PremierePing

PremierePing is a mobile + web app that alerts moviegoers the moment theatrical showtimes and ticket sales go live for upcoming releases in their area. Users pick films, formats (IMAX, Dolby, 70mm), preferred theaters, and time windows, then get instant push/SMS alerts when listings appear or when better seats open up from cancellations. It also tracks limited releases and expansion patterns so you can catch smaller films before they disappear. The app doesn’t try to be another review site; it’s a utility for people who actually buy tickets. Monetization is straightforward: a low-cost subscription for real-time alerts, plus optional affiliate revenue where available. Realistically, the hardest part is data reliability—so the MVP focuses on a few major chains/regions first, then expands as coverage improves.
