Annoying that they don't seem to have the actual run and pee times on the website

Because you have to download the app (so they can gather your telemetry data to sell to advertisers) and pay for it via their credits system.

It’s the same reason everything is moving towards apps instead of websites.

They want you to pay for that information

It definitely wasn't always monetized that way. I get that everyone needs to make money but who goes to the movies with the intent to pee during the film so often that they would pay for that?

Hang on. When do you ever intend to pee?

Have you met other humans? We all have different bodies and they don’t all behave the same way. In fact we all have unique perspectives, needs, desires etc. I hope you’re not stumbling through life with such a simplistic viewpoint.

Well I don't pee during movies that's for sure. You pee before the movie and unless it's 4 hours long you should be good to go for the whole thing.

I tried the app a few years ago and it was decent until they tried some really obnoxious ways to monetize it. As I recall you had to purchase “tokens” and use them to access content. Has it gotten any better or do they still make you jump through hoops?

Man that sounds obnoxious. I've never used it before. I saw it in a list of sites and thought it was worth sharing. Turns out... it might no have been the best share. Sorry ha.

Their CSS skills are lacking.
