Each day for the next week, I'm going to post a little something about a feature or resource buried down inside indieWIRE (in part to prepare for a rework of the cover page of the site.) Today is Wednesday, so that means it's box office report day. But few people make use of the amazingly deep resource hidden behind that article, a sign that something needs to change on the front-page of the site.

Yeah, the full chart (with some nifty sorting features if you're on some of the newest browsers) is linked in from the article, but that's just part of the year worth of data collected up there.

But we also slice it in some ways that many people haven't discovered yet, such as by distributor and by film. Want to know how ThinkFilm or Newmarket Films are doing? How much money is Greg Pak bringing in self-distributing "Robot Stories"? And what have we written about those films and companies recently? All those answers are in there, updated weekly.

For those people handy with RSS or with a My Yahoo! homepage, each of those distributor titles and film titles will also give you a custom newsfeed from indieWIRE of articles we write that mention that company or project specifically (which means Tom Bernard would like this feed and Harvey Weinstein would like this one ... or is that vice-versa?)

So maybe that means the new indieWIRE front page should have a constant module with abstracted speciality film numbers (and perhaps the top distributor and film from our charts)?
