Alas, 2021 is still marked by the pandemic, with the sole hope that it would vanish one day, in the meantime, between curfews and lockdowns, people are left wondering how to occupy their time. One new behavior has surged though: people are in fact spending more time with streamed video content. And the choices are massive nowadays that it has become quite an impossible mission to properly select what viewing to prioritize.
And here comes Cineklik, “the website that says it all”, as it is offering to work as an online movie guide for any and all online viewing channels in the Middle East.
Cineklik is a platform designed to work as the gate to all the shows with top picks and tips-- an informative guide made easy for users to browse through one’s favorite movies or TV shows to see if they are available on any VOD platform, on linear TV or even in the theatres.
Originally established in 2006, as the first Showtimes’ movies and theaters guide, Cineklik was revamped in 2020-2021 to cater to all cinema and VOD lovers. The transformation was based on the new trends in consumer behavior and the change of viewing habits due to the COVID-19, which led to rethink a totally new user experience.
Hence, the brand new Cineklik was built to provide a comprehensive guide pertaining to movies, Cinemas, Cable channels (i.e Showtimes), VOD platforms, and all the news that matter within that arena.
Consumers have never before had such a varied choice when it comes to how and where to watch video content, and the distinction between channels continues to blur. So Cineklik takes all the notes for the viewer and guide them through all the available offerings.
“Currently present in Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates, Cineklik will eventually cover all the GCC countries, to become the ultimate reference in the industry across the Middle-East,” says Alain Yazbeck, the CEO of Media Unit and Cineklik.
With the constant addition of different VOD platforms to the website, Cineklik is unique, being the only platform that has it all: Netflix, OSN, Disney+, HBO, Amazon prime video, Apple TV+.
Cineclik can be checked through the website or the app designed for Apple or Google Play
