US entertainment platform Hollywood.com has announced AMC Theatres as its first partner as it launches a new mobile app that will offer tickets to movie screenings across the country.
The Hollywood.com app enables users to view movies, available showtimes, nearby theatres and seat options. Initially available for AMC Theatres screenings, users will be able to compare all available combinations from one single screen in a single transaction flow.
Hollywood.com said it is the only movie ticketing provider that offers live 24/7 customer support over the phone. It anticipates future updates to incorporate the use of AMC’s loyalty program, AMC Stubs.
“We wanted to create an innovative way where anyone who loves movies will be able to reserve the best seats — from small or indie, to epic blockbusters — and to give true entertainment enthusiasts an enhanced experience,” said Laurie Silvers, co-chief executive of Hollywood.com.
“Coupled with one of the strongest movie slates in history, the launch of the Hollywood.com app comes at a pivotal moment in the entertainment world.”
AMC is the largest movie exhibition company in the US, the largest in Europe and the largest throughout the world with approximately 950 theatres and 10,500 screens across the globe.
Hollywood.com was the first website to nationally display movie showtimes online in the early 2000s, and its content includes movie trailers, movie reviews, movie news and awards show coverage.
Silvers added: “As veterans of Hollywood entertainment, and pioneers of digital ticketing technology for the motion picture industry and fans ourselves, we know how to deliver an authentic enjoyable Hollywood experience via groundbreaking technology that is unlike anything else out there today.
“We designed our new app with today’s moviegoers in mind. This is just the beginning for our evolving entertainment platform.”
