MikeQ Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I would consider trying MoviePass if it came to Canada. The other options aren't convenient/easy enough (Sinemia) or don't exist here (AMC). 10 bucks for 3 movies a month is honestly perfect for me. I don't need any other perks or add-ons - I don't buy theatre food/drinks (too expensive). Peace, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 If anyone bought the annual pass through Costco, they'll give you a full refund if you cancel through them. Couldn't use it for BlacKkKlansman this afternoon and that was the last straw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Reynolds Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 if you go to theater during the day, buy 2 tickets, one for showtime you checked in for with your credit card, and another for the showtime you want to see with moviepass, take a picture and then get refund on your credit card. trickier at night time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If need be I'll notify Wells Fargo first thing in the morning to suspend any charges from them. I'm not gonna continue paying for this nonsense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Definitely don't feel guilty about getting my $95 back now. That is some shady shit, bordering on criminal. Evidently they put in a clause that immunized themselves from class action lawsuits back in January, but there's surely got to be a way to get them for this.

filmlover Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) I just opened up the app to see if I could see anything with MoviePass and the only movie available is Slender Man.

The theater has 27 screens, even accounting for a few movies being shown a few times that is crazy. I'll be curious to see what it looks like on the 15th when alleged changes go into affect making it more like it used to be with the 3 film/month rule. Edit: I just checked 4 other theater in my local area, it's MI:F or nothing!! Edited August 14, 2018 by Captain Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 If the shares were purchased under false pretenses, maybe. You could probably make a case just based on the flip-flopping in their recent press releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes misleading public announcement by a company management of a public company is probably even illegal under securities laws: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/17/240.10b-5 It shall be unlawful for any person, directly or indirectly, by the use of any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce, or of the mails or of any facility (a) To employ any device, scheme, or artifice to defraud, (b) To make any untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (c) To engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any person, Say when they said that selling metadata about moviegoers was making that pricepoint logical was false and misleading, it was illegal to do so. Must be hard to prove taht those statement were made by someone that had actual knowledge they were false and misleading too. A defense of the type, we thought we could disrupt enough to catch deals with studios and theater chain to get a cut on the revenues and even if we could not say so in public, investor knew that it was all about that should work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
