“We are excited to expand our long-term relationship with Marcus Theatres for theatre and circuit management,” said Arturo Guillén, Executive Vice President and Global Managing Director, Comscore Movies. “They have been great partners of ours over the last decade of digital cinema, providing invaluable feedback on not only the development of these two next generation applications, but also on all of our Movies products. This agreement underscores Comscore’s ability to deliver real-time information and help drive productivity and efficiency across their cinema operations.”
“We are continually impressed with Comscore’s innovative suite of solutions,” said Rolando Rodriguez, chairman, president and CEO of Marcus Theatres. “We became an early adopter of Cinema ACE on the opening day of our Movie Tavern at Brookfield Square location in October 2019 and have since converted additional theatres to this new system. Our teams using Cinema ACE have had a positive experience with the new, redesigned interface and automations. And since we’re hosting our databases in the cloud, managers love they can access the application from anywhere with internet access.”
