What is Box Office Game?

Box Office Game is a daily trivia puzzle about movie history. Each day picks a past weekend and asks you to name the five highest-grossing films at the US box office that weekend, from number one down. Clues about each film's distributor, gross and weeks in release are revealed as you go.

The game draws on decades of box office data, so a day might be about a 1985 weekend or one from last year.
