan 12, 09:49

Sure - please see <INSIDE> Post Above for why Advanced Search is INFERIOR. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 10:11

Let me know when you want to do a Movie Mogul Challenge - You will get SMOKED every Time. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 10:14

Movie Mogul does not have a time limit. {nm} Antibody Jan 12, 11:17

HUH? Time is Money. The Challenge was for a Head-To-Head Challenge. Let me Know when You are Up for it. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 13:47

You said Movie Mogul challlenge, not who can search for the box office the fastest {nm} JDolphin Jan 12, 14:03

YES - a Movie Mogul Challenge - as in a Head-To-Head Challenge. That's what a Challenge is. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 14:09

The Key to Winning a Movie Mogul Head-To-Head Challenge is OBVIOUSLY Who Can Search The Fastest. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 14:11

You are obviously wrong. You are only competing against yourself in Movie Mogul. {nm} Antibody Jan 12, 14:23

Not Wrong - Two (2) Laptops Side-By-Side. You do Movie Mogul using A/S - ROTO using BOM. You LOSE. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 14:36

Nobody cares but you. You get H$2000 whether it takes you 5 secs or 23 hours. {nm} Antibody Jan 12, 14:48

Just Saying - for those that want to do it FASTER, use BOM which allows for Google Chrome use. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 16:44

WRONG-O, BUCKO. The Challenge was a Head-To-Head Challenge to see which is Faster. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 16:42

the movie mogul game is about getting it right - there is nothing in the game that makes you search fast - that's your choice not the game {nm} JDolphin Jan 12, 14:35

Already Said - Time Is Money. Speed matters. Benchmark is 100% Accuracy with SPEED. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 14:38

if time is money why are you wasting it on a game when you could buy several stocks in that time that will make you more than 10,000.. {nm} JDolphin Jan 12, 14:45

Regularly Trade 70,000,000 Shares per Week - Zip through Movie Mogul in Seconds using BOM & Google Chrome. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 16:49

If you were truely a great player and not just a Drama Queen... you would know the box offices already and wouldn't have to look them up {nm} RazorHawk Jan 12, 16:11

Fuddle Duddle. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 12, 16:38

Thanks for Advising us of that. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jan 11, 09:41
