Screenline was created in response to the rapid transformation of the filmed entertainment business from one focused on U.S. box office receipts to one increasingly dependant upon international markets and ancillary platforms as a means to profitability. Gone are the days of measuring the success of a film by its U.S. performance; today it takes careful analysis of a film’s worldwide impact to understand its true marketplace value.

Key to the effort of providing solid international intelligence was finding a better resource for international box office data. While many firms publish Top 10 charts for the 20 largest markets, BaselineStudioSystems felt the increased weight international markets play in a film’s theatrical life warranted deeper coverage. Enter Screenline GmbH, a firm that has been tracking the production and performance of films screening in over 40 territories for more than a decade. The June 2006 acquisition of Screenline gave Baseline the resources it needed to effectively track production and release activity across languages and borders.
