Boxarr - Box Office Tracking for Radarr

Automatically track and add trending box office movies to your Radarr library

---

Boxarr monitors weekly box office charts and seamlessly integrates with Radarr to ensure your media library always has what people want to watch. No more manual searching for popular movies - Boxarr handles it automatically.

🎯 Why Boxarr?

• Stay Current - Never miss trending movies that everyone's talking about
• Save Time - No more manually searching for and adding popular films
• Smart Automation - Automatically add movies based on your preferences
• Family Friendly - Keep your media server stocked with what people actually want to watch

🤔 Why Not Overseerr?

Overseerr is excellent for request-based libraries where users actively request content. Boxarr serves a different purpose:

• Automatic vs Request-Based: Boxarr automatically adds mainstream hits without anyone having to request them
• Box Office Focus: Tracks actual commercial success, not just user requests
• Zero User Interaction: Works silently in the background, no user accounts or requests needed
• Complementary Tool: Use both! Overseerr for specific requests, Boxarr for mainstream coverage

📋 Why Not Radarr Lists?

While Radarr lists are useful, Boxarr offers unique advantages:

• Box Office = Mainstream Appeal: Tracks movies with proven commercial success, ensuring broad appeal
• Unbiased Selection: Based on actual revenue data, not curator preferences or ratings
• Weekly Updates: Fresh data every week, not dependent on list maintainer updates
• Duplicate Prevention: Uses Radarr API to check existing movies before adding
• Historical Tracking: Build a library of movies that were culturally significant at release

Boxarr ensures your library includes the mainstream movies that dominated theaters - the films people are most likely to want to watch.
