Currently-showing movies aggregator 🍿

A currently-in-theatres movie website for theatres near me. No showtimes, just the posters, for films playing today and tomorrow.

Next.js 16 (app router) project deplyed on Vercel ▲. Every night via GitHub Actions, it scrape my local movie theatres and saves the contents to a JSON file. The Next app reads the JSON file and searches for the normalized titles on TMDB to display the posters. No database. Statically-generated at build time.

Commands

• pnpm i to install
• pnpm dev for the dev server
• pnpm scrape:install for Playwright installation
• pnpm scrape to scrape, pnpm scrape -- --theater [id] for an individual theatre

Requirements

• AMC_API_KEY from AMC Developer Portal
• TMDB_API_KEY from TMDB API

How it works

                                (group by title, split days)
                                         │
                                         ▼
                                src/app/page.tsx (SSG)
                                + TMDB poster lookup
                                         │
                                         ▼
                                <FilteredHome> (client)
                                theatre filter + movie lists

Each theatre picks an adapter that knows how to fetch showtimes:

• regal: Playwright (needs Chromium) loads Regal’s showtimes API
• cinemark: HTTP + Cheerio against Cinemark’s showtimes endpoint
• amc: AMC developer API
• cinematheque: Cinematheque JSON showtimes endpoints

It only saves the films with dates that map to today and tomorrow to the JSON file.
