We want to see Frozen 2 as a first choice but it all depends on showtimes.

That would be too late for the kids.

Is there another movie you would like me to check?
user
Jumanji: The Next Level is another one the kids want to see. Maybe I should try a little later? Can you also check if there are any showtimes around 5PM for that movie?
