Event Cinemas brings session search and booking to ChatGPT, an Australian cinema first

Event Cinemas is the first cinema chain in Australia to launch an app in ChatGPT, giving moviegoers another way to find sessions and book tickets.

The launch creates a more seamless consumer journey, allowing customers to go from “what’s on at the movies tonight?” to booking their seats in one conversation.

The launch reinforces EVT’s broader commitment to delivering seamless, technology-enabled experiences across its portfolio. It builds on EVT Hotels & Resorts becoming the first ANZ hotel group to launch its app in ChatGPT and reflects the company’s commitment to ensuring its brands are visible and easy to access wherever customers are seeking inspiration and information.

Andrew Turner, EVT Group General Manager of Technology and Digital, said,

“More and more people are turning to AI-powered conversations to plan their next outing. We want Event Cinemas to be the easiest cinema to find and to book within those experiences. Being first in Australia reflects our focus on adapting to changing customer behaviours and making the path from deciding on a film to sitting in the cinema as simple as possible.”

The app in ChatGPT is now live.
