A cinema release runs on bookings, DCPs, KDMs, box office returns, and settlements — usually across a dozen spreadsheets. Routine's Theatrical module gives independent distributors one place to run the whole release, screen by screen.
From the first booking to the final settlement invoice — nothing lost between systems.
Track every theatrical release with its own detail page — versions, territories, and the full booking board in one view.
A proper cinema directory with contacts per function — booking, delivery, KDM — and circuit grouping across Odeon, Vue, independents, and more.
Order and track Key Delivery Messages per screen and per booking, alongside DCP delivery — so no screen goes dark on opening night.
Log weekly box office per booking and watch a release's performance build week over week — no chasing venues for numbers.
Generate settlement invoices per booking straight from the box office data. The commercial side of the release, handled in the same place.
Theatrical hangs off the same production as development, post, and marketing — so the film you made is the film you release, on one record.
Theatrical distribution has its own vocabulary and its own headaches — per-screen KDMs, circuit relationships, weekly returns, settlement maths. Routine models all of it natively, so your team works the way the business actually works.
Contacts by function. Store separate booking, delivery, and KDM contacts per cinema — reach the right person without digging through email.
Circuit grouping. Organise cinemas by circuit so a chain booking is one conversation, not fifty.
Delivery you can trust. Per-screen KDM tracking means encryption keys are never the reason a screening fails.
Most tools stop at delivery. Routine carries a title all the way to the cinema — so distribution masters, marketing campaigns, and theatrical bookings share one source of truth, and your release calendar lines up with everything that fed it.
No handover gaps. The versions your distribution team delivered are the versions your theatrical team books.
Client portal ready. Give a producer or financier a live view of the release without another export.
