Answer 1

Try using this function in your model

public function unique_movie_id()
{

return $this->join('movies_cinemahall', 'movies_cinemahall.city_id','=','general_cities.id')->join('movies_showtime', 'movies_showtime.cinema_id','=','movies_cinemahall.cinema_id')->join('movies','movies.movie_id','=','movies_showtime.movie_id')->distinct('movies.movie_id')->select('movies.id')->get();

}
