BOX OFFICE

n. , informal 1. The place at movies and theaters where tickets may be purchased just before the performance instead of having ordered them through the telephone or having bought them at a ticket agency. No need to reserve the seats; we can pick them up at the box office. 2. A best selling movie, musical, or drama (where the tickets are all always sold out and people line up in front of the box office). John Wayne's last movie was a regular box office. 3. Anything successful or well liked. Betsie is no longer box office with me.
