indieWIRE:BOT™ tracks independent/specialty releases compiled from Rentrak Theatrical, which collects studio reported data as well as box-office figures from North American theatre locations. www.login.boxoffice.rentrak.com

indieWIRE:BOT™ utilizes per-screen average of the movies reported as an indicator of a film's current strength in the marketplace, its current comparative quality, and its current brand consciousness, rather than providing a scorecard for revenue watchers.

To be included in the indieWIRE Box Office Chart, distributors must submit information about their films to Rentrak at studiogrosses@rentrak.com by the end of the day each Monday.

Disclaimer - the above is not an inclusive list of all films. It reflects only those titles that meet indieWIRE:BOT's requirements for independent/specialty releases. This is not an accurate portrayal of Rentrak Theatrical's entire film rankings.
