I want to find the top 50 box office results in the USA (on the internet.) I am just interested. I am not professionally involved in the industry. I do not want to sign up for anything. I do not want to provide my credit card number.  
The places I used to find these results have all changed- they want me to sign up or provide my credit card number. Please can anyone help?

IMDB is now asking for you to sign up for something.

As for [www.the-numbers.com](http://www.the-numbers.com) - I cannot see the weekly charts.  
I am sorry that I did not put this in the OP- I want the weekly chart

Nope. I thought it was at first, but it’s clearly just the weekend numbers. You can get daily or weekend numbers, but not the whole week. Weird.

Well, obviously, I am no help! Sorry.

I think you sign up for an account but it’s free (or was). I can “lurk” and look up a movie, no problem. But as soon as I want to look at the message boards, I have to sign in.

I’ve never paid a penny for the service. However, I know they also have something which is called “imdbPro,” which I guess is for directors, casting agents, and other ppl with professional aims.

Try this: I looked at it, no problem, without logging in.

You can toggle between weekly and all time.

As far as I know, studios do not compile “weekly” results as they only care about weekend results. I think you’re asking for something that doesn’t exist.

Variety magazine TWDuke beat me to it.

Define ‘full weekly chart’.

Do you want all films currently in domestic release? World Wide numbers? Only the top ten? Do you want the national total or a breakdown theatre by theatre, market by market?
