She had a good time at the movies and at dinner. Good. Make sure that if you have a few more of these she continues to have a good time. The better time she is having with you the better your odds of continuing the progress. At some point though you might want to change the script a little and maybe be a little "busy" when it comes to her. I don't think it’s that time yet but I believe that time is coming for you.
