Screen Insider

What Screen Insider does

Screen Insider is a cloud-based SaaS platform purpose-built for the cinema exhibition industry, serving movie theater owners, managers, film buyers, advertising agencies, and film studios. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Denver with offices in Los Angeles and London, the company aggregates a suite of operational tools that theater operators use to run their businesses and market to moviegoers. The platform's core offering is a curated Movie Database containing studio-approved high-resolution graphics, accurate run times, ticket on-sale dates, early show times, and advanced release-type filters, supported by direct content licensing agreements with all major Hollywood studios (Paramount, Disney, Universal, Warner Bros., Sony, Lions Gate, Fox, and Focus Features).

The product surface comprises six integrated modules: the Movie Database as the central data repository; Post Social, a social media management tool that publishes studio-approved assets across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and TikTok; Trends & Analytics, a box office dashboard with year-over-year comparables; Scoreboard, a daily-updated printable release schedule; the Buyer's Guide, a vendor directory covering concessions, equipment, and exhibitor relations contacts; and a dual newsletter product (Box Office Insights and Industry Roundup). The Off the Break podcast extends brand reach into audio content. All modules are accessible through a single web platform at screeninsider.co with no native mobile app.

Screen Insider operates a freemium-plus-subscription revenue model with three tiers: Basic (free, 1 user, 2 theaters), Fan ($90/quarter or $360/year), and Insider ($43/month, $129/quarter, or $516/year for 5 users and 10 theaters). A secondary revenue stream comes from social media advertising services priced as a percentage of ad spend (10-20% depending on tier). The company employs 1-10 people, has not disclosed funding, and uses a hybrid go-to-market combining self-serve product-led growth for SMB operators with a consultative sales motion offering custom enterprise pricing to film bookers and ad agencies managing theater circuits. Screen Insider is a cloud-based SaaS platform providing movie theater owners, managers, film buyers, and studios with a cinema-specific toolkit including a studio-approved movie database, social media management, box office analytics, release schedules, and a vendor directory.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Boxoffice Pro: Boxoffice Pro is a cinema-industry trade publication covering theatrical exhibition, similar in editorial positioning to Screen Insider's News & Insights and Off the Break Podcast. Both serve the same cinema-operator readership with industry news and box office analysis.
• Celluloid Junkie: Celluloid Junkie is an independent cinema trade publication and podcast focused on the exhibition industry. It overlaps with Screen Insider's Newsletters and Off the Break Podcast as a content/community channel for the same cinema-operator audience.

Direct peers

• Vista Group International: Vista Group is the dominant SaaS provider for cinema operators, offering Vista Cinema (exhibition management software) and Movio (cinema marketing analytics). It is the closest direct peer to Screen Insider because both sell vertical SaaS tooling into movie theater operators, covering scheduling, marketing, and analytics workflows.
• Movio (Vista Group): Movio is Vista Group's cinema-focused marketing analytics platform used by exhibitors to run targeted campaigns. It overlaps directly with Screen Insider's Post Social and Trends & Analytics modules, serving the same theater-operator customer with marketing and audience tooling.
• EntTelligence: EntTelligence provides theatrical box office analytics and exhibitor insights to studios, circuits, and vendors. It directly competes with Screen Insider's Trends & Analytics module and targets an overlapping cinema-industry audience with similar data products.

Broad incumbents

• Screenvision Media: Screenvision Media is a large cinema advertising network that sells on-screen and lobby ad inventory to exhibitors and advertisers. It overlaps with Screen Insider's social-advertising services and serves the same cinema exhibitor buyers, but as a media-selling incumbent rather than a SaaS toolkit.
• National CineMedia (NCM): National CineMedia operates the largest in-cinema advertising network in the US, providing on-screen advertising, events, and lobby media. It addresses a similar marketing-spend bucket for theaters but is a media/operator incumbent rather than a SaaS data platform.
• Tango (by Sage): Tango provides digital advertising management and back-office tools that serve cinema and out-of-home media buyers. It is comparable as a transaction-fee layer on exhibitor ad spend (similar to Screen Insider's % of social ad spend), though broader in scope across digital media.
• Comscore: Comscore is an established cross-entertainment analytics incumbent that includes theatrical measurement among its offerings (formerly Box Office Essentials). It is comparable as a source of box office data and exhibitor insights, but operates across film, TV, and digital rather than specializing in cinema like Screen Insider.

Others

• FilmTrack (Rightsline): Rightsline (formerly FilmTrack) provides rights, royalties, and content distribution management software to studios and rights holders. It is adjacent because it sits on the studio/distributor side of the same value chain Screen Insider serves from the exhibitor side, managing similar licensed-asset workflows.
