The theme of Pop vs Box is how a film gains or loses popularity over time compared to its original box office showing and other films released in the same year.

Example

84 Footloose B7 P19

Footloose was released in 1984 and finished 7th in box office rank for the year. This film is currently the 19th most searched for film for all films released in the year 1984.
