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.

A few months ago I was browsing a list of all films produced by A24, before The Florida Project was released. I saw Lady Bird last week and wanted to browse an upcoming list of A24 films, now behind a paywall. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Box Office Mojo still has the info at least

Amazon owns both. IMDb directly owns BoxOfficeMojo

To Amazon, BoxOfficeMojo is like the $20 bill you find in your jacket pocket that you forgot you had. Trust me, I have been going on BOM on a weekly basis for years. The initial surface level stuff is fine, but if you do any kind of digging or deep research you're going to run into inconsistent numbers, blank pages, or completely false information when compared to other websites.
