A Movie of Convenience

Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing about the new site that lets you in on where the boring parts of new movie releases will happen.

We all know and love Fandango. We can buy tickets (most importantly) but also read reviews. More popular review sites include Rotten Tomatoes (they’re usually pretty accurate in their ratings). Now there’s a new site that goes one step further in its reviews.

Runpee.com doesn’t care if the movie’s great or not, it wants the experience to be enjoyable. In that sense this site does something no one else does, they screen for the most appropriate times in any new releases to run to the bathroom. They list both the time (how long the movie’s been running) as well as the line/scene you’re waiting for before you run out. That’s right, sometimes with that extra large Pepsi there just isn’t a chance you’re gonna make it to the end. But hey, you’ve checked Rotten Tomatoes and you know the movie’s good. Well Runpee makes sure you only miss the less than necessary parts. How convenient.
