Nothing to do tonight? Make it a film
When you have a free evening and your friends are busy, Cinemeet helps you turn it into a cinema night: see what's playing, then find someone nearby who wants to go too, or join an event someone else has already planned.
It's six o'clock, the evening is free, and everyone you'd normally call already has plans. The default is the couch and an hour of scrolling through streaming menus, choosing nothing in particular. It's not that you want to stay in. It's that going out alone takes a plan, and nobody's around to make one with.
The cinema is the easiest spontaneous plan
Films play every evening, usually at several times, so you can decide at six and still make a screening at eight. There's nothing to reserve weeks ahead and nothing to organise.
The only thing missing is someone to go with. That's the part Cinemeet fills in.
How to plan it in the next hour
- See what's playing. Open Cinemeet and check the films showing near you this evening.
- Join or create an event. Join a screening someone nearby has already planned, or create one for the film you want to see and let others join.
- Meet in the foyer. Agree where to meet, watch the film, and decide afterwards whether to grab a drink.
Going alone is fine too
Going to the cinema on your own is a perfectly good evening, and plenty of people do it. Cinemeet isn't there because going alone is a problem. It's there for the nights you'd rather turn to someone afterwards and ask what they thought of the ending.
Want this more often than once? Find a regular movie buddy, or if you've just moved, see how to make friends in a new city.
Questions about last-minute plans
What can I do tonight if my friends are busy?
Go to the cinema. Films play every evening, you don't need to book weeks ahead, and the plan comes with a fixed start time and a natural ending. With Cinemeet you can look for someone nearby who wants to go too, or join a screening someone else has already planned.
Can I find someone to go to the movies with tonight?
Often, yes, but it depends on who is nearby and free. Open Cinemeet, check whether there's an event you can join tonight, or create one for a screening you want to see and let people nearby join. If nobody can make it, going on your own is a perfectly good evening too.
Is it weird to go to the movies alone?
Not at all. Plenty of people go to the cinema alone, and once the lights go down nobody notices. Cinemeet is there for the evenings you'd rather share the film, not because going alone is a problem.
How do I know what's playing near me?
The Cinemeet app shows what's playing in cinemas around you, so you can pick a screening and see who else wants to go.
What does Cinemeet cost?
Cinemeet is free to download and free to use on iOS and Android. Cinema tickets are bought at the cinema as usual, Cinemeet doesn't sell them.
