When I type in "movies ashburton" Google displays listings for our town/region.
However the actual movies are largely correct, the times are wrong.
Is there any way to fix this? Or anyone I should contact?

Cheers

Google uses Cinema-Source for their show times. Your times might also listed incorrectly on Yahoo and MovieFone.

I email a comma separated text file to edm@cinema-source.com every week with my show times. I can't remember the last time one of the above mentioned sites had something listed wrong. I have found Cinema-Source to be very responsive to dealing with issues. I don't know if they can put you directly in touch with Google, but they should be able to resolve your issue.

You can also email a pdf of your show times, but it probably is not as reliable as a comma file.

For what it's worth, the other major listing service is NowShowing.com. They feed Fandango, IMDb, and others. I email a schedule to them at times@nowshowing.com.
