History

Moviefone was created by Russ Leatherman and Rob Gukeisen, after they grew tired of getting busy signals when they called movie theaters for showtimes. Simultaneously, Andrew Jarecki and Adam Slutsky were working on an identical business in New York. Leatherman and Gukeisen had experience in the entertainment industry, while Jarecki and Slutsky had experience in marketing and financial backing. After an article appeared in the Hollywood Reporter in May of 1989, the four learned of one another, joined together and thus Moviefone, Inc was born. Moviefone originally launched in New York and Los Angeles, it has since expanded nationwide.
