Since 2012, Kinomatics have collected records of film screenings (showtimes) from around the world.

This unique dataset describes all movie showtimes and cinema locations for all films released in the majority of global cinema markets. In particular, we collected data between November 2019 and June 2021 inclusively. This period is particularly interesting because it covers the onset and diffusion of COVID-19 around the world.

Our data includes approximately 4,890 time-stamped XML files, with an average of 3,860 datapoints in each file—around 19 million datapoints in total.Earlier baseline data collected between 2012 and 2015 is used to measure the extent of longitudinal and seasonal change. This data comprises almost 18 million datapoints.
