When I ask "when is the next movie showing?" In my head, I've always believed it to be a compound noun "movie showing". And I use "showing" as a noun referring to a movie. "The showings are listed on Fandango." etc. But I can't say that I've ever really replaced "movie" with "show" specifically.
Or extremely bad. "Yeah that was quite the show." (Extremely rare occasions I hardly hate any sort of film.)
Just kidding I don't really, but now that I know it is an illogical pet peeve for a lot of people, I shall now say. "LET'S GO TO THE SHOW!" when I say we are going to the movies.
