Find Local Theaters and Movie Listings With Google Syntax

By , About.com Guide

The syntax for this is movie: followed by the movie name and your city name and state or zip code. Do put spaces in between the words. For instance, you could find local listings of Return of the King in Seattle by searching for:
movie: return of the king seattle, wa

Note: Google is not forgiving with the spelling of movie names, and it won't tell you that the movie has left the theaters. You must spell the movie exactly the way it appears, although you can leave off words Google usually ignores, such as "a" or "the." The same search would work as:

movie: return king 98101

and it would work even better as:
movie: 98101
, although this would list all movies playing in nearby theaters.
