Get out the popcorn—going to the movies with friends could be getting a lot easier for young consumers.

Get out the popcorn—going to the movies with friends could be getting a lot easier for young consumers. New app Atom Tickets, backed by $50 million dollars from Fox, Disney and Lionsgate, allows users to pre-purchases tickets and snacks, sometimes at a discount for groups, with “no need to pull out your wallet or mess with cash.” Each person in the group pays individually on Atom, so dividing up the box-office tab is a non-issue. With more than four billion unsold seats in theaters yearly, and only 15% of movie tickets currently sold online, the time-saving app may have a chance to compete with Fandango. (MediaPost)
