FANDANGO Smashes Records With Its Best Year in Company History

Fandango, the nation's leading moviegoer destination and unit of NBCUniversal, announced today that 2012 was the company's best-performing year in its 12-year history, with record highs in ticket sales, web and mobile traffic, and app downloads. The records include a 57% surge in annual ticket sales, 34% percent annual growth in monthly visitors to its online and mobile destinations, and 31 million downloads of its award-winning mobile apps. During peak months, Fandango saw 41 million monthly unique online and mobile visitors.*

Another notable first for Fandango in 2012 was the launch of its original digital video series, "The Frontrunners." Hosted by the nation's leading movie award expert and Fandango's new chief correspondent, Dave Karger , the series features one-of-a-kind video interviews with awards contenders such as Ben Affleck , Hugh Jackman and Amy Adams . "The Frontrunners" premiered in December and debuts new episodes weekly through the end of movie awards season in February.

"Our 2012 successes have further established Fandango as the go-to resource for the total moviegoing experience - from discovery, decision-making and ticketing, to going to the theater and sharing with friends after the credits roll," said Paul Yanover , President of Fandango. "In 2013, we'll continue our momentum and deliver advertising partners, exhibitors, and moviegoers even more products, services, and platforms that super-serve their needs."

Helping fuel Fandango's growth in 2012 was the company's expanded exhibitor and online portal reach. The company increased its theater network with deals that included AMC Theatres, Regency Theatres, and Southern Theatres. Fandango also signed partnership deals with Yahoo Movies, AOL Moviefone and MSN Movies, becoming the movie ticketing provider for all three of the Internet's top information portals.
