Movie theatre and cinema ticketing software for Canada

Most Canadian independents in our crawl sell online through Veezi's standard web sales page, and most of the rest through a POS vendor's webstore. Both work. Neither gives you a website that feels like your theatre, an app on your regulars' phones, or a loyalty programme that competes with Cineplex's.

Filmgrail adds all three without touching the box office. We read films, showtimes, seats and prices from it and write each sale back. Read Veezi alternatives, Filmgrail vs Veezi, Omniterm alternatives and RTS alternatives for the detail.

Cineplex, Canada's largest chain, runs 1,595 screens on 152 sites (see the largest cinema chains). Canada reports its box office together with the US: $8.66bn for the two countries in 2025, and loyalty subscriptions across North America rose 15% between 2024 and 2025, according to Cinema United (see our cinema industry statistics). A regional theatre that wants a share of those loyal regulars needs its own membership and its own app.

Canadian buyers pay by credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay online, and by Interac debit at the counter. We integrate your payment provider rather than forcing ours on you.

We do not yet have a Canadian theatre live. The closest comparable is across the border: Classic Cinemas runs around sixteen theatres in the Chicago area on Filmgrail, historic single screens and recliner multiplexes alike, with website, online ticketing and CMS on one platform. The same platform runs Wallis Cinemas, a family-owned Australian independent, and Ster-Kinekor, southern Africa's largest circuit.

Canada's festivals, from Toronto to Vancouver, are a large part of its film culture. Our festival platform costs about $5,000 a year for a mid-size festival, flat, with no per-ticket fee.

The Movie Theatre Association of Canada runs ShowCanada in Montreal; independents meet through NICE, the Network of Independent Canadian Exhibitors, and Quebec owners through the APCQ and Ciné Québec. We list 11 cinema industry events in Canada.

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.
