Regarding this as a translation for English #10290251 : it's also possible but a bit less literal:

«¿Por qué no están aquí?» «No lo sé. Vamos a ver una película pero va a empezar dentro de un momento. » (It's going to start in a short while)

The most literal option to the original would be:

«¿Por qué no están aquí?» «No lo sé. Vamos a ver una película pero empieza muy pronto.»

But it sounds quite general, not as if the film is about to start. It sounds as if the film is set to start at a time I consider to be early.
