Cinema ticketing software for Belgian cinemas

Kinepolis is Belgian, and it sells through its own channels. Many independents and cultural centres sell film through ticketing built for every kind of cultural event. Filmgrail gives a cinema a website and app built only for cinema: a proper page for every film, session times up front, seat selection and a checkout in your brand.

Belgium adds a language problem most booking pages ignore. Filmgrail's platform is multilingual, so one CMS serves Dutch, French and English with a language switch. If you run Admit One the integration already exists; see Admit One alternatives and the Admit One integration.

We will be straight with you: we do not yet have a Belgian cinema live. The closest comparables compete with national circuits the way Belgian independents compete with Kinepolis. In Norway, Bergen Kino (18 halls) and Trondheim Kino (19 halls) run websites, native apps and ticketing on Filmgrail; Vega Scene and Rådhus-Teatret sell film alongside stage, as many Belgian cultural centres do. In South Africa, Ster-Kinekor runs more than thirty complexes on the same platform.

For festivals, BIFF runs on our festival platform. The first Belgian cinemas get our full attention during setup.

Belgian cinemas sold 14.7 million admissions in 2024 for €142.7 million in box office excluding VAT, across 83 cinema businesses with 98,526 seats, according to Statbel. Flanders accounted for 42.8% of admissions, Wallonia 38.5% and Brussels 18.7%, so almost any cinema with ambitions beyond one region needs to sell in two languages.

Brussels is also where European exhibition meets: UNIC, the International Union of Cinemas, is based there and runs UNIC Cinema Days; its CEO Laura Houlgatte is in our who's who. Belgian exhibitors meet at the Belgian Film Sector Day, organised by Film Matters and the Fédération des Cinémas de Belgique; see cinema industry events.

Pricing is published and flat: from $200 a year for a single screen to $20,000 a year for a large circuit, per screen, with no per-ticket fees (see pricing). A mid-size film festival pays about $5,000 a year. If we already integrate your box office and payment provider you can be live in a few weeks; a provider we have not connected before takes about a month.

See your own cinema on it before you talk to anyone: the free cinema website prototype builds a version of your site from its current address. Then book a demo against your real programme.
