An electronic, online marketplace where investors can buy and sell domestic (U.S.) box office receipt contracts, also known as DBOR contracts or movie futures. The exchange, approved by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission in April, 2010, allows investors to bet on how financially successful upcoming movie releases will be in theatres.
