Cinema listing feeds - how to acquire?

[Azam.net]

There are numerous sites which have the same listing times for cinemas up and down the country. Anybody know where to source them from please?

Spent ages looking in the search engines, but no joy.

Cheers.

try contacting the cinema's directly. The headoffices etc.

They may even have RSS feeds for that now.

Thank you very much Dubblevision. I have tried contacting the cinema's directly, but no luck.

Anyhow, it would be too time-consuming to manually bring together cinema times from different cinemas.

I know there is a central source that many sites use, but it's impossible to find out where they get the data from!

Thanks.

Did you have any luck with this? I need a similar thing myself.

One way to achieve this would be to scrape the sites. However this wouldn't be something I would advise on a large scale.
