Location: Messina Suite — Vista Group Experience Room

React

What’s New:
Vista is showing off React, its new pulse survey tool designed to capture real-time audience sentiment and intent, with an upcoming expansion into operational feedback covering areas such as facilities, service, and food and beverage.

What It Is:
React collects feedback from moviegoers immediately after a screening, combining film ratings with forward-looking intent data based on upcoming releases. Feedback is captured through multiple touchpoints, including digital ticketing, email, and API integrations, and feeds directly into Vista’s cloud ecosystem.

Why It Matters:
While exhibitors have access to large amounts of transactional data, understanding why audiences respond the way they do — and what they plan to see next — has been harder to capture in a structured, actionable way. React aims to close that gap by turning post-visit feedback into decision-making inputs, from scheduling and marketing to on-site operations.

Because it is integrated with Vista’s broader platform, including Movio EQ, the data can be activated quickly — allowing exhibitors to adjust campaigns, programming, and guest experience strategies based on real-time sentiment rather than historical reporting.

Veezi

Location: Julius Ballroom — Booth 110J

Movie Mailer, Oneview & Veezi Payments

What’s New:
Veezi is highlighting two recently released modules — Movie Mailer and Oneview — alongside its new embedded payments solution, Veezi Payments, as it expands its toolkit for independent exhibitors.

What It Is:
Movie Mailer is an automated showtime marketing tool designed to reduce manual workload, enabling cinemas to send branded weekly schedules directly to their mailing lists, integrated with Veezi’s programming system. Oneview, developed by parent company Vista Group, is a mobile app providing real-time visibility into key performance metrics such as admissions and revenue across one or multiple sites. Veezi Payments adds an embedded payments layer designed to handle transactions within the platform.

Why It Matters:
Independent cinemas often operate with limited staff and rely on tools that simplify operations while improving visibility over performance. Features like automated showtime marketing and real-time reporting support faster decision-making without adding complexity.

By combining these tools with an integrated payments solution, Veezi is positioning itself as a more complete, all-in-one platform for independents looking to manage both customer engagement and operational workflows within a single system.

Agile Ticketing Solutions

Location: Julius Ballroom — Booth 1007J

Agile Platform Upgrades – iOS App & VisualVenue Digital Signage

What’s New:
Agile Ticketing Solutions is highlighting updates across its platform at CinemaCon, with a focus on its iOS app and VisualVenue digital signage tools as part of a broader push to strengthen direct audience engagement.

What It Is:
The Agile platform combines ticketing, digital engagement, and on-site experience tools. The iOS app extends the box office experience to mobile, allowing exhibitors to maintain a direct connection with ticket buyers, while VisualVenue uses digital signage to deliver targeted, visually driven content within the cinema environment.

Why It Matters:
As cinemas look to build stronger relationships with audiences beyond individual transactions, tools that connect pre-visit, on-site, and post-visit touchpoints are becoming increasingly important. Mobile apps and digital signage play complementary roles in that ecosystem — one enabling direct communication and purchasing, the other influencing behavior within the venue.

By bringing these elements together under a single platform, Agile is positioning itself around a more continuous view of the customer journey, with the goal of improving engagement, loyalty, and revenue opportunities over time.

CINEsync

Location: Augustus Ballroom — Booth 2516A

AI-Driven Cinema Operations Upgrades

What’s New:
CINEsync is emphasizing its AI-driven capabilities at CinemaCon, alongside an expanded restaurant module designed to better support dine-in cinema operations.

What It Is:
A cloud-based platform that integrates ticketing, concessions, marketing, loyalty, and analytics into a single system for cinema operators.

Why It Matters:
Many exhibitors still operate across multiple disconnected systems, particularly when managing both ticketing and food and beverage. By consolidating these functions — and layering in AI tools for scheduling, pricing, and recommendations — platforms like CINEsync aim to improve operational efficiency while helping cinemas better respond to audience demand and maximize revenue.

The platform also integrates with third-party providers including comScore, Numero, and MACCSBOX, as well as payment and ticketing partners, positioning it as a central operating layer for cinemas looking to streamline workflows and expand food and beverage offerings.

Fandango

Location: Julius Ballroom — Booth 935J

Fandango1

What’s New:
Following its acquisition of INDY Cinema Group in late 2025, Fandango is introducing Fandango1, a rebranded and expanded operating platform that brings exhibitor tools under the broader Fandango ecosystem.

What It Is:
Fandango1 is a cloud-based system designed to manage core cinema operations, including ticketing, concessions, loyalty, marketing, and analytics. Built on INDY’s existing platform, it replaces multiple standalone systems with a unified infrastructure intended to support both independent cinemas and larger circuits. The platform is already in use across nearly 300 locations globally.

Why It Matters:
Cinema operators continue to look for ways to simplify increasingly complex technology stacks, thus platforms that consolidate operations into a single system are gaining traction. Meanwhile, access to audience data and direct consumer touchpoints is becoming more valuable.

By combining an exhibitor-focused platform with its existing consumer-facing business, Fandango is positioning itself at both ends of the moviegoing journey — from discovery and ticket purchase through to in-theater operations and post-visit engagement. That integration could offer exhibitors new ways to connect marketing, transactions, and customer data within a single ecosystem.

Frank Mayer

Location: Julius Ballroom — Booth 832J

Self-Service Cinema Kiosk Enhancements

What’s New:
Frank Mayer is highlighting their custom self-service cinema kiosk solutions at CinemaCon, with a focus on flexible configurations and integrations designed to support a range of theater operations.

What It Is:
The kiosks are available in floor-standing, counter, and wall-mounted formats and can be customized to integrate with ticketing systems, POS platforms, payment devices, and loyalty programs. They support functions such as ticket purchasing, seat selection, mobile ticket pickup, and concessions ordering within a single interface.

Why It Matters:
Self-service continues to play a growing role in how cinemas manage peak traffic and staffing demands. Moving routine transactions out of the box office and concession counter can help reduce wait times while allowing staff to focus on guest-facing interactions.

For operators managing multiple locations, hardware that can be standardized while still adapting to different system configurations is also an important consideration. Solutions like Frank Mayer’s kiosks are designed to support that balance, combining deployment consistency with the flexibility to work across varied technology environments.

Omniterm

Location: Julius Ballroom — Booth 426J

AI Reporting & Subscription Tools

What’s New:
Omniterm is introducing new AI-driven reporting tools and subscription capabilities at CinemaCon, reflecting ongoing updates to its point-of-sale platform.

What It Is:
The platform now includes a natural language reporting feature within its cloud-based Online Sales Monitor, allowing users to generate reports, dashboards, and visualizations using conversational prompts. The system provides real-time visibility into ticketing and concession performance across locations, with customizable dashboards tailored to individual users.

Additional updates include subscription management tools designed to support recurring revenue programs across POS, kiosk, and online channels, as well as configurable rounding options for cash transactions and charitable donations.

Why It Matters:
Because cinemas are generating more operational data, the ability to access and interpret that information quickly is becoming increasingly important. Tools that simplify reporting, particularly those that reduce reliance on predefined reports, can help operators respond more effectively to changing demand.

At the same time, subscription models are gaining traction as exhibitors look for more predictable revenue streams and deeper customer relationships. Together, these updates reflect a broader shift toward POS platforms that support both data-driven decision-making and new forms of audience engagement.

POSitive Cinema

Location: Julius Ballroom — Booth 127J

CinemaONE Platform

What’s New:
POSitive Cinema is introducing CinemaONE at CinemaCon, a cloud-based cinema management platform designed specifically for independent and single-site operators.

What It Is:
CinemaONE brings together core cinema operations — including ticketing, concessions, scheduling, and reporting — within a single web-based interface. The platform is designed to be deployed quickly without the need for on-premise infrastructure, allowing operators to access real-time data and manage their business from any location.

It also includes integrated tools for websites, kiosks, and digital signage, enabling independent cinemas to maintain a consistent digital presence while managing both operations and customer touchpoints within one system.

Why It Matters:
Independent cinemas often face the challenge of balancing limited resources with the need to operate modern, connected systems. Platforms that reduce setup complexity and consolidate essential functions can lower the barrier to adopting more advanced tools.

By focusing on speed of deployment and ease of use, solutions like CinemaONE reflect a broader shift toward more accessible technology for smaller operators — allowing them to implement capabilities that were previously limited to larger circuits.

Ready Credit Corporation

Location: Julius Ballroom — Booth 232J

Cash-to-Card Kiosk Enhancements

What’s New:
Ready Credit is highlighting incremental updates to its cash-to-card kiosk platform at CinemaCon, including SMS-based receipts, expanded language support, and increased cash-handling capacity.

What It Is:
Ready Credit’s kiosks convert cash into prepaid debit cards that can be used throughout a cinema, allowing operators to reduce or eliminate cash handling at points of sale while still accommodating cash-paying guests.

Recent updates include text-based receipt and balance-check options, touchscreen enhancements with additional language support, and hardware upgrades that increase bill acceptance capacity within each kiosk.

Why It Matters:
As cinemas continue to move toward cashless operations, maintaining accessibility for cash-paying guests remains an important consideration. Cash-to-card systems offer a transitional approach, enabling operators to reduce the operational complexity and security risks associated with handling cash while still supporting a broader range of payment preferences.

Incremental improvements to these systems — particularly around usability and capacity — can help streamline the guest experience while further reducing back-of-house workload for theatre staff.

TAPOS

Location: Julius Ballroom — Booth 821J

Expanded F&B and CRM Platform

What’s New:
TAPOS is expanding its platform with enhanced food and beverage (F&B) and customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities, reflecting a shift toward more complex dine-in operations and data-driven marketing strategies.

What It Is:
The updated F&B module extends beyond traditional concessions to support full-service restaurant and bar operations within cinemas. Features such as split checks, tipping workflows, and complex menu configurations are now built directly into the system, alongside QR code ordering from seats, text notifications for order pickup, and integrated online and kiosk ordering. These capabilities are supported by a unified inventory system, allowing operators to manage both concessions and full-service dining without relying on separate third-party platforms.

On the marketing side, TAPOS has introduced a more advanced segmentation approach through its CRM tools. Using what the company describes as a “Waterfall” model, operators can target specific customer groups based on behavior, preferences, and visit history. Campaigns can be tailored dynamically — for example, sending different promotions to frequent guests, genre-specific audiences, or lapsed customers — enabling more precise outreach than traditional mass messaging.

Why It Matters:
More and more, POS systems are evolving into broader operational platforms that support both F&B complexity and customer engagement. Solutions that combine transaction management with integrated marketing tools can help cinemas better monetize dine-in offerings while improving the effectiveness of promotional efforts.

By consolidating these capabilities into a single system, platforms like TAPOS aim to reduce operational friction while giving operators more control over both the guest experience and repeat visitation.
