Moviepass?

[spurraider21]

anyone here use this service? Seems too good to be true. Apparently you pay $10 per month (promotion now has it going for 7) and you can see 1 movie per day at just about any theater (no 3d/enhanced seats)

Experiences with their service?

[monosylab1k]

I almost signed up for it, but a big dealbreaker is you can’t order tickets online. You have to physically pay for a ticket at the box office with a debit card they mail you. Especially these days where most people order online and reserve seats well in advance, it just didn’t seem like I’d end up using moviepass enough, since I hate having to sit in a shitty part of the theater.

Buddy of mine just signed up. He said you order tickets through an app including seat selection. You just physically pick up your ticket (with reserved seat) at the box office last.

He just got his card and hasn't actually used it yet but that's what he's describing the process as

most theaters don't have reserved seats.

most theaters don't have reserved seats.

70-80% of theaters in DFW have reserved seating now.

[ColinB]

I use it. No issues.

None of the theaters in San Antonio allow you to buy tickets on the app. You do physically have to be at the theater as mono stated.

[Aztecfan03]

There are any 2 within 10 miles of me that do and 4or 5 that dont. And the 2 that do aren't inluded in the moviepass network.

Good for you. In a 25 mile radius of me, 20 theaters had it versus 7 that didn’t, before I got bored counting.

[SpursforSix]

Who gives a fuck. $10 and you can see all the movies you want. I don't care if I have to physically pick up the ticket. I've got to go to the theater to see the movie anyway. And I don't care much about the reserved seating. I don't mind waiting until the movie has been out a few weeks and there are plenty of good seats.

I hate going to the movie when it's crowded. I want open seats next to me, in front of me, and behind me. Buying a "nice expensive ticket" isn't going to get those things for me. Going a couple of weeks after the opening...that has a better shot at working. Shit, I'd pay double the ticket price if I was guaranteed those things.

And I don't care what fancy theater you go to, it's not going to keep someone behind you from waiting until the movie starts to fight with their bag of candy. Or someone deciding to walk down the row when the movie is going. Or some teen checking their phone messages every few seconds.

Just give me an 80% empty theater. I don't care if I had to wait a couple of weeks to see the movie.

Theaters make their money on concessions

[spurraider21]

The theater gets paid full price. Moviepass eats the cost. Their plan is to have people use it like gym passed. Pay for it but hardly use it. Also sell to people in poor areas where movies still cost less than 10.

Also potentially selling off analytics, linking to social media, etc.

On the other hand, when I'm watching a movie I prefer it to be as quiet as possible. That's why if I go to the theater (which I rarely do), I prefer it to be empty.

I haven't been to a traditional theater since they built the Studio Movie Grill here a few years ago. Comfy chairs and a table for each seat and the food is decent...though I don't really eat a meal there. I'll usually do a snack and a beer.

I love Movie Pass. Was an early adopter of this before they were bought/sold and have it again. I go to the movies at least once a week (I can walk to an Alamo Drafthouse) so it’s a no-brainer for me.

App works great and even though it has it’s flaws (can’t reserve seats online) it’s still a tremendous deal and I will ride the wave for as long as I can before prices are inevitably raised.

IMAX provides something most theatres don't. We are not talking about imax screens. But to humor you, you go somewhere other than a regular theatre to watch the really cool movies because those aren't much different than watching at home.

So i was able to get a deal through Coscto where I got the 7/mo package for a full year.

Card was shipped to me within about 10 days, so wait time was not that bad. It works like a charm, haven't had any issues yet. Got/activated my card on December 16. As of last night, have been to 4 movies using the card, which would have cost me north of $50 regularly.

Works at all my local theaters. Would recommend to anybody tbh.

As stated on pg 1, main restrictions are that it doesn't work for 3D/IMAX showings, and they don't do business with select luxury theaters, which isn't really a big thing in my area anyway. Only 1 theater near me I know of where it doesn't work, and that's an Arc-Light which hardly qualifies as luxury anymore. Overpriced tickets for no added value. ArcLight used to charge more because they were the first major chain that did reserved seating... but that's no longer a unique gimmick, so I don't understand what basis they have to continue overcharging. But that's another topic.

Only 1 theater near me I know of where it doesn't work, and that's an Arc-Light which hardly qualifies as luxury anymore. Overpriced tickets for no added value. ArcLight used to charge more because they were the first major chain that did reserved seating... but that's no longer a unique gimmick, so I don't understand what basis they have to continue overcharging. But that's another topic.

Nice. Did you have to physically go to Costco? Or was it online?

NM...I just found it online. Thanks for the mention.

It seems like it also includes a one year subscription to Fandor. Never really heard about it until today but looks allright.

[SpursforSix]

So i was able to get a deal through Coscto where I got the 7/mo package for a full year.

Card was shipped to me within about 10 days, so wait time was not that bad. It works like a charm, haven't had any issues yet. Got/activated my card on December 16. As of last night, have been to 4 movies using the card, which would have cost me north of $50 regularly.

Can anyone use the ticket? Meaning if I purchased the Movie Pass, is there anything that would prohibit my kid from using it as well?

well you have to "check in" to the theater through the app on your phone to authorize the purchase... tho i dont know that you can't have him login to your account on his phone. i haven't tried doing that.

it would definitely be a violation of their terms of service to share an account, tho honestly i have no clue how they'd track it (maybe its a red flag if 2 different devices have logged into the same account).

on an aside, moviepass claims that as of now, they're buying 1 out of every 35 movie tickets in the US due to growing user base. if they get that number higher, they'd be in a solid position to bargain with theaters for some kind of per-ticket commission

[spurraider21]

i think moviepass is right up there as the biggest "you cant afford not to buy it" product on the market.

also the robinhood trading app (which is free btw). commission-free stock trading

Ah...that makes sense about how they check. Was thinking that you could log in and print out your tickets. But it still sounds like you could screen shoot the scan bar and have someone else use it. Unless they check ids as well.

you have to buy your tickets on-site at the theater after checking in (there's a 30 minute window from when you check in to go buy the tix). you dont print it from home.

and there's no scan bar. once you check in, they authorize the purchase and you just go up to the box office (i always just use the automated kiosk) and purchase an adult ticket for that showing using the moviepass debit card

when you check in to a theater/showing, they get the information for how much 1 adult ticket for that showing would cost, and they wire exactly that amount to your moviepass card, which you use to make the purchase.

[DPG21920]

It’s awesome. One of my favorite things I buy. I go to the movies a ton and both the wife and I have one.

Did you buy them separately? At the Costco webpage, I can add them all to the same cart. But don't want them all tied to the same phone in case they go without me.
Or once you buy them, then you register them to whatever phone you want?

Exactly. Bought them separately since there is no “family pass” option. So when I get my card I downloaded the app and it registered that card to my profile through the app on my phone. Wife did the same thing.

i bought 2 at the same time from costco. they'll just send you 2 voucher codes so you can buy 2 separate accounts (took like 20-30 minutes for me iirc). there's no harm in placing both in your cart

you'd redeem them here, individually https://www.moviepass.com/coupons/redemption

and dont worry about the billing info, they wont actually bill you since you've already purchased a full year from costco. they just keep the information on hold for when your shit eventually expires

This way, I'll be able to increase the frequency of my movie reviews.

[spurraider21]

the main drawback with moviepass is that you'll probably have a tough time catching a very hyped/anticipated blockbuster on the opening friday/saturday. best way to try to get that done would be to go to the theater early morning and buy your ticket then. i bought my star wars tickets at like 12:30am on friday night/sat morning for a sat evening showing.

but yeah, when black panther comes out, i probably will just wait a week and catch it on the second weekend

but with the amount of money i'm saving, im willing to make all sorts of concessions tbh. we've seen a combined 7 movies in the last 35-40 days... which would cost something like $90 ordinarily... for a combined ~18 or so

Yeah...it's a heck of a deal. And I'm never worried about seeing them when they first open anyway. I hate the crowds. And I usually go during a weeknight.
I can see me catching a lot of the less publicized movies that I wouldn't normally see until they came out on DVD by which point...I usually forget that I wanted to see them.

a couple weeks ago my wife had some of her friends over to look at wedding photos... i decided to go catch Jumanji. i would never have thought to spend money at a theater on a thursday evening just to kill a couple hours, but having moviepass made it a viable option. turned out to like jumanji enough to recommend my wife go see it, and we went together last night and i saw it my second time.

[DPG21920]

What is great is that they used to have a rule that you could only see a movie once. So it was the one movie a day rule (no IMAX or 3D) and can’t see a movie more than once.

Now if you love Star Wars you can see it as many times as you want as long as it’s once a day.

I know they are working on a 3D/IMAX offering, so I would imagine that comes out at some point. I also know they are working on e-ticketing whic will be massive.

a) glad this doesn't affect me, i've never even been to the universal location

b) this is supposed to be some kind of power-play by moviepass, since AMC has repeatedly said they have zero intention to collaborate or share profits with MP. MP wants to stick it to AMC to show that they can hurt them by pulling them off their service

c) imo this was premature by moviepass. their subscriber count is still growing pretty rapidly, and they could have waited until they accounted for a more significant percentage of AMC's business before trying to pull a stunt like this. as of now, all they're doing is scaring off potential new subscribers who are reading this news and thinking "once i sign up for moviepass they're going to cut out my local theater"

Critics were WAY off on that one. A friend highly recommended it. Kids (and parents) loved it.

[spurraider21]

including tickets i already purchased for a showing of ant-man tonight, i've gotten 16 tickets since i activated my account about 6.5 months ago. i paid $90 for a full year during their promo period in december. average ticket prices here are about $13. so i've gotten ~$200-$210 worth of tickets on a $90 investment and still have another 5.5 months or so to go. i still think these guys are gonna go under but its been a worthwhile investment from the consumer end.

AMC has rolled out its own subscription service which looks good, too. but that one costs about 20/mo... and the closest AMC theater to me is about 9 miles away. not a crazy deterrent, but i live 2.2 and 3.5 miles from the 2 closest Pacific Theaters

[Chucho]

I just glanced past an article yesterday that they are running out of money and need to raise a billion dollars.


And I HATE AMC theatres. They're just the worst and if the specific theater wasnt built recently, they're generally filthy. AMC is the old dirty Chinese restaurant of movie theatres.

Yeah like i said, i think they eventually go belly up.

I dont mind amc at all. They’re just not the closest to me. But they typically have more auditoriums per theater than the other chains.

[spurraider21]

the AMC subscription is a lot more sound fiscally and imo more likely to succeed than moviepass, unfortunately

with moviepass, they lose money every single time a person goes to a movie, since they reimburse the theater with the full admission price.

AMC doesn't lose money per ticket since they were going to screen the shows anyway. they just lose a potential ticket sale (and that user is already spending $20 for the month), but they likely make up for it with concessions anyway

as a consumer though, spending $20/mo puts me in a spot where i feel like i NEED to see 2 movies per month otherwise im throwing away money. now, i've been on that pace with moviepass, but on my plan i feel like i got my moneys worth months ago so im not pressured to go see movies just for the sake of using my subscription. Now, if AMC offered a year-long bundle for a discount, like $200 for the year (rather than 240 for the 12 months) i'd be more open to that.

[Pavlov]

Just an aside, if you're an ATT wireless customer you can get two for one tickets on Tuesdays for pretty much any regular 2D movie. Comes in handy for Fathom Events which moviepass doesn't yet cover to my knowledge. Also works with existing discounts-- e.g., Tuesday Cinemark tickets end up being $3.50 each after all the fees. You also get credit for the full purchase price for rewards programs like the one Regal has.

[Trainwreck2100]

Moviepass ran out of money this weekend and had to get a loan to cover, shit's gonna die, so bail now.

[SpursforSix]

Not good when their press release starts to play the "but Netflix..." excuse.


As we continue to evolve the service, certain movies may not always be available in every theater on our platform. This is no different than other in-home streaming options that often don’t carry the latest shows or movies that may be available on other services. For example, you can’t ever find Game of Thrones on Netflix, nor is Season 4 of Schitt’s Creek available there yet. Here at MoviePass, we have strived to make every movie in theaters available to you as part of your subscription, and Peak Pricing has allowed – and will continue to allow – us to do so.

[spurraider21]

yeah... i'm pretty skeptical they'll be in business for the duration of my annual subscription (through mid-december). still, i've already gotten more than my money's worth, since i got the entire year for $90 (they had a $7/mo promo in december) and have already seen 17 movies (at average ticket price of, say, $13, that would have cost me over $200). even if they went under today i still come ahead pretty well.

apparently they blacked out Mission Impossible this weekend at all theaters except those with an e-ticket arrangement. closest one to me was about 15 miles away, so i just ended up doing that.

on a different note, their business model basically seemed to be

1. grow userbase
2. ????
3. profit

turns out step 2 is kinda important. still, i think they did their job in revolutionizing the industry. subscription plans are becoming more popular... AMC has their own version now. i think Sinemia may have been around before moviepass, but they really popularized it. i'll look into sinemia when my annual pass ends/when moviepass goes under

Isn't step 2 them selling your information?

[spurraider21]

you are grossly overestimating the value of "your information"

[spurraider21]

No they are grossly overestimating it. I think it's a stupid business idea.
they also wanted kickbacks from theaters

[Spurminator]

In theory step 2 is a combination of collecting and selling user data + proving the value of their app to affect box office returns. (Ex: Featuring a movie on the first page of the Moviepass app leads to X% increase in box office receipts). They could then capture studio ad dollars to feature certain movies on the app.

Given enough time I do think it could work, but they may have set their own countdown too aggressively with the low cost and lenient policies. They also never really built out the app as a destination for movie recommendations. Most people have already decided what movie they want to see when they open the app.

$14.95 now and looks like you have to wait 2 weeks to see the big tentpole movies if I am reading this right

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180731005582/en/

[spurraider21]

I’m locked into my annual subscription and usually don’t mind waiting for a week or two. As long as they stay afloat by December I’ll be satisfied

[DPG21920]

The changes were inevitable and if consumers act reasonably and logically (it might change the calculus for a small percentage of users which is understandable) this is not a bad deal at all even going to 14.95 with some limitations.

I’ve been on Moviepass since it first started, shut down, then came back in this current iteration. I’m still sticking with it and 14.95 is still break even on basically one movie a month. Even with the other limitations (have to wait 2 weeks for big movies) they are adding other features like being able to easily see the 3D films you want (for the normal upgrade to IMAX fee you pay at the theater) along with some other things like brining a friend.

As long as they get better at the peak pricing thing, I will be ok with it. I went to a showing 2 weeks ago, paid peak pricing and there were 3 people in the showing.

I wonder if the two week waiting period might also give MP the data to show that without MP subscriber access to new movies, box office results suffer. This could be used as leverage to offer studios the ability to offer new movies to MP subscribers in exchange for sponsorship fees or some kind of partial reimbursement to MP on tickets sold. But again, they might not be around long enough to see that happen.

Sinemia is still a good deal but no where near moviepass. It may end up being the best most sustainable deal over time, but I see at least 4 movies a month with moviepass and it’s cheaper than Sinemia (although that is still a good deal with the 3 movie option for $15 including IMAX, etc..).

[DPG21920]

Looks like I am finally out on Moviepass. Was incredible while it lasted. But they are moving (probably rightfully so) to a 3 movie a MONTH plan for the same price.

So no price increase to $15, it will stay at $10, but the drop to 3 movies a month means it’s no longer the best deal for someone like me that goes to at least 1 movie a week (most of the time it’s 2).

Besides the movie drop to 3, the fact they don’t have e-ticketing in their app for most theaters even though the theaters themselves have them and the fact there will still be delays in new releases means its no longer a great option for me.

It’s still a good value with the changes and I can see going back if everyone adjusts to that amount, but I’m moving to the AMC $20 package where I can see 3 movies a week, with all online reservations and including IMAX/3D as well.

Limits me to one theater but the AMC by me is really nice and close so it’s a good fit.

[Spurminator]

We paid for the whole year so we're still unlimited until we resubscribe next April. Who knows what everything will look like then.

Regal Cinema is finally doing their own membership at $18 per month: unlimited visits plus 10% off concessions. Not quite sure it's worth it yet...Would've worked better when I lived closer to them. That tiered availability is retarded but all the Austin theaters are in the first tier so nonissue.

i ditched moviepass about a year ago when they started limiting the pool of movies you could see, and since i bought it through coscto, they gave me a full refund even though i had about 8 months of clean service. so i basically got 8 months of free movies. then i used the refund money on sinemia which worked for about 6 months before going under. didnt get a refund there. but all in all got over a year worth of movies for my wife and i for about 180.
