Terms of Use
Last updated: September 18, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using BoxOfficeLoco, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
2. What BoxOfficeLoco Is
BoxOfficeLoco is a free, informational awareness project of Veterans for Peace. It compares the number of on-screen killings in popular films to the human cost of real-world war, to prompt reflection on how entertainment portrays violence. It is a resource for thought and discussion — not a data authority.
3. About the Figures — Estimates, Not Authoritative Data
IMPORTANT: The kill counts and war-casualty figures on this site are estimates compiled from third-party sources. They are presented for awareness and education and should not be treated as authoritative, academic, or definitive figures.
You acknowledge that:
- On-screen "kill counts" are counting judgments that vary by source and methodology; where a count is not from a cited source we mark it as an estimate.
- War-casualty figures are approximate historical estimates (this site frames them as U.S. casualties over a war's span) and are debated among historians.
- Comparisons are illustrative — a rate over time, not a precise equivalence — and are meant to provoke reflection, not to state a scientific finding.
- The data may contain errors or omissions; if you spot one, please tell us.
4. Acceptable Use
Please use the site lawfully and respectfully. Do not attempt to disrupt, overload, probe, or gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems, and do not scrape or reuse the content in a way that misrepresents it or violates the rights of the underlying sources.
5. Accounts
If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your password confidential, for the activity under your account, and for providing accurate information.
6. No Warranty and Limitation of Liability
The site and its content are provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, BoxOfficeLoco and Veterans for Peace are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its figures. Your use of the site is at your own discretion.
7. Intellectual Property
The site's own text and design are the property of BoxOfficeLoco / Veterans for Peace. Film titles, characters, posters, and related properties are the trademarks and copyrights of their respective owners, referenced here for commentary and identification. Film data is drawn from third-party sources (below) and remains subject to their terms.
8. Third-Party Data Sources
- OMDb API — film metadata (titles, years, runtimes).
- moviebodycounts.com and aggregated public rankings — on-screen body-count references.
We are grateful to these sources and are not responsible for the accuracy or availability of third-party data.
9. Supporting Veterans for Peace
BoxOfficeLoco is a project of Veterans for Peace. Any option to support Veterans for Peace links to their own organization; donations are handled by Veterans for Peace under their policies, not on this site.
