Google Assistant Can Book You Movie Tickets: Here's How
Google Assistant is getting a new feature today that helps you attend the latest blockbuster movie without lifting a finger. With Google Assistant, you cannot only search for movies and showtimes near you, but, following a partnership with Fandango, you can also purchase tickets using Google's voice assistant. You will then be brought to Fandango's web portal.
Or just ask Assistant to show you times for a particular movie at home or on your phone, and move on from there.
Although the May the 4th connection with Fandango integration is pretty tenuous, you can also check out Google's collection of more directly applicable Star Wars stuff on Google Play. Fandango ticketing is scheduled to launch on the Google Assistant for iOS devices by the end of the year. You may need to join the beta, which you can do by opting-in through a box at the bottom of the link below.

This new ticket-buying feature is a partnership through Fandango, so that means you are likely restricted to theatres that are in the Fandango network.
The post The Force is strong with Google Assistant on this Star Wars Day appeared first on Digital Trends. You can even buy advance tickets for upcoming movies, like "Solo: A Star Wars Story" opening on May 25th.
