The Numbers is a film industry data website that tracks box office revenue in a systematic, algorithmic way, a publication of Nash Information Services LLC. The company also conducts research services and forecasts incomes of film projects.[2]

History

[edit]

The site was launched in 1997 by Bruce Nash.[3][4]

On March 21, 2020, the Numbers released a statement that because of movie theater closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, "We don't expect much box office reporting in the short term" and did not report the usual daily box office estimates due to lack of box office data from film studios.[5]

In March 2026, the site announced a major rebuild and migration to a new infrastructure, with legacy features returning gradually.[6]
