Cinema Website Project

This is a web application project that allows users to search for movies, choose seats in a cinema, purchase tickets online, and receive tickets via email with a QR code. Additionally, the system supports in-person ticket purchases, where cash payments can be recorded. The project utilizes the Stripe API for online payments, the IMDb API for movie details, and SQLite for database management. Flask is used as the web framework, and various Flask extensions such as Flask-Migrate, Flask-Bcrypt, Flask-Mail, and WTForms are integrated into the application. PDFKit is used for printing tickets.
