History of the Box Office
Originally, the box office refers to the area where tickets to a concert, move, or show are sold to the public. Box office returns refer to the number of tickets sold or the amount of money the show has earned from ticket sales. Eventually, the term “box office” became synonymous to the best-selling shows and movies. The list of the top-selling movies were published on dailies, and now on various website, and it became benchmarks for the success of movies.
