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](https://wiki.distribution-os.ch/results/maccsbox-import.md) and [Check a cinema report](https://wiki.distribution-os.ch/results/check-a-cinema-report.md). ## 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. > [!NOTE] > > 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 > [accordion] Numbers are lower than expected > > Look at **Coverage**. Days marked **Not reported** have no figures yet. Provisional figures also change as cinemas report. > [accordion] Lifetime is greyed out > > The button says "Choose a film to see its lifetime". Select a film first. > [accordion] A film says it is not booked or has no figures > > You see "is not booked yet" or "Its figures appear here once cinemas report". Create the Booking or load results. > [accordion] A range is refused > > The longest date range is 92 days. Use a film's **Lifetime** for longer runs. > [accordion] The PDF fails > > A red message "Could not build the PDF." appears. Try again. > [accordion] No verdict for a cinema > > **Not enough days yet** means too few days, cinemas or admissions to judge. > [!NOTE] > > 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. ## Related * [Load provisional results from MaccsBox](https://wiki.distribution-os.ch/results/maccsbox-import.md) * [Check a cinema report](https://wiki.distribution-os.ch/results/check-a-cinema-report.md) * [Create a Booking](https://wiki.distribution-os.ch/bookings/create-a-booking.md) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
