Query NZ cinema locations, now-playing movies, and session times across Event Cinemas, HOYTS, Reading Cinemas, Rialto, and Berkeley Mission Bay. Read-only; no booking, ticket, or payment.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# NZ Cinemas

## Goal

Query live New Zealand cinema locations, current movies, and session times through a small deterministic CLI with human-readable and JSON output, without browser automation, login, or booking actions.

## Use this when

- A user asks what movies are showing at a New Zealand cinema
- A user wants session times for a movie in New Zealand
- A user asks for locations for Event Cinemas, HOYTS, Reading Cinemas, Rialto, or Berkeley Mission Bay
- A workflow needs lightweight machine-readable NZ cinema showtime data
- A user needs a fast read-only alternative to browser-driven cinema lookup

## Do not use this for

- Booking tickets, selecting seats, placing orders, refunds, payments, member accounts, vouchers, or loyalty actions
- Cinemas outside New Zealand
- Historical showtime claims unless another dataset provides history
- High-volume scraping or republishing cinema schedules as a dataset
- Price comparisons; the implemented endpoints focus on movies, cinemas, and sessions

## Preferred workflow

1. Run `scripts/cli.py` with the narrowest subcommand that answers the task
2. Use `cinemas` to resolve a cinema name, slug, or source id

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-cinemas@sha256:7364238b085ba9fe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.1748a98, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
