Showtime scheduling

Build the week on one grid, with every gap and turnaround in view.

A schedule built in a spreadsheet is a schedule nobody can check. CineScope builds and finalizes the week's showtimes and keeps the gaps and turnaround explicit. When you ask, the AI Scheduling Agent writes up the week and marks the changes it suggests on the grid; nothing moves until somebody moves it.

What goes into next week's plan?

Start times and gaps

Proposed starts across the day with the space between them stated, so a schedule that looks fine on paper is not one that empties the same corridor twice at once.

Turnaround and capacity

The time a room actually needs between shows, and therefore what a day can hold — rather than what a plan assumes it can.

Room swaps, suggested

The Programming page pairs a film filling a small room with a bigger one at the same cinema playing to nobody, and names the showtimes. The booker decides.

A programmer approves

A person decides the week, and the AI Scheduling Agent only ever suggests. Nothing reaches your POS until somebody enters it.

What if we have no history in CineScope yet?

Finalized schedules are entered into your POS by your team, and last year's houses can be backfilled from a spreadsheet. A circuit that started this week therefore has something to compare against from day one instead of waiting a season for the comparisons in programming analytics to mean anything.

Scheduling questions

What does the showtime scheduler do?

It is where the week's schedule is built and finalized: which title plays in which room, at what times, with the gaps and turnaround between shows made explicit rather than assumed. Once approved, the plan is handed to your team to enter into the POS — CineScope does not write showtimes into it.

What does the Showtime Optimizer actually decide?

Nothing by itself. It is a planning mode of the scheduler for cinemas whose POS runs the schedule: a separate week built by hand on the same grid, then published to managers. That is a cinema on RTS or Veezi, whose schedule CineScope mirrors and cannot edit by hand. Nothing here ever puts anything on sale.

How are room swaps handled?

As suggestions on the Programming page: a film filling a small room is paired with a bigger room at the same cinema that is playing to nobody, with the showtimes named as the evidence. The booker decides.

Does the scheduler write showtimes into our POS?

No. It plans the week and hands you a finished schedule; entering it into the POS stays a manual step your team controls. Scheduling and the optimizer are part of CineScope, and the comparison work in programming analytics uses the POS sales feed.

What if we have no history in CineScope yet?

Last year's houses can be backfilled from a spreadsheet, so a circuit that signed up on Monday has something to compare against rather than waiting a year to get useful answers.

Does the scheduler decide what to book?

No. Booking is a programmer's judgement. The scheduler plans and finalizes the week, and programming analytics tells you afterwards how a title performed against what a typical title at that same cinema sold on that weekday.
