Update: The app is available now - click here for more info.

MovieTickets.com, one of the leaders in online tickets for all things movies, will soon be releasing an application for BlackBerry smartphones. The app will allow users not only to purchase movie tickets, but also to browse films, view movie posters and check out movie trailers. The app will utilize GPS to locate the closest theaters and showtimes for each user.

"Many movie-goers expect to quickly and conveniently access information and make ticket purchases anytime and anywhere," said Joel Cohen, CEO, MovieTickets.com. "Over the past couple of years, we've provided our ticketing solutions to many of the most popular apps in the market. We recognize the demand for MovieTickets.com-branded applications and we hope to see a positive response with this launch." 

The app is on the way and should be available in the next few months. For now, users can check out mobile.movietickets.com for more.

looks like that might be a better app than fandango but it doesnt work for any of the theatres around here.

Aite, have to say "few months" wasn't too long compare to us waiting for an 9700 official release of os6.

It will support Canada to ? or this will be international ?

it looks like an promising app :)

it is available for download from http://getbb.movietickets.com

The zip code field for finding theaters only accepts numbers so it will not work for Canada. Which is odd as the web site works, and I would assume it would be accessing the same database.

Poynt allows you to buy tickets now. Has been for quite a while.

MovieTickets.com was started in 2000 by Hollywood.com and AMC (American Multi-Cinema) Theatres as a way to get AMC into the online ticketing business. I was working for the theatre chain at the time.

Even today, it's still not easy to find online ticketing for AMC Theatres, but you can buy tickets to just about any of them through MovieTickets.com. As a bonus, MovieWatcher members pay no service charge.

An app should be quite nice.

This app is worthless! You can only purchase tickets at AMC locations and there's still a $1 service charge. I'll stick with the fandango app for now.

I get my tickets through Cineplex.com. No service charge. At $1 per ticket Movietickets.com's fee (which is the vehicle for Flixster and Poynt as well)is running almost 10% here in Canada. Ticket prices are high enough!

An awful app compared to others out there like Flixster...
