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

Example ~

80 The Elephant Man B22 P11

The Elephant Man was released in 1980 and ranked 22nd in box office for that year. This film is currently the 11th most popular film searched for all films released in 1980.
