Showtime Analytics, based in Ireland, builds analytics for theater operators on their own data: tickets, customers, food and beverage, operations. Its Benchmark module compares an exhibitor with its market using Rentrak data and works with an existing Rentrak subscription.
Showtime Analytics is the better fit when
- You run cinemas and want to analyze your own transactions, loyalty, and concessions.
- You want operational dashboards connected to your ticketing system.
- You already subscribe to Rentrak and want market-share benchmarks on top of it.
SEATmio is the better fit when
- You want to see competitors' screenings, occupancy, and presales, not only market totals.
- You are a distributor or advertiser with no cinema data of your own.
- You need the same view in markets where you operate no cinemas.
- You want your cinema next to every cinema within 5, 10, or 25 km: their tickets, the films they sell better, and the films you do not show.
Side by Side
Using Both
Showtime tells an exhibitor how its own business runs. SEATmio shows what happens in the rooms next door: competitors' programming, occupancy, and presales. A chain can sensibly use both.
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.
