About Phil Contrino

Phil Contrino has been the editor of Boxoffice.com for three years.

As an analyst of box office grosses, Contrino has been quoted by The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, MTV, USA Today, E!, TheWrap and io9.com. He has also appeared on the Fox Business Channel several times.

Contrino is a regular guest on the wildly successful Oscar Poker podcast with Hollywood-Elsewhere's Jeffrey Wells and Awards Daily's Sasha Stone.

Boxoffice.com's weekend predictions have become an industry standard. In May 2010, Contrino oversaw the launch of a new tracking system that allows data from Facebook, Twitter and thousands of websites to be used when predicting grosses. The site was spot on when it came to predicting the openings for such blockbusters as "Avatar," "Inception" and "Thor."
