01 / Sectors — Cinemas & Entertainment Venues

Sell the full experience, not just the ticket.

Twinflow creates immersive 3D models of premium auditoriums, bar and lounge spaces, and entertainment facilities — giving groups, corporates, and families the visual confidence to book the premium experience rather than the standard option.

02 / The challenge The experience upsell gap

Premium cinema formats and entertainment venues compete on experience. Most can't show it online.

IMAX, 4DX, luxury recliners, gold class — premium cinema formats command a significant price premium over standard screens. Yet most cinema chains present these formats through the same photo and text format as their standard screens. Similarly, entertainment venues — bowling, escape rooms, mini-golf, immersive bars — are selling experiences that photography struggles to convey. The venues that show the experience most effectively online win the group bookings and special occasion spend.

03 / What it does Every screen and space, navigable

Every premium screen, every lounge, every experience — navigable before the booking is made.

Twinflow captures your premium screens, seating configurations, bar and lounge areas, and entertainment spaces — delivering a navigable model that groups and event bookers can explore before committing. The size of the room, the quality of the seating, the feel of the VIP lounge — all of it visible, measurable, and shareable.

04 / Use cases Three revenue streams in cinema and entertainment

Designed for every revenue stream in the entertainment venue.

01
Premium screen showcase

Make the difference between standard and premium impossible to miss.

02
Group and corporate bookings

Win screen hires and private event bookings remotely.

03
Experience and entertainment walkthrough

Tease the experience without giving it away.

01 Premium screen showcase

The price difference between a standard ticket and a premium format is immediately justified when the prospect can see exactly what they are getting. A 3D model of your premium auditorium communicates the scale of the screen, the quality of the seating, and the space between rows in a way that a flat photograph or a written specification cannot.

In practice

  • Full premium auditorium models — IMAX, 4DX, luxury recliners — embedded on format-specific pages
  • Seating configuration visible from any vantage point — guests can check their seat view before booking
  • Screen scale and room proportions communicated through the navigable model
  • Model integrated into the cinema's online ticketing journey as a pre-purchase decision tool
  • Model used in paid advertising campaigns targeting premium format bookings
Impact · Higher premium format ticket sales through visual clarity
02 Group and corporate bookings

Screen hires, corporate entertainment evenings, product launches in auditoria, and team events in private screens represent high-value bookings made by event managers and PAs comparing multiple options simultaneously. A navigable 3D model shared in the first response positions you ahead of every competitor who sends only a rate card.

In practice

  • Private screening room and event-format screen models sent with every group enquiry response
  • Floor plan and capacity exports for event planners assessing layout and catering options
  • Bar, lounge, and pre-cinema reception area captures to show the full event journey
  • Model embedded on dedicated group and event bookings pages
  • Shareable link for the enquiring PA or event manager to forward to decision-makers
Impact · Group bookings won at shortlisting stage, before any site visit
03 Experience and entertainment walkthrough

Escape rooms, bowling, immersive bars, indoor mini-golf — experiential entertainment venues are selling something uniquely difficult to convey in static photography. A Twinflow model captures the environment and atmosphere without spoiling the experience — showing the scale, the production values, and the setting.

In practice

  • Lobby, reception, and pre-game briefing area captures to convey production values
  • Bowling lane captures showing scale, lighting, and the social environment
  • Escape room exterior and lobby captures that create intrigue without revealing puzzles
  • Bar and social areas captures to position the venue as a full evening out
  • Model used in birthday and corporate booking marketing to set expectations accurately
Impact · Bookings converted by immersive previews without spoiling experience
05 / How it works From scope to launch

A simple process scheduled around your operating hours.

STAGE 01
Scope and scheduling

We agree which screens, lounges, and entertainment areas to capture and schedule around your trading hours.

STAGE 02
On-site capture

Our technician captures all agreed areas. Auditoriums can be captured with house lights up for clear visibility, or with atmospheric lighting.

STAGE 03
Model delivery

Models processed and delivered within 24 hours. Individual models for each space, embed codes, and floor plan exports provided.

STAGE 04
Hosting and refresh

Models hosted on Matterport. Refresh captures available when new screens open or significant changes are made.

06 / ROI The business case

One additional group booking or premium format upsell justifies the capture investment.

For venues where group bookings and premium format tickets represent significant revenue, the virtual tour is a direct revenue tool. A single screen hire or corporate event booking won from the model generates more than the cost of capture and hosting.
