The source of fields in Django REST Framework can span relations, so you can get a property of a related object and use it for a field.

class MovieShowtimeSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    title = serializers.CharField(source='movie.title')   
    theaterid = serializers.CharField(source='theater_id')  

    class Meta:
        model = MovieShowtime
        fields = ('movieid', 'theaterid','time', )

You must use the dotted path as the source, so movie.title will get you the title of the related movie. You may be interested in more fields though, in which case you are probably better of just nesting another serializer, like you have already done for the show times.
