boxoffice
Theater ticket counter
Box office refers to the place in a theater or venue where tickets are sold, and by extension, to ticket sales or commercial success in entertainment.
A film's box office performance measures its revenue from ticket sales: The movie topped the box office this weekend.
As a modifier, it describes commercial appeal: a box office hit, box office poison.
Also spelled box-office or box office.
