Dear Hagen,
Yes, there is such an online database. It is called IMDB Pro, and it
is a premium part of the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). It contains,
according to their description:
"In Production
Expanded in production information for over 1,500 film and television
projects.
Contact Listings
Contact information for over 26,000 individuals and 5,800 companies in
the film & television industry.
Box Office
U.S. daily & weekly grosses as well as international box office
listings for 18 countries.
Advanced Search
Generate millions of customized search reports from a database of over
7.5 million credits.
News
Complete entertainment industry news coverage from the Hollywood
Reporter, Studio Briefing, & WENN. "

As you could see in this page, you could have free-trail for two weeks
on this database.
It costs $12.95 for a monthly subscription, $32.95 for 3 months and
$99.95 for an annual account. They have also special prices for
corporate accounts.
IMDB itself provides, for free, partial information in that spirit:

US Show times <http://www.imdb.com/showtimes/>
Now Playing <http://www.imdb.com/nowplaying/>
Being part of Amazon, IMDB offers API.

My search strategy: Being a movie buff, I knew about this database. I
later searched the web, to find if there is a similar service that
would match, as well as a search for IMDB and API, only to be sure.
I hope this answered your question. Please contact me if you need any
further clarifications on this answer, before you rate/tip it. |
