The Movie Booking Website is a full-stack web application developed using the MERN stack—MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js—with integrated role-based access for Admin, Theatre Owner, and User. This platform simplifies and digitizes the process of movie browsing, showtime management, and seat booking, offering a seamless experience to all stakeholders. The User module enables visitors to explore now-showing and upcoming movies, filter by city, language, or genre, view show timings, select seats, and book tickets. The Theatre Owner module allows owners to register, add or manage theatres, create screens, upload movie schedules, and manage bookings per show. The Admin module has control over approving theatre registrations, managing users, updating system-wide content, and viewing analytics or booking reports. The system ensures secure JWT-based authentication, optimized data handling through MongoDB, and dynamic frontend rendering using React. A key feature of the system is interactive seat selection, supporting real-time availability updates and a clean UI built using Tailwinds. This project addresses the practical needs of cinema digitization by offering a modern, scalable, and modular platform capable of extending into payment gateway integration, movie recommendations, and mobile app deployment in the future.
