"We're thrilled to bring Fandango to the Android(TM) platform," says Fandango Chief Marketing Officer Ted Hong. "We expect our Fandango app to be popular with film fans on the go, helping them make their moviegoing decisions and avoid the box office lines."

Movie fans can find movies playing nearby by using Android's GPS feature and connecting to Google Maps(TM) for driving directions, or can browse films under the "Opening This Week", "Top Box Office" and "Coming Soon" features.

Moviegoers can also add theaters to a "Favorites" list for faster searching and purchase tickets for more than 16,000 movie screens (more available screens than on any other app). For enhanced convenience, fans can sign into their Fandango account to purchase tickets with their credit card stored online -- or securely store their credit card to the device for super-fast purchasing.

As a special limited time offer, moviegoers who download or upgrade the Fandango Android(TM) app now through Oscar night, March 7, 2010, can purchase tickets with no service fee. The Fandango app is available for free from Android Market(TM) at http://www.android.com/market .
