>Moviepass announces $10/month plan

Literally fuck AMC, then they wonder why they lost so much in Q2.

If they make it so that people cant use this at AMC the outrage is going to be monumental. Literally EVERYONE I KNOW is hyped for it

They are deff giving the demographic data (What general/ages see this movie when) to the company that bought stake

Which isn't really a big deal when you remember that your local grocery store with a club card is doing the same thing

I might give it a try. The place closest to me charges like $7 for a movie. I could probably find more than one movie I want to watch in a month.
>>
>>86424567
My local grocery club card, pharmacy points card, gas fill up card, etc are all under phone names. I have a fake Facebook set up with 150 real "friends" that serves as my buying profile and is not tied to me in any way.

Based AMC
I'd rather pay 12 dollars for 1 film comfortably than watch a movie grouped up with a bunch of loud niggers any day

I will be as well unless AMC jews us out of it (All my local theaters are AMC)

Yeah it sounds like a real bargain. Is the service live now? Where can I sign up?
>>
>>86424673
Honestly, I am not a rich man but this, couldn't 20 a month have been accepted either? At least take away the mentally ill homeless from seeing every movie I want too.
>>
>>86424894
I believe it's live now, but you have to wait 5-7 days before your card comes it.

I'd wait till morning and livechat with support to confirm it works in your area (Apparently it's 91% coverage but who knows)
>>
>>86424299
It's a good idea actually, AMC are just jews so they can't
>>
>>86425316
They claim it's "bad for the movie industry". They will probably make more money just because instead of someone coming once a month and spending $10 on food they might come 3 times and spend $14 over those 3 visits

It's like Redbox pushback except it's not even a direct competitior
>>
>>86424299
On Tuesdays, I pay $5.42 to see a movie at the AMC theater and there's about 2 movies I'm actually interested in seeing a year at this point.

Of course AMC will try to prevent this, tickets at their theaters are usually around $12-15.

Fuck AMC, you should be supporting the local theaters instead.

literally every AMC I've been to has had someone on the phone the entire fucking movie

I bought early tickets to The Force Awakens on opening day. some megalithic fatass who seemed to lack the ability to close his mouth was sitting next to me with his son and daughter.
He was wearing fucking full star wars stuff everywhere so I figured, well, maybe he'll shut up and just watch because he's excited for it.
Sits down right in front of the screen and takes out his phone immediately and goes on facebook. it's on fucking MAX brightness and he's right in front of the screen.
About an hour and a half into the movie, people are so annoyed that they went and seeked out the manager to have this guy kicked out. His son and daughter had to leave with him too
how fucking terrible would it be if that guy was your father, the guy who was supposed to teach you about life and guide you?
he literally couldn't get off facebook for five fucking minutes.
>>
>>86424491

It's a ploy to get you to the theater more often to buy concessions. Okay cool, you're save on ticket prices, but everything else won't change.

Still, for people who like going to the theater, imagine the savings. Like imagine what Brad Jones & co. get to save with passes like that. That's like 60-70 movies a year, or what would have been $500 just on tickets, for one person.

What's important is the details: are their blackout times (weekends, holidays)? Is it for 2D vanilla screenings only? Is it unlimited use?
>>
>>86427711
Apparently it's 2D movies only. It also seems like they're going to sell your data, or they have some kind of connection with an analytics company, it's unclear

Just see every movie, then the metrics are useless.

You have no idea how fucked up theaters are going to be with free passes.

Why? Just fucking leave and get a refund or get a ticket for another showing. Or tell the manager immediately so they get kicked out faster. There is no reason to wait 90 fucking minutes.
>>
>>86424629
>I could probably find more than one movie I want to watch in a month.

Can you though? Quite honestly you have to do better than 1 movie a month to break even and just look at the roster for this year.

Which movies this month would you actually have paid money to see? That has to be 2, or ideally 3 or 4 movies for this to be a good deal.
If you just say you'll go see bullshit because it's "free" you're not really saving money, you're just getting suckered out of your time to waste extra on shit you wouldn't have seen otherwise.
>>
>>86425450
>They claim it's "bad for the movie industry". They will probably make more money just because instead of someone coming once a month and spending $10 on food

This is why movie theatres want it, they make a pittance on movies themselves.

I'm pretty sure there's studio pressure against this though because THEY aren't winning on this deal.

>>86426807
>Of course AMC will try to prevent this, tickets at their theaters are usually around $12-15.

I guess this is why this chain among all others would object. Or maybe they have more corporate ties with movie makers? Let's find out.

Hrm. Not what I expected. It's the Chinks.

>>86429968

Fair enough. I can't find a single movie I'd pay for. Obviously YMMV, but they're making money somewhere otherwise they couldn't have sold this scheme.

It's the all you can eat problem.

Movie theaters make their money on the overpriced food, not ticket sales. (((Movie Studios))) on the other hand are absolutely SEETHING right now. Expect the Moviepass people to be called racist and anti-semitic by the main stream media.

it could work.

I booked a seat next to what ended up being a couple. They sat down for a few minutes and then got up and moved down a seat. I should have reported them to the proper authorities.

You sure about that? I can see the passes being denied over non pass customers. You'd probably have to wait three weeks or see the movie at 10am on a Wednesday.

Regal or I wait to pirate.

Nothing else. Regal has some bomb ass seating in this once place in Denver. No annoying fucks at all and the sound is top fucking tier.

If it's one thing that will never make me come back to a theatre is that your audio is dogshit. I want the audio cranked, understandable levels, and properly fucking channeled.
>>
The last movie I saw in theaters was Batman V Superman would it pay for me to get one of these?
>>
>>86436479
no
>>
>>86436479
Probably not
The entire value proposition is based around the idea that you would want to see more than one movie in a given month, if you only ever go out to see the biggest capeshit blockbuster ever 3 months then what would be the point
>>
>>86434193

This. For every $10 you spend on tickets, $9 of it goes back to the studios. That's why snacks are so goddamn expensive.
