Theater Vote & Rent

Rent a theater with friends or matched strangers. Anonymous vote on movie/show; app matches groups so enough people want the same title.

Overview

Rent a movie theater with friends or matched strangers. Users anonymously vote on what to watch; the app tallies votes and forms groups when enough people want the same title. Once critical mass is reached, the group reserves the theater slot.

The Opportunity

Movie theaters have underutilized screens. People want to watch shows or movies with others but coordination is hard. Anonymous voting + matching removes the "what should we watch?" deadlock and fills seats.

Approach

Auth + profiles (genres, location) + listings (screenings) + anonymous voting + matching (same title → same group) + bookings. First slice: vote + tally; then add group formation and theater reservation.
