Comscore Movies Everywhere reporting will capture box-office performance, demographics, and marketing effectiveness for lifespan of movies

Comscore, a trusted partner for planning, transacting, and evaluating media across platforms, announced Comscore Movies Everywhere, the next generation of cross-screen measurement that will deliver daily reporting for sales regardless of release windows and platform. This will include a new reporting system to track box office movies performance across all platforms.

The new product will bring together for the first time Comscore’s census-based box office and transactional video measurement capabilities and will build on the company’s strong heritage of creating breakthrough measurement solutions. Comscore’s granular and advanced audience information will now be seamlessly connected across the box office, transactional on demand video, OTT rentals and streaming views.

The prestige, exclusivity and revenue generating power of movie theaters is undeniable. Given the ever-increasing complexities of the marketplace, solutions like Movies Everywhere that measure a movie’s box office performance in combination with demographics, audience sentiment and consumer behavior, from the all-important big screen theatrical presentation to the small screen multi-platform release, are going to be an essential part in the creation of strategic initiatives and the decision-making process of companies across the entire entertainment ecosystem.

“The undeniable reality is that the pandemic has forced us all to throw out conventional wisdom and take a fresh look at how we operate,” said Chris Aronson, President of Domestic Distribution, Paramount. “We’re confident that people are going to return to theaters in force. But with more consumer choices for content consumption means we need new solutions to truly understand audience behavior as they engage with content on their terms and their screens. One thing that hasn’t changed is that the customer is always right. We all have to adapt.”

In another significant enhancement, Comscore will provide the ability to track and synthesize the demographics of moviegoers as well as individuals who viewed advertisements. In the face of rapidly-evolving media consumption patterns, studios can benefit from having this critical intelligence – including audience information available at both the national and regional levels – to identify behavioral trends that can help inform optimal release windows.

Going forward, it will be essential to have a complete picture of how content is performing across platforms.”

“We look forward to continue to set new measurement standards that harnesses our decades of unmatched box office and transactional video information,” said Bill Livek, CEO, Comscore. “Just as we delivered the first transparent studio share reports and the first Movies on Demand promo conversion analysis, we are once again innovating to provide studios the consideration needed to reinvent their strategies and thrive in this new era. We are uniquely positioned to deliver smarter audience insights that will ultimately help the entire ecosystem succeed.”
