Moviegoer destination Fandango, Inc. has acquired Movies.com, a leading movie content site previously owned by the Walt Disney Internet Group, a unit of The Walt Disney Company.

Fandango.com has exclusive ticketing access to more than 15,000 movie screens across the country and its consumers enjoy great movie content, including exclusive movie trailers and videos, coming attractions, user ratings and reviews, and personalization features. Movies.com is a complementary site that provides a broad array of information to passionate movie lovers, including movie synopses, reviews, movie and celebrity news, DVD releases and a host of other features.

The synergy of the two companies will create new opportunities for exhibitors, studios, advertisers and other partners to reach the moviegoing audience, and will provide additional information and entertainment for moviegoers. Fandango’s advertising sales force will represent both sites with a wide variety of advertisers.

Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed.
