Did you check the availability of the movie first before going to the cinema?

The technology is there; why not use it? Of course and definitely I will check the availability of a movie and the showtime online first before I go straight to the cinema so as not to waste my time. But sometimes the information online may not be updated. There was once when I checked the rating for a movie online and it's advertised as G meaning that my 15 year old daughter can watch it. But when I got to the cinema it's stated that the rating for the movie is R so my daughter can't watch the movie. It was a total waste of my time.

I would always check on the Internet and newspaper to see if that particular I intend to watch is available at any of the cinemas nearby by place or city area so that I won't waste a trip to just go over to any of the cinemas if that particular movie I intend to watch is not showing at the cinemas I went to. I will only make a trip to the cinema without checking the availability of the movies when I am already out of home and happens to be nearby any cinemas and just feel like catching a movie.

I directly call a guy from FAME multiplex where we usually watch movies as I know him very well now...I also enquire about the availability of the tickets and book it directly via Phone..:)

I usually have contact no. of multiplexers,so i ask them which movie available,its better you ask by mobile,they also tell you rating of movie,and tell you best time for getting tickets ...

My brother does that... check on the internet first what movie is being played in the nearest mall... but in my case... i check when i am already in the mall which is all the time... and try to remember the the time when it will be shown... so that i will know when to go to the mall on the day i will watch...

I usually check the times first on the internet. Then if it is during the daytime I just go to my local cinema as it is never full during working hours. If it is an evening showing and it is a new release I sometimes check but often still go. I think sometimes it depends where you live, and how many cinemas there are nearby, as to whether you need to check.

Yes, I always check the availabilty of the movies online on the cinema's website. My city is dominated with 2 cinema chain, and both of their websites are reliable on updating their movies schedule. Either way, you can check the local newspaper or by SMS which also displays the movie schedule.

There is a nice cinema nearby my home and I can check the movie schedule via the net easily. So if we are going to watch a movie there, I will check which movies are available right now. It is very convenient.

I love China
