Fandango buys Rotten Tomatoes

The online ticket seller wants you 'to have a relationship with movies.'

A decade ago, Fandango was happy just selling movie tickets. 

Today, said Fandango President Paul Yanover, “the vision of the company is to provide people, soup to nuts, everything you want to have a relationship with movies.”

Last month, the company bought the video on demand site M-Go. This week, it bought up Flixster and the movie review site Rotten Tomatoes.
