Moviefone phone service is shutting down after 25 years but lives on as an app

If you call 777-FILM right now to try and order movie tickets, the greeting will be a warm bath of nostalgia for anyone who saw Titanic or Dumb and Dumber in theaters: “Hello, and welcome to Moviefone!” Hang up immediately. What comes next is a different, sadder voice, asking you to hang up the phone and download the Moviefone app instead. That’s because after 25 years, Moviefone is shutting down its phone lines in the next month.
