Now when you search for movies that are in theaters or coming soon, you'll see something new on top of the search results page. For example, searching for The Departed the Yahoo! Search Buzz Log favorite for Best Picture, gives you a new Yahoo! Shortcut:

These new movie shortcuts are designed to give users a more complete answer to their movie query - movie trailers, user and critic ratings, a brief summary, and movie showtimes - all in one place. Think another film is going to win Best Picture? Try these nominee searches: Babel, The Queen, Little Miss Sunshine, and Letters From Iwo Jima. We used Hollywood CA in honor of the Oscars in my query to get those showtimes, but you can enter your own city or just type the movie title itself.

This is just a first step for our movie shortcuts. We'll be adding more films, inline showtimes and more trailers to name a few. And look for some more new shortcuts in the future, all part of our mission to continually improve the search experience for our users.
