Performance shows how your films are doing: admissions, box office and how they compare with the same days a week earlier. Open Performance in the Programming group of the sidebar. The page reads the results already saved on your Bookings. It does not change anything.

​
Provisional or definitive figures

Every Booking is read from one of two sources, and the page tells you which.
  • Definitive figures are the cinema’s settlement report. A Booking switches to them once all its current invoices are issued (sent, exported to accounting or paid).
  • Provisional figures are the daily reports and MaccsBox data. They are used for every other Booking and can still change.
A label above the page says Provisional, Definitive or Mixed, with a line explaining it, for example how many Bookings are definitive and how many are still provisional. Treat provisional numbers as a running estimate. See Load provisional results from MaccsBox and Check a cinema report.

​
Before you start

  • You need access to the Performance page.
  • Bookings need results. A Booking without figures shows a missing report, not a zero.
  • The Tickets, Top 25, Market comparables and Cinema Top 15 tabs only appear if you have access to Analytics.

​
Choose what you see

1

Pick the period

Choose Week or Date range. In Week mode, pick the Thursday that starts the reporting week, or use the arrows and Current. In Date range mode, pick From and To, or use Last 7 days, Last 14 days or Last 30 days.
2

Narrow to days (optional)

In Week mode, day buttons show the eight days from Wed opens to Wed closes. Click days to include or leave them out. Presets cover Full week, the Thursday to Sunday weekend, the Friday to Sunday weekend and Wed only.
3

Pick a film and regions

Use the film list (All films by default) and the region buttons D-CH, F-CH and I-CH. You can select one or several.
4

Pick a figure

The figure list sets what charts and daily tables show: Admissions, Box office, Cinemas, Admissions / cinema or CHF / admission.
Your choices stay in the page address, so a reload or a shared link opens the same view.
F-CH weeks start on a Wednesday. D-CH and I-CH weeks start on a Thursday. A Wednesday in the middle of a selection combines the F-CH opening with the D-CH and I-CH closing of that date.

​
The tabs

  • Overview: totals (Admissions, Gross box office, Cinemas, Admissions / cinema, CHF / admission), weekend admissions and box office (Friday to Sunday), then Regions, Films, Language versions and Day by day. Each day shows how it compares with the same weekday a week earlier, and its share of the week or weekend.
  • Lifetime: the whole run of one film.
  • Cinemas by day, Cities and Trends: the same figures by cinema, by city and over several weeks.
  • Week report: a printable summary of the selected week. Film comparison compares films.
Coverage columns show how many days were reported out of the days expected, so you can see where figures are missing. Turn on Colour values to colour changes: green above the Neutral threshold, red below it, neutral within it.

​
See a film’s whole run

Choose a film, then open the Lifetime tab. The period does not apply here, because the tab always shows the film’s whole run, from first day to last, with Still playing or Ended. You get totals, Opening weekend, Best day, Best week, Weeks in release, the run Week by week or Day by day, Top cinemas and Best cities. Two lists show Did better than usual and the opposite. Each cinema or city gets a verdict: Overperforming, Doing okay, Underperforming or Not enough days yet. The verdict compares a cinema’s share of this film with its usual share of your other films over the two years before. Hover over a verdict for the reason. Special projections are left out. You can also use Lifetime next to the date range when a film is chosen.

Download a PDF

Open the menu (hint “PDF reports”) and choose This page PDF, General report or Custom report. The PDF states which figures are definitive and which provisional.

​
If something looks wrong

Look at Coverage. Days marked Not reported have no figures yet. Provisional figures also change as cinemas report.
The button says “Choose a film to see its lifetime”. Select a film first.
You see “is not booked yet” or “Its figures appear here once cinemas report”. Create the Booking or load results.
The longest date range is 92 days. Use a film’s Lifetime for longer runs.
A red message “Could not build the PDF.” appears. Try again.
Not enough days yet means too few days, cinemas or admissions to judge.
Two weekends appear on this page. The weekend tiles and columns on Overview count Friday to Sunday. The Week report shows “of which weekend Thu–Sun”. The day presets let you pick either one.
