Short description: US movie ticket company

Atom Tickets is a company based in Santa Monica, California that sells movie tickets and services through its app and website.

History

Established in 2014, Atom Tickets' Series A funding was led by Lionsgate.^[2] It was started by three partners, Matthew Bakal (currently co-founder and chairman), Ameesh Paleja (co-founder), and Geoff Shaevitz (co-founder).^[3] Paleja says that the idea for Atom Tickets came about because he and his friends, "were frustrated with the experience of coordinating a night out at the movies with friends. Between planning the group and picking the movie, the theater, and the show time, plans often fall apart."^[4] On February 1, 2016, they announced a completed Series B round of financing from investors that include The Walt Disney Company, 20th Century Fox and Lionsgate.^[2] On May 21, 2018, Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia joined as investors and advisers.^[5]

Services

Atom Tickets allows users to buy movie tickets through their app or at their website. In addition to ticket sales, some theaters offer advanced concession sales through the service.^[6]

In March 2019, Atom Tickets launched Atom Movie Access, a movie subscription service for cinemas that allows exhibitors to create their own customized movie subscription plan.^[7]^[8]
