Rentrak Corporation has announced the release of FilmScope and FilmScope Worldwide, the first consumer applications from Rentrak's Theatrical Group for use on Apple's popular iPhone and iPod touch. FilmScope will provide film enthusiasts with top line U.S. domestic box office results and expanded film information, and FilmScope Worldwide will offer an international perspective with box office intelligence on multiple international territories, all of which was previously only available to Rentrak subscribers.

The calendar tool provides a schedule of upcoming film releases, while the "Top Films" section allows movie lovers to view the top films of all time based on genre, rating or release year.
Additional features include:
-- Actor/Director Lookup
-- Box Office Breakdown
-- Film Search

*Available on FilmScope Worldwide
An indispensible tool for movie fans, FilmScope also allows users to read reviews and purchase movie tickets via their iPhone or iPod touch.

"FilmScope allows iPhone and iPod touch consumers a fun and comprehensive way to find out everything they ever wanted to know about new and previously released movies and the actors, directors and studios behind them."
