Yes, but the availability is not set when you open the app, it isn't set until you check-in, which you can't do until you get to theatre.

If you live a 20-minute drive from the theatre... You open the app at home, see your movie listed, then drive there. It is quite possible that by the time you get there MP has decided you can't watch that movie anymore.

There's no way to work around this and it makes the service basically unusable.

this is why gps spoofing should come as a feature, to prevent apps from doing this sort of baiting of users.
