Cortana also knows current showtimes in theaters. You can say, “What

movies are out right now?” or“What movies are opening this week?”
(Figure 5-7, left).

Result: A tidy table of movie theaters or movie showtimes. (Tap or click
one for details in your web browser.)

Note
You can ask all kinds of other movie questions—“Who was the star of Groundhog Day?” “Who
directed Chinatown?” “What is Waterworld rated?” “What movie won Best Picture in 1952?”—
but Cortana hands you off to a Bing search in your browser to see those answers.

Flights

Cortana is quite the aviation nerd. She knows the takeoff and landing times
of every flight today, which comes in incredibly handy—especially if
you’re supposed to meet somebody on that flight.

“What time does Delta Flight 300 take off?” “Flight status United 1411.”
“What’s the status of Southwest Airlines Flight 33?”

Result: A neat little graphic (Figure 5-7, right).
