Did you know that BoxOfficeMojo and IMDB are owned by the same company?

Posted by: elchan (a.k.a elchan2012) on Feb 23, 11:22

We live and die by BOMOJO numbers, but however nobody considers IMDB a reliable source. Do we not think they share the same database?

Yes, Amazon owns both of them, but we do not live and die by Boxofficemojo. HSX uses ERC as the official numbers site. ndmaster Feb 23, 11:28

Hmm, obviously I meant this for the Movie board. Most people I see posting BO, always refere to BOMOJO, so that's what I assumed. elchan Feb 23, 12:01

boxofficemojo is free & more accessible, while anything beyond basic info on ERC is only available to subscribers. {nm} RogerMore Feb 23, 12:24

Anyone can post to IMDB, that's why it's not considered reliable. {nm} JDolphin Feb 23, 12:35

This is true, but it's peer reviewed, errors don't stay uncorrected. Also any changes need to be approved by IMDB staff. {nm} elchan Feb 23, 17:06

That sounds like their PR - but from there terms of use "IMDb has the right but not the obligation to monitor and edit or remove any JDolphin Feb 23, 17:30

I've made changes to a few pages on IMDB, and they don't get in until they are approved. And as for peer review, what stays is usually the elchan Feb 23, 18:34

I've also submitted some successful changes to IMDb. The real problem there is they are very understaffed. {nm} DTravel Feb 23, 23:01

I apologiize and Thanks for the update. I'm glad they tightened up their quality control. {nm} JDolphin Feb 26, 14:03
