LAS VEGAS, April 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Atom
Tickets, the first-of-its-kind theatrical mobile ticketing
platform and app, today announced the addition of several new
theater partners offering its revolutionary e-commerce service to
moviegoers. Among the exhibitor partners are national chains Regal
Entertainment Group and AMC Theatres, as well as regional movie
houses Studio Movie Grill and Silverspot Cinemas. These new
partners join Landmark Cinemas of Canada as Atom-enabled circuits.
Atom launched in select markets across the U.S. and Canada earlier this year. Atom is projected to
support over 15,000 screens across the two countries by the end of
the year.
Atom enables exhibitor partners to maximize their revenue
streams by utilizing Atom's social invitation features and
pre-ordering of tickets and concessions. Atom adds convenience to
the customer experience at every step of the movie-going process,
from recommending movies that a customer loves, to skipping the
lines at the theater. Atom works with partners to grow attendance
at their theaters.
"We are excited to bring the best of e-commerce to bear on the
theatrical ticketing space," said Ameesh
Paleja, Atom Tickets co-founder and CEO. "Combining great
recommendations, personalization, and the best data analysis
techniques available, we are able to connect customers with the
movies they will love and drive incremental audiences to our
partners."
"AMC leads the industry in enhancing the movie-going experience,
and through our partnership with Atom Tickets, we will continue to
extend that improved experience to the ticket-buying process," said
Adam Aron CEO of AMC Theatres. "We believe Atom's social and mobile
app will increase movie-going frequency, especially for AMC Stubs
rewards program members."
Atom Tickets is designed to make movie-going simple. Movie fans
can use the service to purchase tickets and concessions, coordinate
and invite friends without having to pay for them, and skip the
lines at the theater. The free app is available in both the Apple
App Store and Google Play.
"Through our partnership with Atom Tickets, we are thrilled to
be their first national exhibition partner and first to market with
their innovative social and mobile app," said Amy Miles, CEO at Regal Entertainment Group. "At
Regal, we continue to look for innovative ways to enhance the
movie-going experience. With Atom Tickets, we have found a partner
that provides our guests and members of our industry leading
loyalty program, the Regal Crown Club, a new way to purchase
tickets and concessions in advance."
"We're thrilled to create multi-faceted partnerships with AMC
and Regal to make Atom available to consumers in all markets across
the United States. We look forward
to working with Amy and the Regal team as well as Adam and the AMC
team to drive results by enhancing the special movie going
experience that both Regal and AMC provide to their patrons," said
Matthew Bakal, executive chairman
and co-founder of Atom Tickets. "In addition to the big national
brands, we're also excited to bring our platform to regionally
important and forward-leaning exhibitors Studio Movie Grill and
Silverspot Cinemas, as well as Landmark Cinemas of Canada our first full-circuit partner."
For consumers, Atom Tickets re-imagines the most convenient way
to plan a night out. The app provides relevant reviews, trailers
and synopses information to help consumers make a decision on what
to see. Then, with a few clicks, moviegoers can seamlessly invite
friends to the same show and order tickets and concessions all from
their phone. At the theater, consumers go to the ticket
takers and concession counters where they simply scan their QR code
at tablet scanners. For moviegoers there are no paper tickets and
no IOUs.
