MoviePass: It's Back (Different tiers, use at any participating theaters)

[50CentStan]

Meh. I rather pay 5.50 day price for 1 movie watch 3. Then come back next month.

We got theaters with recliners and bistros....I know my family would be all over this

My wife always takes a large purse too

 

[Sunalmighty]

I'll stick to my 550 matinee films. If rather it that way anyways, avoid the crowds

 

[FUPA]

very few theaters in LA take this movie pass and now AMC is not taking it either. Easy pass.

 

[Atlrocafella]

i'm all in for this deal

i really don't have bad theater experiences anymore. then again i don't go at the time when the younger crowd is out.

This is key. I don't need to go to the movies on a Friday/Saturday night now. I go when I don't have to deal with the foolishness.

 

[feelosofer]

I can't see movie theaters biting on this unless it's B-movies.

 

[Kings County]

i only go to the movies once a month lol so people will buy this just for the allure and never use it
they'll make money like insurance people with people who never getting into accidents

I remember reading that most movie theaters make their money from popcorn and their other outrageous food prices and it can take almost a month or more before they start making money on movies they are showing.

Is this true or bs?

facts

Lower the concession prices, not the ticket prices

tbh tho, i havent been to the movies all summer, not because they are expensive

but because there literally is not a lot of shyt worth seeing

most movies are shyt, making it cheaper/more accessible doesnt change that i dont wanna waste time on shyt when i can just find a bootleg version of a movie i havent seen that is actually really good + eat my own less expensive food

netflix needs to acquire classic films

Exactly. The price is nice but nothing catches my eye

The Only Downside Is The Large Quantity Of Idiots, Kids And Teenagers That Will Be There Acting Like a$$holes

I Dunno Where Y'all Live But In NY You Gotta Choose Your Theather, Movie, Day And Time You Go Wisely lol

Gotta fukk Around And Leave Your Borough

The life lessons learned being a young nikka with a fresh pair of Uptowns and a Burberry polo taking a bad jawn to Jamaica Multiplex on a Friday night.

The ability to leave that theater with your pride/manhood intact without catching a case or leaving after a fight will make any NY breh able to handle any boardroom corporate negotiation in America.

shyt makes you a man.

Movie theaters are an outdated model, and to be honest there is no reason to be paying theaters 50% of the gross when you can market and distribute directly.

I don't know... they've been around a long time. And it's hard to beat that big screen experience, with surround sound etc... Plus it's just something to do to get out of house. Theaters aren't going anywhere

IMAX I think is the way, its an unreproduceable "experience".
That said all movies aren't good or prone to the experience, so I can see a time where you have IMAX exclusives at special locations for a week before switching to regular runs via streaming, but I just don't see a future for it.

Just like public swimming pools, that used to be a thing, but hey ability to build private pools ended them.

IMAX is def dope. And no every movie isn't good, most aren't. But that still doesn't stop people from wanting to get out the house, or go on a "date", drop the kids off while you run errands etc... I'm more so referring to the experience, the social/psychological aspect. I just don't think movie theaters are going anywhere, even as people find more and more ways to deliver content.

And it's still public pools around my way.
