Apple Adds Showtimes to Movie Trailer Site
Macworld reports that Apple has added listings of showtimes to its movie trailer site, offering a slick HTML5 interface that utilizes geo-location to find theaters in your area.
When you visit the page, your Web browser will ask to use your current location, after which it will display a small Google Map highlighting nearby theaters (you can also enter your own ZIP code or city and state).
Clicking on any of the theaters in the map (or on their entry in the list below the map) will show you a thumbnail grid of the posters for all the films playing at that location. You can even flip through multiple pages of theaters if the one you're looking for didn't show up in the top five. Hovering your cursor over any of the posters tells you when the next showing at that theater is.

To tell you the truth, I didn't know Apple even had this.
Apple had HD trailers for years, but didn't really advertise it.
Pretty awesome! Current movie sites are all pretty clunky.
so true! I am assuming Apple's isn't, haven't looked at it yet.
Alas that feature never made it to the UK.
Still, nice to see someone at Apple still plodding away at this.
I know Apple has trailers but it was hard to find, most of time I just go to Rotten Tomato. This new webpage is excellent, Apple needs to advertise more. It's just so much better then a lot of movie websites. It also works on iPhone, it's a little bit small but it works.
The Apple TV has a HD movie trailers category. It's one of the coolest things about it. The new one appears to have it too.
Also, you can view the Movie trailers on any Mac by going to the Frontrow app (click Command+Esc and wait a couple seconds).
This has always been an awesome site to get HD trailers that download very quickly. It also carries them far in advance of when they release in theaters.
I notices that Freakonomics is available via iTunes on Sept 3 and theaters Oct 1. That's interesting...
