Greetings!

I have a vested interest in determining the weekend box office results
for each weekend as soon as possible.

Everyone knows that there are Box Office estimates set by the Motion
Picture Industry.  These are set early to mid week prior to the
weekend.

In addition, there are many sites such as boxofficemojo and
boxofficereport that have predictions, and the alter their predictions
Saturday morning based on Friday results, and then alter them again
Sunday morning after Friday and Saturday.

I need to know:

1.  Is there any real time or intraday reporting that would allow me
to know late Friday or very early Saturday how movies did on Friday?

2.  If Friday preliminary results are published on Saturday, when are
they published, where are they published, and by who?  And how can I
get that information immediately?

3.  Is there a site or location that predicts box office returns that
is extremely accurate...and when they are wrong, is it usually that
they predict too high or too low?

4.  Where do I get the official pre-weekend estimates from the Motion Picture
Association?  As well as the actual results.

Bottom line:  I need the DOMESTIC WEEKEND box office results prior to
the public, or at the earliest minute released to the public.

Please do not include EDI or Nielson in your results, as they do not
publish data to consumers prior to Sunday.

Thank you!

Clarification of Question by mvoulgarelis-ga on 06 Mar 2006 19:16 PST

I am suprised that no one has answered this.  If you are one of the
google researchers, can you give me some feedback.  Is my price too
low?  Is it that my request is unclear?  Is it that what I am asking
does not exist?  Just wondering why it is going unanswered.  Thanks!

I can't speak for other Researchers, but I gave this a shot, and I was
not able to find the information that you're seeking. That doesn't
necessarily mean that it isn't out there somewhere, of course.
