Box Office Mojo Worldwide Scraper
Scrape worldwide box office rankings from Box Office Mojo, from any release year or the all-time chart, up to a million movies per run. Every movie comes with its rank, lifetime gross, release year, and total theatres. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Box Office Mojo is the definitive public source for movie box office performance, but it has no official API. This Actor reads the worldwide rankings pages directly, filtered by release year or pulled from the all-time list, and returns each movie in one consistent row. You get the data you need for market analysis, journalism, or fan projects without writing a single scraper.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your Release Year is a valid four-digit year. If the year has no worldwide data on Box Office Mojo, the run will return an empty dataset. Try leaving the year empty to test with the all-time chart.
The run is taking too long.
Lower the Maximum movies value. Scraping hundreds of thousands of rows takes time because the Actor respects the source website. Start with a smaller number like 100 to verify your setup.
Some movies are missing from the output.
Box Office Mojo may paginate long lists. If you set a very high maximum, ensure your run has enough time and memory. The Actor will collect up to the number you set or until the list ends.
I see an error about the website structure.
Box Office Mojo occasionally updates its page layout. If the Actor fails, wait a few hours and retry. If the problem persists, report it through the Actor's Apify page so the maintainer can update the scraper.
