Question

Komal Nahta's Film Information which has been reporting about box office  and trade since 1973 is now more accessible after it went digital. They provide detailed territorial breakdown from each circuit, sub-circuit to each cities/ station and the total numbers of cinemas of each cities and their collection. 

This is more transparent and detailed as we get to see collection from each theatres of each cities. This is available when you signup for an account which is free. https://filminformation.com/box-office/weekly-collection/angrezi-medium-3-march-13-19-2020/

They also provide a top 10 stations collections- wise

*This info can be further used to dissect which film stars movies perform well on which cities, For example- Aamir Khan films open well in Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru and Lucknow cities. 

i haven't even seen BOI giving such detailed breakdown like this-
BENGAL circuit se CALCUTTA city se 22 cinema halls se itna collection huwa
BENGAL circuit se HOWRAH city se 11 cinema halls se itna collection huwa

Users are very much welcome to share film information articles.

Years ago, we had clearly added "BO source" in the profile details list & gathered a collective response from the forum users on which website they follow. BOI was the one with most votes so we went with BOI.

Personally I've been following BOI as Film Information was not made available.

If someone says FI is not credible then it's unnecessary. The industry follows it. So basically it is left to user's choice on what they follow.

Btw BOI did try this subscription model which eventually didn't work out. Here also Film Information, the free sign up gives very limited access. Rest all is cost oriented.

Silver - Rs. 3500/- gives access to latest box office figures which you get for free in BOI itself.
Gold - Rs. 10,000/- & has recurring monthly charges.

So yeah this subscription model could also be the reason for limited people accessing it.

Answer 2

BOI is the most credible source out there...for now. We can bash their stupid commentary, but they are the most authentic.
