Introduction

An online movie booking system is a digital platform that revolutionizes

the way people reserve tickets and experience movies. It allows users to
browse through a diverse range of movies, check showtimes, select
seats, and securely purchase tickets without the need to visit a physical
box office. This system brings convenience by offering a user-friendly
interface accessible via computers and mobile devices, empowering
users to book tickets from anywhere at any time. Additionally, it often
provides information about upcoming releases, trailers, reviews, and
various payment options, enhancing the overall movie-going experience
for audiences.
 1.1 BACKGROUND
The background of online movie booking systems dates back to the late
1990s and early 2000s when the internet began to gain widespread
popularity. Initially, movie ticket booking was primarily done through
physical box offices or via telephone. However, as technology advanced
and e-commerce became more prevalent, the entertainment industry
recognized the potential of online platforms to streamline ticket sales
and enhance customer convenience.

The emergence of online movie booking systems was a natural

evolution, driven by the desire to provide a more efficient and accessible
way for people to book movie tickets. Companies started developing
websites and later mobile apps that allowed users to browse movie
listings, check showtimes, select seats, and purchase tickets
electronically.

The adoption of these systems grew rapidly due to several factors:

1. Convenience: Users could avoid long queues at box offices and make
bookings from the comfort of their homes or on the go.
2. Accessibility: Online platforms allowed for 24/7 access, enabling users
to check movie schedules and book tickets at any time.
3. Information Availability: These systems provided comprehensive
information about movies, including trailers, reviews, ratings, and
sometimes even seat previews.
4. Secure Transactions: Online payment gateways ensured secure
transactions, increasing trust among users to make online purchases.

Over time, advancements in technology, the rise of smartphones,

integration of secure payment gateways, and improvements in user
interfaces further enhanced the online movie booking experience.
Today, online movie booking systems have become an integral part of
the entertainment industry, catering to the preferences and convenience
of moviegoers worldwide.
 1.2 OBJECTIVES

Cinema-going is one of the most popular out-of-home cultural activities,

affectinga serious of social, economic and cultural phenomena in
modern societies.

adding interactivity to the user interface.
2. Frameworks/Libraries:
• React.js, Angular, Vue.js: Popular front-end frameworks for building dynamic and
responsive user interfaces.
• Bootstrap, Material-UI: CSS frameworks for responsive design and pre-built UI
components.
JSP, HTML, CSS, JAVA SCRIPTS are utilized to implement the frontend.
Java Server Page (JSP) Different pages in the applications are designed using jsp. A java
sever page component is a type of java servlet that is designed to fulfill the role of a user
interface for a java web application. Web development write JSPs as text files
that combine HTML or XHTML code, XML elements, and embedded JSP actions
and commands. Using JSP, one can collect input from users through web page.
 HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) HTML is a syntax used to format a text
document on the web.CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) CSS is a style sheet language used
for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language.
Java Script JS is a dynamic computer programming language. It is most commonly used
as part of web browsers, whose implementations allow client-side scripts to interact
with the user, control the browser, Communicate asynchronously, and alter the document
content that is displayed.
