The central database server stores cinema exhibition data in a relational database to support execution of different user tasks for one or more CEM modules selected from film solicitation, film booking, showtimes, trailer requests and placements, box office reports and payment vouchers. A CEM application on the web application server is accessible from a plurality of remote computer terminals by distribution and exhibition users to interface with the relational database to check user permissions and assignments to filter and then display authorized cinema modules and tasks therefore, filter records from the relational database in accordance with a selected task, permissions and assignments and route the records to the user, prompt the user to perform the selected task, and change the status of records in the relational database upon completion of the task so that at least one different user can view and perform additional tasks associated with those records. |
