With the recent decision by the MoviePass team to cheapen the service down to about $8 a month, a lot of people have wondered how this impacts moviegoing and the box office. Today, Deadline published an article detailing the service's impact on the November box office, and there are some interesting findings. To paraphrase:
Within the list, what's interesting is that the limited releases, like Roman Israel and Three Billboards, have a bigger percentage of the OW pie than mainstream films like Justice League and Coco. Coco also had the lowest MP percentage, though that's probably because of famlies, who will likely have at most one or two people able to use the service.
At the very least, MoviePass seems like a blessing for limited films, as it allows people to see more movies and see films they likely would have waited to watch on Redbox or Netflix.
