CELEBRATING THE ACTION-ADVENTURE CLASSIC ON ITS 30TH ANNIVERSARYCompiled by Michael Coate

How to get the best Google street view
One of the most exciting features of our new website is that we have integrated Google street views directly into our theater pages. So, for the first time, you can really see a movie theater in its real environment, even when we don’t have any photos.
Even better, we’ve added support for customizing and saving the position and orientation of the street view. So, if you come across a street view that isn’t looking directly at a theater, you can virtually move the camera to the correct location and save the view for other users.
The response so far has been amazing. In just two weeks, you guys have already customized over 5,000 street views. Wow!
Since there’s so much interest in this feature, we’ve put together a page with a few tips on how to get the best street view. Definitely worth a read if you’re using this feature.
