Q: Why are you shutting down the phone service?
A: Over the years, fewer and fewer people have been calling the phone service, while our mobile app and website audiences have been growing. We decided it was time to devote more resources to where the audience is and where it's going to be.
Q: What will the new Moviefone.com be like?
A: Like Hitchcock, we love a good mystery, so we're not going reveal too much about the new Moviefone.com experience. What we can say is that it's going to be bigger and better than ever. And we promise no "Sixth Sense"-like twists.
