Movies.com is a website owned by Fandango Media. It was acquired from Disney in June 2008.[2][3] The website has information about movies, upcoming movies, and theater information. It has also been the home of the official web site for the television show At the Movies, though the site now has a different domain.

In addition the site was home to the award-winning webshow entitled Statler and Waldorf: From the Balcony, a bi-weekly movie preview webcast starring the Muppets. Another webshow featured late Brandon Schantz and a movie spoof called The DiCaprio Code, parodying The Da Vinci Code.

As of May 29, 2019, the site has appeared not updated and unmaintained.
