What is Box Office Game?
Box Office Game is a movie trivia game about ticket sales. Each game shows a weekend, and your job is to name the top five movies at the US domestic box office for that weekend. You can reveal hints for any row, but each one costs points, and the game ends after 10 wrong guesses or once all five movies are found.
Your score combines points for each movie with bonus points, so a careful game with few misses scores higher. The idea comes from the Blank Check podcast, the film data comes from TMDB and the box office figures come from The Numbers.
