👉 The showtimes fluid, also known as the flexible or dynamic scheduling model, is a cinema ticketing system that allows for real-time adjustments to showtimes based on various factors such as audience demand, movie popularity, and even weather conditions. Unlike traditional fixed schedules where showtimes are set in advance and cannot be changed, the fluid model enables theaters to modify their schedules throughout the day or even hourly. This approach aims to optimize seat occupancy, reduce empty seats, and increase revenue by offering more flexible options to moviegoers. For instance, if a popular movie is drawing large crowds, the showtimes might be extended or rescheduled to accommodate more viewers. Conversely, if a less popular film has few attendees, showtimes could be shortened or moved to different times. The fluid model thus provides a more responsive and customer-centric approach to cinema scheduling.
