Box Office

Trading box office markets just got easier. The Box Office panel loads everything you need — current weekend estimates, weekly history, market probabilities, and comparable films — directly inside Polymarket.

Open it via the Box Office icon in the right-side panel navigation.

Box Office Panel

What the Panel Shows

Movie Card

At the top: movie poster, title, studio, rating (PG / PG-13 / R), and genre.

Current Estimate & Context

The main stats block:

Field
Description

EST

Current weekend gross estimate

Market consensus

Most likely outcome bracket based on current Polymarket pricing (e.g., <44m at 93¢)

Week number

Which weekend the film is in (Wk1, Wk2, Wk3...)

Budget

Production budget for context

Legs

Total gross ÷ opening weekend — higher means stronger audience retention

Competition

Other films opening the same weekend

Weekly Performance History

  • Prev: how the predecessor/franchise film performed at opening

  • Wk1, Wk2, Wk3... with actual grosses and % change between each week

Estimate Range Slider

A visual range bar showing where the current estimate sits between the low and high projection.

Market Outcome Probability Bars

The panel shows what Polymarket is currently pricing for each revenue bracket:

Instantly shows the market's conviction — and where mispricings might exist.


Drop Comps

The Drop Comps section shows comparable films with their opening weekend gross and Wk2/Wk3 percentage drop — your benchmark for whether the current film is holding better or worse than similar releases:

Film
Opening Weekend
Drop

Moana 2 (2024)

$139.8M

-63%

Lilo & Stitch (2025)

$146.0M

-58%

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

$146.4M

-37%

Inside Out 2 (2024)

$154.2M

-34%

Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022)

$107.0M

-57%

A Minecraft Movie (2025)

$162.8M

-52%

If the current film is dropping faster than comparable titles, the lower revenue brackets are likely.


How to Use It

For weekly gross range markets (e.g., "Will [Movie] gross <$44M in Weekend 3?"):

  1. Check the current estimate and range slider — is consensus already near the target?

  2. Look at drop comps — if similar family films dropped 55–63% by Wk3, what range does the current trajectory imply?

  3. Compare market probability bars against the comps — is the 93¢ on <44M justified, or is there value on a higher bracket?

For cumulative gross markets:

  1. Use the legs multiplier — 2.35x legs means the film is expected to earn 2.35× its opening weekend in total

  2. Track weekly decline rate vs. comparable films
