Add a Distributor
In order to correctly report grosses to distributors, it's important to add the distributor for each show and specify how you want to report the earnings. Movies screened within programs are also included in reports, but distributors need to be assigned to each movie included in the program.
To add a distributor
- Go to Movie > Distributors
- Click on Add New
- Fill out the distributor contact information in the Name, Contact Name(s), Contact Email(s) and Payment Address fields. The "Contact" fields are for your reference only, and are optional. Only the distributor's Name is required.
- In the "Send eBORs to" field, select how this distributor should receive electronic box office reports (eBORs): Comscore Swift, MaccsBox, or None. This selection is required. Choose None for distributors that don't accept eBORs. You can still send them reports manually (see Add a DistributorManual Box Office Reports below).
You can also add a distributor when you're adding a new movie by clicking on the add a new distributor link.
eBOR Reporting Schedule
eBORs are sent after midnight each Friday to Comscore and MaccsBox for the prior Friday through Thursday.
Modifying a weekly eBOR report
If you need to revise an eBOR, visit Sales > 3rd Party Reporting, find the week for the showtime(s) you need to revise, and click on Send Adjustment. You'll then be able to manually modify the grosses as needed and resend the eBOR.
Manual Box Office Reports
For distributors who do not accept Box Office Reports via Comscore Swift or MaccsBox, you can download and then send a Box Office Report to a distributor by visiting Sales > Reports > Ticket Sales > Box Office Report and downloading the CSV for the appropriate show and date range.
