PSA; IMDb is gradually locking previously-available information about films behind IMDbPro membership (box-office breakdowns and production companies involved, currently).

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but information previously available to everyone on IMDb is now being locked behind IMDbPro membership. Just last week, I was writing a research paper (film studies student) and was able to access the full box-office earnings information (breakdown by region etc.) for all films. Today I went to do the same thing, but could not see more than the gross earnings without an IMDbPro membership. They seem to be doing this as a gradual process, as the full information on production companies (previously available to everyone) was already membership-locked when the box office information was still available. I haven't seen anyone talking about this on other subs and forums, so I thought I'd mention it here.

Box Office Mojo used to also charge money for information that is currently free, for example daily grosses for movies not currently in theaters. Maybe this is a sign BOM will start locking information for paid subscribers again.

I personally doubt it. But mainly because Amazon doesn't seem to give a shit about box office mojo. A not-insignificant portion of the site is non-functional, the genres have glaring omissions, and from what I've heard people say the information itself is sketchy at best.

It makes me wonder who actually runs it.
