About Me: Tom Atkinson

I’m Tom Atkinson a communications major at Westfield state. I decided to start this blog due to my own love of movies. The question of why box office to blog about and the reason being that I would be enjoying a movie and I’d always be curious if the movie made any money. I would constantly check box office results for my favorite movies and I soon discovered that box office for movies is an industry. They’re websites and companies that study box office and box office prospects of movies. Movies box office especially for bigger “tentpole movies”  are what is called tracked sometimes months in advance with box office forecasts being made months away from its release. So the whole thing is a fascinating topic to discuss for this blog.
