These and 92 other locations around the world are currently supported by Apple’s Flyover feature in Maps on iOS and Mac.
As mentioned, Apple’s Siri has also begun providing movie showtime listing information for new locations. When prompted, Siri now brings up screening times in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, and Spain, in addition to the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.
