Comparison

SEATmio vs EntTelligence

Both look at cinemas screening by screening rather than as weekend totals. The difference is where and how: EntTelligence is built around the US market, SEATmio reads public seat maps in 124 countries with one method.

About EntTelligence

EntTelligence is a Los Angeles company, launched in 2020, that measures cinema attendance, capacity and ticket prices at showtime level. Its published customers include Cinemark and IMAX, and its advance-sales figures are quoted by the trade press before big openings. In March 2026 it launched CAPTIVE, reach measurement for in-theater advertising. The coverage it describes publicly is in the United States, and it does not describe its collection method in detail.

EntTelligence is the better fit when

  • You need US attendance and ticket-price analysis from a supplier already used by major US exhibitors.
  • You buy or sell cinema advertising in the US and want reach measurement (CAPTIVE).
  • You want trailer and impression analytics alongside attendance.

SEATmio is the better fit when

  • You need the same measurement outside the US: 124 countries, one method.
  • You want every figure traceable to one screening in one room, read from a public seat map.
  • You want a presale curve per film compared with similar films before release.
  • You need access scoped to your markets, chains or titles, with a trial.

Using both

They answer overlapping questions in different places. A studio already using EntTelligence at home can use SEATmio for the international rollout of the same title and follow presales market by market with one method.

Where SEATmio falls short

A fair comparison has to say this too.

  • SEATmio estimates tickets from seat maps. It does not measure box office revenue, and seats sold at the counter after our last read are not included, so our figures can differ from official grosses.
  • We only see chains that publish seat maps online. Some chains and markets are missing, and some are read less often than others.
  • For most chains our history starts when we began reading them. Presale curves are recorded from September 2026, so comparisons with past releases get richer over time.
  • We count seats, not people: no demographics, awareness or intent to watch.
