History

Comingsoon.it was founded in 1999 by Anicaflash, a company that since 1977 has produced and distributed cinema trailer segments for television.[1] Since then, the website has undergone several updates and improvements, the most significant being the major redesign of June 2019[2], which made it one of the most visited Italian websites dedicated to cinema.[3] [4] [5]. In 2008, it launched Coming Soon Cinema, a smartphone and tablet app available for iOS[6] and Android devices.[7]

The content is curated by an editorial team capable of covering the entire world of entertainment, cinema, TV movies, television, TV series, and streaming, organized into different sections.

It hosts one of the most extensive and comprehensive film databases on the web. Each film page includes a synopsis, cast, photos, videos, and user comments. The Trovacinema tool is one of the website’s most distinctive features, providing showtimes for all Italian cinemas, a system designed to ensure the fastest and most intuitive browsing experience possible.
