(Box data found on more films)

The theme of Pop vs. Box is how a films gains or loses popularity over time compared to its original box office showing and other films released in the same year.

Example ~

63 The Great Escape B16 P2

The Great Escape was 16th in box office rank for the year 1963 and is currently the 2nd most searched for film for that year.
