Odeon is on Vista’s books as using its Managed Services offering in the U.K., Ireland, Portugal, and Spain, and this new agreement – which will last five years – includes more than 309 sites and 2,448 sites, with this comprising the majority of managed, and all owned sites outside the United States.

Finland’s Finnkino circuit, which comprises 17 sites, will be the first to go live under the new arrangement; this is planned for the second half of 2025. The U.K. and Ireland – with 114 sites – will then follow this in 2026.

Vista Group CEO Stuart Dickinson said the importance of continuing a business relationship with Odeon, a subsidiary of the largest cinema operator in the world, AMC Cinemas, could not be overstated.

“This significant move underscores Odeon Cinemas Group’s confidence in our technology and strategic direction,” he explained.

“Odeon Cinemas Group is a real force in the industry and this transition is a testament to the robust capabilities and future-proof nature of our solutions.
