Numero, part of Vista Group (New Zealand), is a box office reporting platform used by studios, distributors, and theaters. It reports grosses collected from exhibitors, including complete real-time UK box office since 2024, and offers presale and hourly comparisons to forecast an opening. Vista describes it as covering more than 20 territories.
Numero is the better fit when
- You need reported grosses, in real time, in the territories Numero covers.
- Your cinemas already run Vista software and report through it.
- You need revenue, not seat-based estimates.
SEATmio is the better fit when
- You need markets outside Numero's territories, measured the same way.
- You want occupancy and seat supply per screening, not only grosses.
- You want to follow chains that do not report to you, read independently.
- You want what surrounds the numbers: programming quality, lost screenings, trailers, press, and what moved sales.
Side by Side
Using Both
Where Numero has full exhibitor reporting, it is the revenue reference. SEATmio covers the markets without it and adds occupancy and seat supply per screening across every chain.
Where SEATmio Falls Short
A fair comparison has to say this too.
- SEATmio estimates tickets from seat maps, and revenue from those tickets at each country's average ticket price. It does not report box office takings, 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. Presales are recorded from September 2026, so comparisons with the presales of earlier releases will come once there is enough history.
- We count seats, not people: no demographics and no surveys. Our interest index is built from public signals, not from asking audiences.
