IMDb Launches Redesigned Showtimes & Ticketing Experience

We are excited to announce the launch of IMDb's redesigned showtimes and ticketing experience on imdb.com! The updated interface is designed to make finding showtimes and purchasing movie tickets easier and more enjoyable with a modern, streamlined presentation.

The new experience includes:

 

* Clean, modern design that prioritizes the most important information
* Enhanced theater and showtime discovery with improved filtering options
* Optimization for browsing on mobile devices
* Clearer presentation of available formats (IMAX, 3D, etc.)
* Prominent display of theater amenities and features

 

While ticket purchasing is currently available only for customers in the United States and Canada, users in all supported regions can continue to browse local cinemas, movies, and screening times with our enhanced discovery features.

 

These enhancements reflect feedback from IMDb customers and our in-depth research aimed at creating a more intuitive entertainment discovery and ticketing experience. The redesign maintains all the helpful features you rely on while making the process of finding showtimes and buying tickets more seamless than ever.

 

We hope you enjoy these latest improvements, and thank you for continuing to make IMDb the world's most trusted source for movie, TV, and entertainment content. As always, we welcome your feedback – please feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions in the comments below.

Hello! Can you add "in watchlist" in the filter "you and this list"? Without the possibility to filter like this the showtimes page has lost all of its interest :/

Hi @Maguelonne, thank you for taking the time to give feedback. I will share your suggestion with the team. Could you elaborate when you say "Without the possibility to filter like this the showtimes page has lost all of its interest" Is there something you could do on the previous version of the page that you can no longer do? Or are you suggesting this as an additional improvement? Thanks

Hello! On the previous version of the page I could see, day by day, which movies from my watchlist were playing around me (by filtering, in the category "You and this list", by "on watchlist"). Now in "You and this list" you can only filter by None / Titles I rated / Titles I didn't rate, and not according to what I want to see!

This problem relates to how titles are listed in the Showtimes & Tickets section. Looking at some theater listings this weekend, I see that one of the titles is displaying as "Episode #5.1". This title is actually an episode of the series "The Chosen" (2017) which is receiving theatrical distribution. The full formatted IMDb title is "The Chosen" (2017) {Episode #5.1 (#5.1)}. For an example of this, see https://www.imdb.com/showtimes/cinema/US/ci31409580/US/89109 . But the same situation applies to theaters throughout the USA where this title is currently playing. I would suggest that "bare" episode titles (without their respective series title) should not be listed in a context where they would not make sense. In the Showtimes & Tickets section, this episode would be recognizable if referred to as "The Chosen: Episode #5.1" but not just as "Episode #5.1".

You seriously got rid of the my most used feature of the website. Now it's just as useless as all other movie sites. You provided a single page with all of my fav theaters showing all of their showtimes so I could just scroll down the list and see everything I needed. Now, there is no way to view it all at a glance. I have to choose to look at each individual theater or each individual movie. I am exhausted just thinking about how much clicking I need to do to see all of the options. Please put it back the way it was!!

Hi sbwinter2a, thank you for taking the time to add your feedback here. You can use the filter options to filter the list of movies to only those playing in you favourite theaters https://www.imdb.com/showtimes/?now_playing=favorite-theaters&sort=popularity%2Casc You can then select the movie you wish to view and click thorough to view the theater and times that it is screening. We have attempted to optimize the experience for the majority of use cases, i.e. 1) Selecting a film to watch and then seeing where it can be viewed and 2) Selecting a theater to go to and looking at what films are available. I understand that your use case 'to see all movies and screening times in my favorite theaters in one place at the same time' is not possible at this time. I hope that the improved UI and browsing experience do something to make up for this.
