Check Movie Times in Dashboard

October 28th, 2007 by steveblue

Apple has included a new Movie Times Widget in the Dashboard. Activate Dashboard by pressing F12 and Add the Movies Widget if it not already visible.

A Widget with Currently Showing Movie Posters will appear, just like at the theater!

Current Showing Movies in My Area!

If I Click the Widget, it will explode into two columns: Movies and Theaters.

I can adjust the zipcode the Widget is searching in by clicking the i icon in the lower left hand corner of the Widget.

Click a Movie Title to see which theaters it is currently showing at. To view Showtimes in the future, select the date in the upper right hand corner.

Click a Theater Name to view Showtimes.

To watch a trailer of the movie directly inside the widget, click Trailer.>

Click Buy Tickets to purchase tickets via Fandango. I must select a specific Showtime to activate the Buy Tickets option. This feature is only available for certain theaters.
