The Marketing Report brings together many different measures of cinema performance to assist marketing and general management decisions, focusing in particular on analysing customer buying habits. Many parts are similar to the Performance report, and it is recommended that the Performance report should be used as a base for the Marketing Report.
Note: Running this report for longer than one week may result in a very large report. It is recommended to run the report for short periods.
The Marketing Report is broken down into numerous sub-sections providing performance analysis of important cinema trends:
- Base Information on Box Office and Concessions
- Key performance Indicators
- Box Office Sales by Film
- Payment Method Analysis (Box Office and Concessions) — analyses how customers pay for tickets and concessions.
- Top 10 Vouchers Sold
- Top 10 Vouchers Redeemed
- Top 20 Ticket Types
- Sales Channel Analysis by Film — analyses which Sales Channels tickets are bought through for Films.
- Ticket Sales vs Show Time Analysis by Film — analyses how far in advance people are buying tickets to Films in relation to session start time.
- Ticket Sales vs Show Time Analysis by Channel — analyses how far in advance people are buying tickets through each Sales Channel in relation to session start time.
- Group Size Analysis by Film — analyses how many people buy tickets as singles, couples, or larger groups.
- Concession Class Analysis — analyses which Item Classes are selling to most.
- Top 10 Box Office Sundries (Excludes Vouchers)
- Top 10 Concession Items by Quantity sold, Value, and by Margin

Terms Used
Base Information
Term | Description |
Box Office Sales |
The total value of Ticket Sales revenue received, plus the value of Redemptions redeemed during the report period, in the currency of the cinema. |
Box Office Admits Incl Comps |
Represents the total number of tickets that were issued during the report period. This includes sales, redemptions and complimentary tickets. It is a total head-count of people that were admitted to sessions. |
Comps |
Represents the total number of admits that were complimentary (free). This is determined by totaling all of the admissions that related to Price Cards marked as ‘Complimentary’. This number is included in the Box Office Admits figure above, but excluded in the Paid Admits figure below. |
Paid Admits |
Represents the number of admits that were paid for, i.e. the total Box Office Admits incl Comps minus the Comps. |
Transactions With Tickets |
Represents the number of people who approached the counter to buy tickets. It is not a measurement of the number of tickets sold, but rather measures the number of transactions that occurred. For example: If one person bought four tickets at once, it would count as one transaction. Transactions involving concession sales only (and no tickets) are not counted. |
Concessions Sales |
The total amount of revenue received from sales of concessions. This does not include the Voucher Sales and Box Office Sundries figures. The Net value excludes any tax incurred in the transactions. |
Quantity of Items Sold |
The actual number of concession items sold. This figure does not include Vouchers or Sundry Items. For example: If one transaction involves three bags of chips and two chocolate bars, that counts as five items for the purposes of this figure. Items that are sold by weight (such as bulk sweets) will only count as one item per transaction, regardless of the weight of the items sold. For example: A transaction involving 2 bags of chips and 740 grams of bulk sweets will count as 3 items. |
Transactions With Concessions |
Represents the number of people who approached the counter to buy concessions. It is not a measurement of the number of concessions sold, but rather measures the number of transactions that occurred. For example: If one person bought four popcorns at the same time, it would count as one transaction. Transactions involving ticket sales only (and no concessions) are not counted. |
Voucher Sales |
The total revenue received from the sale of Vouchers (which will later become Redemptions when they are redeemed for a movie ticket). These are defined as Concessions that are defined as a voucher on the Voucher Items tab in Item Maintenance. This figure is not included in the Concessions Sales figure. |
Box Office Sundries |
The amount of revenue received from sales of Sundry Items. These are defined as Concessions that have the Box Office Sundry Item checkbox selected in Item Maintenance. This generally includes non-consumables such as T-shirts, hats etc, as well as booking fees. |
Total Transactions |
Represents the total number of transactions count performed for tickets and concessions. It is not a measurement of the number of concessions and tickets sold, but rather measures the number of transactions that occurred. The figure reports transactions on all sales channels (for example, POS, Kiosk and remote sales channels). For example: If one person bought tickets, a coke and a fanta at the same time, it would count as one transaction. Transactions involving ticket sales only (and no concessions) are also counted. |
