What Screendollars does

Screendollars is a privately held digital media platform founded in 1972, headquartered in Dover, Delaware, and focused exclusively on the theatrical motion picture industry. The platform provides domestic box office tracking, a movie database of approximately 8,489 titles, an industry directory covering roughly 4,073 theatres, 299 distributors, 168 exhibitors, 366 vendors, and 118 film festivals, plus celebrity profiles and editorial news coverage. Core products include the Box Office Data Platform, Movies Database, Film Industry Directory, Celebrities Database, Industry News & Editorials, and a weekly newsletter delivered every Sunday to 300,000+ film industry professionals, supplemented by Wednesday and Friday Box Office Forecasts.

The platform operates a hybrid go-to-market combining content-led audience development with B2B partnership distribution. Screendollars reaches approximately 7 million monthly readers across its website, newsletter, podcast, and social media properties. The most significant commercial relationship is a strategic partnership announced April 13, 2026 with the Independent Cinema Alliance (ICA), through which Screendollars supplies curated editorial content, proprietary data, and charts for ICA's weekly member newsletter serving approximately 5,000 independently operated movie screens across the United States and Canada. Complementary alliances with Relevant DS (digital signage in theater lobbies), Screenvision Media (cinema advertising network), and The Film Verdict (movie reviews) extend the platform's reach into exhibitor technology, advertising inventory, and editorial coverage.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: display advertising on the website and newsletter at scale, recurring newsletter subscription and Box Office Forecast delivery, and paid industry reports (Exhibition Report and Distribution Report). The company employs 11-50 staff and is led by Thaddeus Bouchard, President and Founder.
