Vista Group, the global leader for software and technology solutions for the cinema and film industry, is delighted to announce a new agreement with Showtime Cinemas, part of the Showtime Group and the second largest exhibitor in Taiwan.

Under this agreement, which was finalised in a signing ceremony at CineAsia last week, Showtime Cinemas will implement Vista Cinema’s comprehensive suite of cinema management solutions across 17 sites and 184 screens, as well as at Showtime’s new complex at the Taipei Dome, which is set to open in 2025.

A key draw for Showtime Cinemas was Vista’s self-service kiosk product, which will streamline the ticket purchasing process and offer a seamless experience for moviegoers.

Additionally, Vista’s loyalty features align with Showtime Cinemas’ market ambitions and development plans, enabling stronger relationships with guests through personalised rewards and incentives.

"We are thrilled to leverage Vista’s advanced cinema management solutions," said Penny Kao, the director of Showtime Cinemas Business Unit. "Their innovative technology will enhance our operational efficiency and bolster our commitment to delivering outstanding experiences for our guests. We look forward to working with Vista and engaging in a collaboration that supports our growth and development in the market.”

Vista Group's CEO, Stuart Dickinson, added, "Showtime Cinemas has a strong reputation for delivering exceptional experiences for moviegoers and we are excited to welcome them to Vista. Our solutions offer the flexibility and comprehensive functionality that exhibitors need to thrive, and we look forward to seeing Showtime Cinemas utilise our world-class technology to enhance their operations and achieve their vision for the future.”
