Cinema trends 2025 – how cinema inspires all over again

Cinema is going through real change. Streaming services are booming, yet the magic of watching a film together remains irreplaceable. Why? Because the industry is reinventing itself – with technology, community and data-driven solutions. Here are the most important trends, and they all point the same way: cinema is not dead – it is getting better than ever.

CineOrder outlook: What could be new?

At the request of our partners, we would also like to show you projects that we are working on. Such projects are not always taken into live operation or go beyond conceptualisation, but are part of our everyday life and give you a little insight behind the scenes of Compeso and our team.

40 years of Compeso – 40 years on board

Michael Halevy is celebrating his 40th anniversary with the company and, with it, the 40-year success story of a company founded in 1984. Michael is not only a fixture at Compeso, he has also shaped the company’s development and success to a decisive degree.

Next Level Cinema meets Next Generation Development

CineOrder is the next platform for cinema software, tailored to the next generation of cinema professionals. That also means taking new paths and trusting the next generation of developers with this project.

QR code on receipts

Sooner or later there will also be test purchases in your movie theater by employees of the tax authorities. With the purchase, your guest will of course receive the receipt with the fiscal information including signature.

Cash payment in an online store?

Our vision at Compeso is to make cash, checkouts and counters superfluous in the coming years. By shifting orders to the ATM and the online store, higher concession sales are achieved and queuing at the counter is avoided. Of course, this is a marathon, not a sprint.

Only one week to go until Cologne

Alexandra and Edin are really looking forward to seeing the next films of the coming season with you and to talking with you about the challenges facing your cinemas.

Yellow, Chaotic, Individual

To mark the launch of Minions, we let the Minions loose in the CineOrder.webshop at Kinopolis and Filmpalast.

New purchase confirmation email

The information requirements for moviegoers have changed significantly in recent years. Today, 80% of online purchases are made via a mobile device. Additional purchases such as vouchers and concessions now also need a place for information in more and more sales.

To this end, we have completely redesigned the purchase confirmation email.

Cashless checkout = faster service

The current trend in the retail sector shows the way: Guests are increasingly tending to order and pay online or at self-checkout counters. In an initial demo in Baden-Baden, we showed what a cashless checkout solution could look like. By relocating cash acceptance to the ATM, the working time per guest is reduced and ensures greater guest satisfaction with lower personnel costs.
