Box Office Receipts 1986 - 2007

February 26, 2008 | Filed under Distribution

The New York Times online edition published an interesting interactive graph this week called The Ebb and Flow of Movies - Box Office Receipts 1986 - 2007.

The undulating area of each shape in the graph represents the weekly total domestic gross (height) and the theatrical run (width) of an individual movie. Clicking any of these fluid shapes brings up details of that movie and a link to the review. This is a fun and handy reference piece for those of us who like to “follow the money.”
