SEATmio vs Showtime Analytics

Showtime Analytics turns a cinema operator's own data into dashboards. SEATmio looks outward, at every chain in a market, from public seat maps.

About Showtime Analytics

Showtime Analytics, based in Ireland, builds analytics for cinema operators on their own data: tickets, customers, food and beverage, operations. Its Benchmark module compares an exhibitor with its market using Comscore data and works with an existing Comscore subscription.

Showtime Analytics is the better fit when

  • You run cinemas and want to analyse your own transactions, loyalty and concessions.
  • You want operational dashboards connected to your ticketing system.
  • You already subscribe to Comscore 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.

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. 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.
