In the world of movie box office numbers, IMDM.com has bought Boxofficemojo.com, the largest website of it's kind that caters to providing box office numbers. This is quite big for entertainment websites.

Dear Reader,

We are excited to announce that Box Office Mojo has
been acquired by IMDb.com, Inc., a subsidiary of
Amazon.com, Inc. This is a major landmark in the nine
year history of our company.

Box Office Mojo will continue to operate as a
standalone business and produce analysis and the most
comprehensive box office tracking freely available
online. Our headquarters will also remain in the Los
Angeles area.

We expect this change to allow us to expand our
offering to readers like you by leveraging IMDb's
comprehensive database of movies and those who make
them. IMDb is committed to further developing the Box
Office Mojo brand and building upon the success of the
past nine years.

Our readers have been a vital component in our
success, and we are grateful for your continuing
support. Please feel free to email us with your
questions or feedback at mail@boxofficemojo.com.

We realize this is important news for our community,
and we are confident that this acquisition will
benefit Box Office Mojo readers and provide us with
many opportunities for future growth.

Regards,

Brandon Gray

I guess the site is still in progress because it looks messy for now.
