One CMS for your website and your apps
Create, edit and publish once — to web, iOS and Android at the same time. No developer, no deployment, no siloed publishing.
Everything an exhibitor actually edits
Quick actions
Pull movie schedules, manage carousels and favourites, clear cache — the things you do every week, one click away.
Movie settings
Control every aspect of movie content: release dates, media, trailers, classifications, per-location availability.
Content
Articles, pages, advertising slots and per-page SEO fields, with a rich text editor and reusable content blocks.
Menus and banners
Restructure navigation and swap hero banners without touching code or waiting for a release.
App content
Change what your app shows in real time — stories, in-app banners, featured rows, sorting.
Notifications
Configure and schedule push campaigns against user preferences and segments.
Store settings
Gift card sales, inventory, balance tracking and redemption in one place.
Loyalty
Run the points programme — earn rates, rewards, accumulation limits — straight from the dashboard.
Users and roles
Add and remove users and assign granular role-based permissions per section.
Priced by screens, from $200 a year for a single screen to $20,000 for a large circuit. The CMS comes with the platform.
A flat annual price with no per-ticket fee and no percentage of your sales. A record year costs nothing extra.
A few weeks if we already integrate your box office and payment provider; about a month for a new one.
Structured content, not a page builder
Cinema content has a shape: films, screenings, halls, locations, ticket types, articles. The CMS models those directly instead of asking you to rebuild them out of generic blocks each time.
That is what makes cross-platform publishing work, and it is what lets the site emit correct structured data for search engines automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need technical knowledge to use the cinema CMS?
No. Every feature — pages, carousels, articles, translations, bulk uploads, SEO fields, subscriptions, user management — is designed to be used without programming knowledge.
Can several people work in the CMS at once?
Yes. The CMS is team-based with role-based access control, so marketing, programming and management each get the sections and permissions they need and nothing more.
Does the CMS publish to the app as well as the website?
Yes — that is the point of it. Content is published cross-platform, so one edit updates the website and both native apps.
How much does the Filmgrail CMS cost?
Filmgrail is priced by screens: one flat annual price from $200 a year for a single screen to $20,000 a year for a large circuit, with no per-ticket fees and no share of your sales. A mid-size film festival pays about $5,000 a year. Card fees go to your own payment provider. The CMS comes with the platform. Full details on the pricing page.
How long does it take to go live?
A few weeks when we already integrate your box office and payment provider; about a month when we need to build a new integration.
You do not have to replace your box office
Filmgrail reads your programme, seat maps, ticket types and pricing from the system you already run, and writes the completed sale back so your reporting stays whole.
