The fields are as follows:
Theatre, Title, Auditorium #, Passes, Sound, Start date, End date*, times, placeholder,

*The end date is always the same as the start date, but I think it's included because they need the field. I know many of the sites display times by day, rather than listing all dates/times for the movie. It's been about 4 years since I set this up and I don't remember exactly why it's broken down on a daily basis.

We also like to notate special auditoriums, 35mm, digital, RealD etc and only our internal website and movietickets.com will do it - the others like yahoo simply homogonize the listings without any other information (I've been witness to a few customer complaints about not having the shows with special pricing marked on Yahoo even though there was no "standard" pricing listed either)
David,

This is something that I'm always very much a stickler about. Of course, the actual showtimes are the most important, but I think it's also very important to my readers that the digital sound, digital cinema, and other flags are also present.

Could you check your showtimes (I'm hoping I have the correct theater for you), and let me know if there are any missing details?

I have the same info that movietickets.com does, in regards to digital cinema and luxury auditoriums, but neither site has digital sound or stadium seating information (although movietickets.com seems to put those under an all-encompassing "this theater offers" feature list).

If there is anything missing, I will pester my contact at CinemaSource to make sure that we're getting all the data that we should be getting.

That goes for anyone else here. If there is information that we're not showing on your showtimes that you are providing, please let me know and I will pursue it!
