Google's movie showtimes, digitally remastered
November 11, 2009
Did you know you can immediately discover movie times and locations by typing a simple search on Google? For example, search for [
where the wild things are
] and you'll see times and places to watch the film, or try [
glendale 18 los angeles
] to see movies playing at your local theater. You can also click on the showtimes search result to get more complete movie listings and information.
Today, we're making a few improvements to movie results on Google, including more detailed movie pages, genre filters and a new map view.
Click "showtimes" in your search results for more detailed information.
When you visit google.com/movies, you'll discover a new, more comprehensive resource with all the information you need to decide what movie to see and where to see it:
Comprehensive movie pages: Deciding what movie to see can take a few searches: What's it about? How are the reviews? Where is it playing near me? Our new
detailed layout
brings together all the basic information you need with a plot synopsis, trailer, reviews and photos in the same page.
Genre filters: The new movie pages also give you new ways to explore films by genre and find one you're in the mood for. Sometimes, you might feel like seeing a
sci-fi flick
or a
romance
, but you're not sure what's out in theaters. With genre filters you can start browsing right away and quickly find the right movie for you.
Map view: After you've chosen a movie, the new
map view
shows you nearby theaters playing that exact film. You no longer need to do a separate search to find out where you're going.
We hope these improvements will help you spend more time at the movies and less time researching. Visit
google.com/movies
or click through a "showtimes" result to try them out, and treat yourself to a movie!
