Design the booking core of a movie ticketing app like BookMyShow or Fandango. Cinemas have screens; shows play a movie on a screen at a time. A user picks seats, which are held for 10 minutes while they pay; the booking is confirmed on payment or the hold expires. Two users must never book the same seat.
