Optimising cinema screening schedules
Context
Every week, cinema operators must create their programming grid: deciding which films will play in which rooms and at what times.
This requires taking into account many factors, including constraints imposed by film distributors, film typology, and duration.
Projectiv was developed to solve this problem in just a few clicks: an algorithm generates the optimal programming grid, maximising the cinema’s revenue through attendance forecasts.
Objectives
- Create an analytics dashboard allowing operators to quickly view key metrics
- Provide an easy‑to‑use scheduling tool
- Develop an optimisation algorithm tailored to the industry’s needs

Results
Projectiv has been deployed in several dozen cinemas, which use it every week. The application was later acquired by a major player in the sector, Ymagis.
"The XML works perfectly and therefore allows the schedule to be sent to the TMS Ciné Digital Manager without going through TixOS. It’s perfect! Thank you very much for your efficiency!"
Vincent Chevalier, Director of Cinélac de Ploërmel
