Why Was Box Office Removed from App Store?



Box Office is a pretty nifty little app. It's free, for starters, and it lets you look up movies that are currently playing in your area. You can get movie times and reviews. It's convenient and works great. Well, at least it did. Box Office was yanked from the App Store with no reason provided to the developer and that's left many wondering if Apple even has developer relations reps to deal with this sort of problem.

The developer was left in the dark on Friday and he still has no idea why Box Office was removed. 

If you already have Box Office on your phone, it still works. However, it remains a mystery why a free, seemingly harmless app would be removed in the first place. Security bug, perhaps?

All the focus on Friday was on the removal of the tethering app, NetShare. Maybe now that the new week has started we'll get some answers.
