La bola negraHow it works
From “what’s on?” to your seat, in three steps.
01
Search
By film, by cinema or by day, even with typos. And if you’re in a hurry, what starts in the next 2 hours near you.
02
Compare
Every showing at every cinema, with its version (original with Spanish subtitles, dubbed into Spanish or in Catalan), format and price: the box-office price or, if the cinema doesn’t publish it per showing, its official price list.
03
Buy
One click takes you to the exact showing on the cinema’s website. You pay there, at the cinema’s price, with no middleman.
Why Kovu
What we were looking for didn’t exist.
Going to the cinema meant opening five websites. Kovu puts them into one, so choosing a showing is as easy as choosing a film.
All of Barcelona, in one place.
The big chains and the neighbourhood cinemas, together. All 30 cinemas in and around Barcelona, without jumping from site to site.
The price, clearly.
The box-office price of each showing or the cinema’s official price list, and we always tell you which. Plus promotions like the Fiesta del Cine, kept up to date.
However you want to watch it.
In the original version, dubbed or in Catalan. In IMAX, 4DX or Dolby Atmos. Choose how, and Kovu tells you where and when.
Closest first.
Turn on your location to see the nearest cinemas, and what’s starting soon, first.
Free, no sign-up.
You choose on Kovu and buy on the cinema’s website, at the usual price.
Always up to date.
We check the listings twice a day. If a cinema changes a showing, so does Kovu.
The cinemas

Where the data comes from
Transparent, as it should be.
Everything you see on Kovu comes from an official source. And we tell you which.
Times and prices, from the source.
From each cinema’s official website, twice a day. If a cinema doesn’t publish the price of a showing, we show its official price list and say so.

FAQ
What people ask us most.
Does Kovu sell tickets?
No. We take you to the exact showing on the cinema’s website and you buy there, at the same price.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Kovu is free and you don’t need an account.
How often is it updated?
Twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon, with the listings each cinema publishes.
Why might a price change when I buy?
Next to each cinema you’ll see where its price comes from. “Box-office price” is what the cinema’s ticket system shows for that showing; “Cinema’s price list” is its official price for that day and format, and some screens or seats (3D, IMAX, VIP) cost extra. Either way, buying online may add a booking fee.
