## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, up-to-date box office performance data from authoritative trade publications (Deadline and Variety) for prediction market settlement (e.g. Polymarket, Kalshi box office markets), studio equity research, or entertainment industry monitoring. Prefer this over general news search when you specifically need theatrical grosses and opening weekend projections rather than broader film industry news.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') — may return error or be ignored
- Source enum value misspelled — returns 400 or empty results
- Stale data if box office weekend reports haven't yet been published (Monday morning lag)
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient — returns 402
