I only ask as I find it a great site providing info not only of US and A and UK box office, but also of Australia which is a rare beast indeed unless you want to pay for it. However every year about this time they seem to not pay their server bills or something as they go 'off the air' which is rather annoying.

Anyone know of these guys and what's going on?

Are you in Europe yet?

Yes. [Wink]

Don't know when they'll be back online. I'm trying to find an old email address I once used to see what's going on. It's a great site and lists all release dates (until about June next year) and has a list of previous years releases also. Updates dates constantly and racks box office.

Sorry I missed you in Sydney...it was a quick day-and-a-bit visit.

Edit: Just got word they're getting it back on air before the end of the week.

Thanks Phil. I'll take a look.

Things must be worse than they first thought at MM as they're still not back. I spoke to one of the guys there and apparently (and I don't know how this happens) someone's taken the domain name from them. Sounds still like they didn't pay their bill.

OK...I was right...they didn't get their bill (or something) and someone else took the domain name.

They're back, but now they're at www.moviemarshal.com.au

They've been back a few days but I said I'd let them get it mostly working again before I let you guys know.

BTW, as far as infilm.com.au being a good second, I found them to be almost useless. They rarely update their box office results and when they do two weeks in a row have exactly the same take...not reliable at all.

Anyway, glad they're back...take a look.

We now resume our scheduled programming...
