Cinemark’s starting their own Moviepass service.

lol. Are Moviepass services the new streaming services where there's too many of them?

This only seems worth it if your free time is entirely limited to evenings. Not particularly valuable if you already aim for matinees or discount days.

I was thinking the same thing - I don't pay $9/ticket now when I reserve at my Cinemark b/c I do aim for Tuesdays, early shows, or Fandango discount codes...so it's too high for me to jump on it...

 

6 reservable tickets/month usable for families (not single person) for $30 (even if they expired) would probably get me...whether I did 3 date nights or split with kids...since I could make plans for that many...

Finally signed up for moviepass ahead of Star Wars

[Jonwo]

With Cineworld acquiring Regal, I imagine they'll be introducing their Unlimited membership which they have in the UK. Odeon which is owned by AMC has a similar scheme so I imagine AMC will adopt a similar scheme. I'm surprised it didn't happen in the US a lot sooner.

I do wonder how long this sale will take to go through though, even if it's announced tomorrow say, when do we see effects of it come through in sales strategy, films, marketing etc...?

 

(Ignoring the Marvel stuff for a moment, and also the obvious disadvantages like Disney being bigger dicks to theatres and their employees than they are now with Star Wars/Marvel)

 

All I remember of when they acquired Star Wars/Marvel was how the deal was made pretty quietly and it was somewhat of a surprise to me at least. I wonder how long it will take to clear courts etc...

That new iPad commercial where the young girl doesn't know what a computer is, were they going for Barb from Stranger Things look?

I should see The Shape of Water with the seniors who sat behind me at Lady Bird! (super light LB "spoilers")

 

Spoiler

They can say that Sally Hawkins got impregnated by the fishman immediately after having sex  

 

(I told them to stfu after that. I had enough of their bullshit, but of course they ignored me  )

My local multiplex is improbably getting Wonder Wheel on the 15th. It probably wouldn't do well at the local art house, but at the multiplex? EMPTY SEATS AHOY!
