Movie Ticket App 'Eigaland' Undergoes Major Renewal to Revolutionize Search and Purchase Experience

Eigaland Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo; CEO: Jason Wong) will implement a major renewal of its movie ticket booking information app, 'Eigaland,' on Tuesday, April 28, 2026.

This renewal significantly revamps the movie discovery and ticket purchasing experience. In addition to new features like 'Trailer Page' and 'Trend Page' for intuitive browsing, the update includes expanded theater information and AI-powered personalization.

The goal is to improve convenience for core users who frequently visit theaters while making cinema more accessible for casual viewers.

### Background of the Renewal
In recent years, it has been observed that insufficient delivery of information regarding release dates and screening theaters is one reason for the decline in cinema attendance. Eigaland aims to make the theater experience more comfortable and familiar by improving the environment and accuracy of how this information reaches users. As part of this initiative, this major update was carried out to enhance features that showcase the charm of films and theaters.

### Key Renewal Details

1. **New 'Trailer Page' and 'Trend Page'**
- **Trailer Page:** Displays trailers of popular films currently screening. Users can scroll smoothly between trailers and jump directly to movie detail pages.
- **Trend Page:** A new page listing still photos from movies. It allows users to intuitively grasp the appeal of a film beyond just posters. Tapping a photo leads to the details page.

2. **Major Upgrade to Ticket and Screening Search**
Added multiple filter search functions by area, screening date, time slot, and format (e.g., 4DX, IMAX). This significantly improves searchability, helping users find screenings that match their preferences smoothly.

3. **Expansion of Theater Pages**
Enhanced theater information with:
- Photo posting features to convey the theater's atmosphere.
- Announcements directly from theaters.
- User support comments and reviews.

4. **Implementation of AI Personalization**
- AI features have been integrated across various pages to personalize movie info based on user browsing history and interests.
- **AI Ticket Recording:** A new feature uses AI OCR to read online ticket screens or information, allowing users to organize and manage screening dates and film details within the app.
