What 🎦 means

A movie camera inside a box, a sign for a cinema or a film screening. People send it about films, movie nights and trips to the theater.

It can mark a showtime, a film review or a trailer link, often next to 🍿 or 🎬. People also use it to label a film list or a plan for a movie night.

It started in early Japanese phone emoji as a sign for a movie theater. At small sizes the boxed camera is hard to make out, so the meaning is not always obvious.
