I’ve been messing around with PHP and the Google Maps API and created a Movie Showtimes/Google Maps mashup prototype. Check it out and let me know what you think:
Nice and simple. One theater near me is missing… What do you use as your movietime source?
Any chance we could see the source and how you put it together?
Looks great. Thanks for posting.

Sorry, but this is just not working for me (I’m in NY)
I get a list of movies, but no theaters in FF.
In IE, just a “loading message”

This is great, better than the other mashups of this type I have seen. Would it be possible to create bookmarkable URLs of location and zoom level? Thanks a lot

Yes, please tell us how you’re getting the showtime data!

Hi,
This tool is fantastic, how are you able to produce the showtime data? Do you have any tutorials on how someone else can build a similar tool?

Hi, can you please tell me where you get the date for the movie times.
Thanks in advance.
Mike
I mean the data, not the date.

Been using this for a while – very handy mashup! I tend to visit particular theaters for their amenities rather than look for a movie, so would love to click thru on the movie titles for a theater to see if I’m interested in what’s playing.
Cool blog too!

looks like google changed its interface today and the mashup stopped working Any news if you'r going to update it?

Thanks for the heads up. It should be working now – I haven't had a chance to QA it completely yet so let me know if you find any problems.

I appreciate your kind response!

That's pretty slick… where are you getting your movie times from?

definitely a fun mashup. where are you getting this data?

I didn't see the code posted for this application, Cherie. I am a student working on a similar project (i started last night). The link is attached, but IMDB has blacklisted my free host for image hotlinking – so its not as cool looking as on my local server. Anyhow, I was wondering what PHP techniques you used to pull the data so quickly and efficiently from Google Movies. Every time i've tried scraping like that it takes more time.

Just wanted to let you know that a theatre is missing from your data. You have never responded to any of the questions about where you get your data, so it's impossible to know to whom we can send such errors. So if you won't tell, will you at least pass along the information?
Regal Majestic 20 900 Ellsworth Drive Silver Spring MD 20910
It is listed on other sites as being in “Silver Springs” (which doesn't exist), so perhaps that's the problem.
Thanks.

If it's on Fandango, it should be on the map. It's fixed now.
Ryan
This is pretty cool! But where are you extracting the data from?
RyderChadwick
Great job! I think this is a sign I should go to the theater nearby, I haven't been there since I was a little child. Where are you extracting your data from? I would like to do this, too, I see you haven't really had the time to reply to all the questions posted here, but I would appreciate if you could help me. Thanks! _______________ Ryder Chadwick – hughesnet
