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

[KageDaBeast]

@old soul I'd ordered mines at the end of August, and it finally came in about 2-3 weeks ago

When I first heard the price drop I couldn't fathom how they would make money. Literally one movie a month would be more than $9.95. last movie I went to was $13.00.I'm assuming most people can find at least one movie to see per month.

I read an article discussing their strategy and apparently theaters barely make shyt off the ticket price itself since they gotta rent the flicks themselves, have the reels shipped over (or rent the digital master version which is sent via internet to the theater), pay high rent prices, pay workers etc... They make something like 80% of their revenue off of the concession stand. So their main objective is to get as many people through the door as possible because more people = more chance of people buying food/snacks. I think movie pass is supposed to pay the theater the full price of the ticket but I'm guessing it's subsidized somehow

This isn't ran by theaters. It's a separate company from them with no partnership rates. They pay the rack rate for your ticket.

I ordered one for me and my wife and they got here in one week. I was shocked because I saw how long everybody else said it was taking. Have had it for a week now and still haven’t gone to see anything.

This is the best purchase I've made all year. Every time I slide that card and get my AMC rewards at the kiosk I feel like I'm getting away with the deal of the year

i understand that, i'm fairly sure the tickets will be subsidized for them though. the theaters signed on because it would get a lot more people through the doors, and moviepass took the chance assuming a good % of the people who buy it won't make use of it or forget about it. that's the only way i can see this realistically being possible. the CEO who made the price drop decision is very highly respected and not a dummy by any stretch

It doesn't mean this. No blackout dates on moviepass.

but you need to get a card for it to work, right? Or can you just use the app?

You need the card.

Everyone telling me to sneak in snacks... I BEEN doing that shyt since I was a kid with my mom. But as an adult now, I wanna splurge on a popcorn every now and then. I love theatre popcorn. I just wish it wasn't like $10 for a fukking bag. We still sneaking in food though.

Hell theaters should have been thought of this

Or have days where it's free cause they will make up the difference with concession sells
