About Lightbox: What to Watch
Stop scrolling. Start watching. Lightbox picks your next film or series in seconds, based on your taste and the streaming services you actually pay for. And when it is playing in the cinema, it tells you where and when. HOW IT WORKS Tell Lightbox how you watch in thirty seconds: your country, your streaming services and a handful of films you loved. The recommendations start from there and get sharper with every rating. DISCOVER • The top 10 of the day, films and series • What is worth your evening, picked for you • Upcoming releases people are already talking about TONIGHT IN THE CINEMA • Showtimes for every cinema in the Netherlands • Follow your favourite cinemas and see them on a map • Plan months ahead with the calendar, filter on original version, 3D or genre • Book straight from the showtime SCAN A POSTER See a poster on the street? Point your camera at it and Lightbox finds the film. EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERY TITLE • Scores, cast, crew and critic reviews • Where it is streaming in your country, right now • One tap opens the title straight in your streaming app YOUR LISTS AND WIDGETS Keep a watchlist for later and a diary of everything you have seen, rated out of ten. Put your watchlist, your ratings or tonight's tip on your home screen or lock screen, and tick titles off without opening the app. YOUR TASTE IN NUMBERS How strict are you compared to everyone else? Which decade do you watch most? Share your taste profile as a link. WATCH WITH FRIENDS Follow friends, share what you watched and see how much your taste overlaps before movie night. Lightbox speaks English and Dutch, follows your phone in light and dark mode, and is built around what is available in the Netherlands and Belgium. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
