TVRs

Turning admissions into accountable AV metrics

DCM is committed to making cinema as accountable as other AV media.

By aligning with the industry-standard metric of TVRs (Television Ratings), we enable agencies and clients to plan, compare, and measure cinema alongside TV in a consistent way.

Film releases can be directly compared to TV programmes, clearly positioning cinema at the heart of effective AV planning.

How we calculate cinema TVRs

Our TVR figures are based on industry-recognised data sources, including:

  • Cinema exhibitor point-of-sale data (actual ticket sales)
  • Comscore sales house market share
  • CAA Film Monitor demographic profiling for individual films

Using this combined data, we calculate cinema-equivalent TVRs for key audiences — with a focus on 16–24s and 16–34s — across the year’s biggest releases.

Trusted and independently
verified

To ensure transparency and accuracy, DCM engages PwC UK (PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP) to carry out independent assurance procedures on the calculations behind our cinema TVRs.

This independent verification gives agencies and clients added confidence in how the figures are derived.
