Chinese reports have been saying that around May 1, Google China unveiled its Onebox search function, which allows you to find movies and movie times. If you've used Google in the US, you are probably familiar with this function, it's the thing that sits atop the regular search results, as you can see in the pictures. The main key words are the movie, the name of the theater, and the city that you live in. For the most part, this means that you have to be able to type or do some cutting and pasting in Chinese, though it seems that pinyin city names work. Another report we saw says that the Google results are somewhat limited in that the results you get are for about 25 theaters, even though there are over 160 theaters in Shanghai. Our searches for Ironman and The Forbidden Kingdom show about 25 theater results.
