iBest Movie App Hits the Italian Market

By Heather Timmerman mobile, movie app, Preview Networks PR and News, Products 1 Comment »

It’s all about apps these days and the iBest movie app is all about cinema.   The most popular movie magazine in Italy is now accessible anytime, anywhere, with their new iPhone app.

Best Movie, published by Editoriale Duesse, is the leading monthly movie magazine in Italy with an average certified distribution (circulation) of 160k copies per month. BestMovie.it is the online destination where movie goers can be constantly updated about the cinema world with news, trailers, and previews.

With the addition of the iPhone app to their portfolio, which allows even more insight into the latest movies and gossip, combined with fully loaded social interaction features, iBest is sure to beat download records in Italy.

The app has 5 multimedia sections including a Film & Trailer section which, in collaboration with Preview Networks (the European leader in the distribution of movie trailers on Internet, Mobile and Internet TV) offers movie trailers, synopsis and actor information.  The app also has geolocalisation and GPS capabilities which provides local showtimes wherever you are in Italy.

Editoriale Duesse is also the publisher of the official Box Office Magazine and Chart, and is a very well known and respected publisher in Italy both in the consumer and trade press.

When asked about the impact the new app will have on the Italian movie market, Carlo Maraz Galassi, Country Manager for Preview Networks Italy, had this to say: “The trend is moving to mobile.  Therefore, it just makes sense for movie goers in Italy to have a mobile movie option allowing them to be where the action is at all times.  Editoriale Duesse is proving once more their proficiency in understanding the movie market, both from a consumer and business point of view”.

In the past four months Preview Networks Filmtrailer App for the iPhone has been gathering reviews galore, rapidly rising to the top-ten list in the English (UK), German, Italian, and Spanish iTunes store. Moreover, Preview Networks now feeds 3 out of the top ten mobile applications that include filmtrailers, and are the only company that provides an automated service to distribute content to the rapidly growing mobile space.

Here and here you can click through to two recent reviews of our service. The first one, by Australia’s MacTalk site, and the second one from ShaswatPatel, a technology blogger who writes about the “Movie Finder” Application for Andoroid which is powered by our service.

Hot, new, fresh Bebo film trailer channel!

By Stine Bauer Dahlberg Preview Networks PR and News, Products 1 Comment »

Filmtrailer.com's Bebo Channel

Yes! It has happened! Filmtrailer.com got an all slick-looking, video-playing, fan-attracting Bebo film trailer channel!

Bebo is one of the biggest social networks in the world with over 80 million users, and we wanted to figure out a good way to get film trailers to them – the solutions was to be a part of Bebo’s Open Media platform. As it turns out Bebo is very video feed friendly, and unlike let’s say Facebook, it is not hard for a content provider like us to become a partner with Bebo and start attracting fans to our film trailer channel. We just uploaded an MRSS feed to them and voila it was up and running. Then we did some design changes to make it look as good as we could for the young and trend-conscious Bebo audience and we are now ready to become overwhelmed with Bebo love. We are actually the only channel dedicated to delivering film trailers to Bebo, and we have already had 1 luv, 35 fans and some comments about, of course, Twilight (it’s going to be a big big big teen film).

A big extra bonus is also of course that Bebo’s international strategy fits like a hand-in-glove with Play Networks’ as we can provide them local-language film trailers for the local-language Bebo sites in Italy, Germany, Holland, and soon Spain and France. Each country have its own filmtrailer.com Bebo channel and we expecting them to be really really popular in these countries as local-language trailers aren’t always easy to come by in such a good-looking package.

So now all you have to do is check us out at:

http://www.bebo.com/filmtrailer and give us some luv, become a fan, comment, or take a poll!
