Ampersand, Fandango and Kochava Launch TV-to-Ticket Solution
Ampersand announced a partnership with Fandango and Kochava to deliver a closed-loop theatrical advertising solution that connects deterministic TV exposure directly to verified ticket purchases. The collaboration combines Ampersand’s addressable TV footprint (62 million households across Comcast, Charter, Cox and partners Altice and Verizon), Fandango’s moviegoer reach (72% of moviegoers and up to 50% of U.S. box office transactions) and Kochava’s attribution capabilities to enable deterministic audience creation, privacy-focused activation, exposure tracking and closed-loop attribution for studios. The product leverages Fandango SmartScore and micro-segmentation to reach high-intent audiences and matches TV exposure to Fandango engagement and verified ticket sales to provide full-funnel optimization and measurement for theatrical campaigns.
Fandango Unifies Streaming, Tickets, Rentals
Fandango announced it has consolidated its consumer entertainment offerings — free streaming, movie ticketing, and premium rentals/purchases — under the single Fandango brand. The rebranded platform introduces guest viewing and a one-click "Watch Now" feature, with updates rolling out across mobile, web, and connected TV. Fandango also expanded its on-demand library by 20% to more than 3,500 hours via the Versant content library and added live sports coverage of Germany’s Bundesliga through a USA Sports long-term media rights agreement for exclusive English-language U.S. coverage.
Ampersand, Fandango, Kochava launch closed-loop attribution
Ampersand, Fandango and Kochava announced a closed-loop attribution partnership on June 2, 2026 that links Ampersand’s addressable household footprint, Fandango’s box-office and moviegoer reach, and Kochava’s deterministic attribution engine. The collaboration promises verified, deterministic TV-to-ticket attribution that shows whether an ad-exposed household purchased a ticket, enabling studios and advertisers to measure true box office outcomes from TV campaigns. The article places the launch in a flurry of theatrical and measurement moves (Screenvision leadership change, Comscore’s movie-data sale and rebrand, Lionsgate joining Movies Anywhere, MoviePass/Independent Cinema Alliance partnership) and argues the capability could quantify theatrical value as a top-of-funnel driver for downstream streaming behaviors (subscription starts, searches, watchlist adds).
