Did you actually try your cinema prompt recently? I just asked my pixel phone "tell me showtimes for aquaman in Berlin" and it immediately opened an overview of cinemas with showtimes for the Aquaman movie today with options to buy the ticket.

Same for the weather prompt someone else posted above and contrary to their experience it showed me exactly what I expected.

I'm a bit confused if those examples are something that didn't work in the past or if it's something that somehow doesn't work properly in the US right now.

"Hey Google, give me showtimes for Aquaman" opens the assistant on my phone, and transcribes my request correctly.

There's a Nest mini (2nd gen) two meters away, but the device that answers is the Google Home 2016 in a different room.

First attempt: "Okay, ten minutes. And that's starting... Now."

Second attempt: "Sorry, I don't understand."

Third attempt: bingo.

Further trials seem to work, until they're interrupted by the 10 minute timer.

My partner comes downstairs to ask why I'm yelling STOP.

I remember my exact words when I bought this thing:

I have seen the future, and it sucks.
