About

Know a bad seat before you pay for it

A seat map shows where a seat is, not what you see from it. 3D Seat View reads the layout already on the page and builds the hall around it, with a score, the distance to the screen, the viewing angle and the neck tilt for every seat. Front rows, far corners and seats behind a tall crowd show up at once.

FAQ

Good to know

Which seats are best in a movie theatre?

Usually centre seats about two thirds of the way back. The score shows it for the exact hall you are booking, and "Find the best seat" picks the best free ones.

How accurate are the distances?

They are estimates. Booking sites do not publish hall measurements, so the hall is built from the seat map and typical multiplex dimensions. You can adjust seat width, row spacing and screen distance if you know the hall.

Does it book or pay for anything?

No. It only selects seats on the page, and only when you press "Find the best seat". You finish the booking yourself.

Which sites and devices are supported?

Movie seat-layout pages on BookMyShow and District, in Chrome on a desktop or laptop. Phones are not supported yet, but a mobile version is coming: join the waitlist.

How do I install it today?

Until the Chrome Web Store listing is live, download the ZIP and load it in Chrome yourself. The install guide walks through it in six short steps.

What data does it collect?

The extension collects none. This website uses basic visitor analytics. Details in the privacy policy.
