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. It gives moviegoers another way to find movie times and book tickets.

Sydney, Australia, October 22, 2026 -- Event Cinemas is the first cinema chain in Australia to launch an app in ChatGPT. It gives moviegoers another way to find movie times and book tickets.

The launch makes it easier for customers to go from asking, “What movies are showing tonight?” to booking their seats in the same conversation.

The launch supports EVT’s wider goal of making its services easy to use through technology. It follows EVT Hotels & Resorts becoming the first hotel group in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) to launch its app in ChatGPT. It also shows the company’s commitment to making its brands easy to find and access wherever customers look for ideas and information.

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

“More and more people are using AI-powered conversations to plan their next outing. We want Event Cinemas to be the easiest cinema to find and book through these experiences. Being the first in Australia shows that we are focused on adapting to changing customer habits and making the journey from choosing a film to sitting in the cinema as simple as possible.”

The app is now available in ChatGPT.
