In Nice, the Rialto and Variétés cinemas are partnering with OZZAK, a booking platform that promises discounted tickets without a loyalty card or subscription. An initiative that raises a very concrete question: how can we encourage Nice residents to return to cinema halls throughout the year?
Discounted rates without subscription
The principle presented by OZZAK is simple: viewers can search for screenings offered at reduced prices and book their tickets online. The conditions and rates depend on the offers displayed at the time of booking. Before purchasing, it’s best to compare the final price with the one charged directly by the cinema.
Rialto and Variétés: two Nice venues involved
The announced rollout concerns two establishments known to cinema lovers in Nice, the Rialto and the Variétés. For operators, the stakes go beyond highly attended major releases: it’s also about filling quieter screenings and retaining an audience that sometimes hesitates to venture out.
Bringing audiences back
According to figures released by OZZAK, 65% of its users say they go to the cinema more often and 20% were previously moviegoers who no longer went. This data comes from the platform itself and does not constitute an independent measurement of cinema attendance in Nice.
For residents, the interest of this new service will be judged mainly by its use: choice of films, available times, actual savings achieved and ease of booking. Cinemas remain essential cultural venues for the life of the city center.
