The site has been quietly redirected to its parent company
BoxOfficeMojo.com has been shut down, as the site currently redirects to IMDb.
Box Office Mojo was bought by IMDb in 2008 and seems to have been absorbed by its parent company, which itself is owned by Amazon.
Box Office Mojo is a critical tool for movie industry executives in Hollywood who look to the site for real-time box office results and historical and comparative data. It was founded in 1999 as a three-person company headquartered in Burbank by Brandon Gray.
IMDB has a vast collection of data on films, but is lacking in detailed data on box office metrics. It is unknown if or how IMDB will incorporate the box office data into its system. The layout for Box Office Mojo is set up solely for an in depth look at box office metrics, while IMDB has many roles, including showing trailers, cast lists and fan commentary.
IMDB has not responded to request for comment by TheWrap. There has been no comment from the company via Twitter or on the site itself.

Why don't they fold the tracking stuff into IMDB?

I didn't even know that site existed, so they probably should've marketed better

BoxOfficeMojo was fantastic, this blows.

Late Saturday night, Mojo reappeared, but the site’s homepage, which is typically stuffed with stories after a weekend of new releases, was notably analysis free. On Twitter, Mojo’s editor Ray Subers announced that there were no personal issues behind the blip—if it was a blip—but that an explanation would not be forthcoming.

When IMDb purchased Mojo in 2008, readers were assured that the box-office site would remain a standalone business. IMDb did not immediately respond to EW‘s request for comment.
