Work out cinema seat occupancy instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Occupancy is tickets sold over seats available, and the daily figures multiply both by the number of screenings. Cinema economics turn on occupancy rather than admissions, because the cost of running a screening is almost identical whether ten or a hundred seats sell.

occupancy % = tickets sold / seats x 100
