BoxOfficeOps

BoxOfficeOps is a web app (with a lightweight mobile companion) for independent cinemas to stop guessing on showtimes, staffing, and concessions. It pulls in presales, historical attendance, local events, weather, school calendars, and film-specific trends to forecast per-show turnout and revenue. The app recommends optimal showtime grids, screen allocation, staffing levels, and concession prep targets, then tracks actuals to improve future forecasts. It also flags likely underperforming sessions early so managers can consolidate shows before they burn payroll and utilities. This is not a consumer movie-ticket app; it’s an operations tool for theaters that don’t have corporate analytics teams. The MVP focuses on forecasting + actionable recommendations, not fancy dashboards. If you can’t save a theater money within 30 days, you’ll churn—so the product is built around measurable ROI and simple workflows.
