IMDb makes it easy to browse movie showtimes near you and buy movie tickets. You can pre-order movie tickets to guarantee your seat, skip the lines when you arrive at the theater, and even pre-order drinks, popcorn, candy, and other concessions at select theaters.
To save your favorite theaters, just click the heart icon next to the theater name to mark it as a favorite. Our listings include standard movie showtimes, plus premium formats like RealD 3D and IMAX. You can browse by movie, by theater, or by the time you want to head out to the movie.
You can also filter movies based on genre, IMDb rating, content rating, release year, and more. All these options are available on IMDb.com on desktop or mobile browser, or through our IMDb mobile app available on Android and iOS.
Users in the U.S. and Canada can purchase tickets via IMDb Ticketing, powered by Atom Tickets.
To purchase tickets on the IMDb app, visit the Showtimes page via the "Search" tab. From this page, you can filter the results by Movies, Theaters, or a specific date that works for you. Once you have found the perfect option, select "Tickets", then select "Buy Tickets" next to the showtime of your choosing.
IMDb does not provide ticket purchasing for other countries at this time.
On IMDb.com, you can also choose Showtimes by selecting your nearest or favorite theater, or by clicking on the movie you'd like to see.
To book tickets, just click the Showtime you've chosen and you'll be redirected to Atom Tickets.
If you have specific theaters that your prefer in your area, you can set it as a "favorite" for quick future reference. On desktop, just click the heart icon next to the theater.
Your favorite theaters will appear under the All favorite theaters section of the Theaters subpage. This subpage can be accessed by clicking "Theaters" on the Showtimes & tickets page.
On Android devices, you'll see the option to select "Theaters" at the top of the Showtimes page. You can tap the heart icon to the right of any theater you'd like to mark as a favorite. Your favorite theaters will appear under "Favorite Theaters" at the top of this page.
On iOS devices, you can do the same as above, as seen below.
IMDb uses location services in your mobile device or browser to provide up to date showtime information in your area. Location services must be turned on to use Showtimes.
You can update your location by turning off the "Current Location" setting on your browser, or by using the select your location option to manually input the zipcode you want to search.
When you change your location to a postal code, we remember the postal code for when you visit the Showtimes page again later. The remembered postal code will be a "coarse" postal code, even if you originally entered a "fine" postal code.
For example, in the U.S., if you enter a "fine" Zip+4 postal code (e.g. 98105-3702).
When you revisit the page again later, the remembered postal code will only be the "coarse" five-digit zip postal code (e.g. 98105)
On an iOS device, tap the "Showtimes near" zip postal code pin, and you'll see a "Current location" toggle.
To change your search area, toggle your current location to "off" and enter your zip postal code.
Android devices also have the "Showtimes near" zip postal code pin, tap this and you'll see the "Use Device Location" toggle. To change your search area, toggle your device location to "off", and enter your compatible country and zip postal code.
The Showtimes & tickets page will include a list of upcoming dates for the week ahead. Simply select the desired date to be taken to available showtimes for that date.
On iOS devices, you'll see the currently selected date displayed at the top of the Showtimes page, near the "current location" pin icon. To get to the Showtimes page, select Watch Options on the title and then select See Showtimes. Just tap this date to bring up a list of dates to select from.
Android device users will see a small arrow next to the "current location" pin icon. Tapping the arrow will bring up your range of dates to select.
