Marathon panel in Showtime Manager

Cleared

Selected

If the checkbox is selected, the session is part of a marathon. Settings are displayed below to configure how box office revenue is split between marathon sessions.

If the checkbox is cleared, it is a standalone session.

Any configured Film

Determines which film record is used to advertise the marathon as a whole.

Marathons appear on POS as a single session, not as individual sessions. By default, the whole group is marketed as the first film.

For example, in a marathon to celebrate the release of The Hobbit 3, you may wish to market the whole group as The Hobbit 3 (the last film in the marathon).

In a marathon of classic movies (Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind, Casablanca), you may wish to create a specific film record such as Classic Movie Night.

Cleared

Selected

Determines whether a single ticket is printed for the marathon, or individual tickets for each film.
The system setting TicketNumberingForMarathons determines whether an individual ticket number is assigned to each session ticket.

N/A

The sessions that have been included in the Marathon.

Any number

Determines what proportion of the marathon's box office revenue is allocated to each component film.

The numbers configured for each film form a ratio.

N/A

This read-only column automatically calculates the Box Office Split as a percentage.

For example, a Marathon celebrating the release of The Hobbit 3 may split revenue as follows:

The Hobbit 1: 1.00 (10%)

The Hobbit 2: 1.00 (10%)

The Hobbit 3: 8.00 (80%)
