History
Established in 2014, Atom Tickets obtained Series A funding with Lionsgate leading the round. The enterprise was founded by Matthew Bakal (chairman), Ameesh Paleja, and Geoff Shaevitz. Paleja conceived the idea to tackle the difficulties associated with organizing group movie outings, focusing on streamlining both planning and ticket purchasing processes. On February 1, 2016, the company completed a Series B funding round, attracting investments from entities such as The Walt Disney Company, 20th Century Fox, and Lionsgate. Later, on May 21, 2018, actors Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia became investors and advisors to the firm.
Services
Through its app and website, Atom Tickets allows customers to buy movie tickets conveniently. Additionally, select theaters provide the option to pre-order concessions via the platform.
In March 2019, Atom Tickets launched Atom Movie Access, a subscription-based service enabling theater operators to design personalized movie subscription offerings tailored to their venues.
