If I had to guess absolutely never. Subscription model will expand considerably. Crazy people spend $50 to finance an iPhone XS, $25 for unlimited movies is so cheap in comparison.

TalismanRing Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 3 minutes ago, YLF said: WTF is a "teaser rate" lmaooooo It's to lure people into buying $120 pass for a year Quote MoviePass, which has experimented with a range of subscription schemes in recent months, is rolling out an “uncapped” movie-per-day plan that will be $9.95 for those who pay for 12 months in advance. Also the fine print... Quote While the press release announcing the new plan touts it as “uncapped,” there are some restrictions. Subscribers can see only 2D films within the MoviePass network, which spans about 30,000 U.S. screens, and the release noted that ticketing is “subject only to managing network demand and availability as detailed in the MoviePass terms of use.” It also described the available offerings as a “large selection of blockbusters and independent films,” which is more cautious language than the “see anything” stance of 2018. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upprdeck Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Dont know how they make money.. but its been rock solid for several months for me. 3 movies a month for $10 and then half price after that. there hasnt been a need to see more than 4-5 a month lately anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reports I've read say Sinemia has shut down "in the USA". I believe it is also operating in the UK and Canada, so maybe someone who subscribes in those countries (or others) can say if it is still operating there?

cdsacken Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 The dumpster fire product is still available in the UK. However unlimited plans for $20 US are available with food discount so its pretty useless here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 MoviePass has suspended its service. Temporarily, allegedly. Also: Quote MoviePass has been struggling for more than a year. The subscription went from having more than 3 million members to around 225,000 in April 2019, according to Variety, which was first to report the service had been suspended. It’s unclear if an app revamp can actually help the company stay afloat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnack Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Not sure if I agree with the premise that offering to pay hundreds of dollar of cinema ticket for $10 a month and nothing else was such a great idea that failed because of execution and/or customer service. Lot of people that knew or lived the terrible customer service experience stayed because of how good the offer was. A better executed with a better service that would have more delivered on is promise (and not mysteriously stop to work the weekend Avengers get in theater) would have probably run out of money and closed much sooner. Outside some sort of fraud/blackmail attempt that maybe did work, it was not a good idea. Edited July 6, 2019 by Barnack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upprdeck Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 If it ends its been a good run. the last few months it has worked really well. Have seen most anything i wanted and very few outages.. Seeing 2-3 movies a month it has been a great deal while it lasted.. It has been almost a yr since i had any issues using it for finding movies to watch.

Ryan Reynolds Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 seeing $60 worth of movies a month for $20 was a good deal, Mitch will right this ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) It's done. It's over. They are just saying they will come back so people don't freak out and do charge backs. They aren't coming back. In other news, Regal will likely roll out a subscription service by the end of this month. Edited July 6, 2019 by CloneWars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdsacken Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Regal? Hard to believe. They have been stringing people on for a year. Glad they are finally doing it. Cinemark needs to fix their awful one. Edited July 6, 2019 by cdsacken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Disney Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I am so glad I never joined movie pass. I am very happy being an AMC A-Lister. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMisfits Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 In fact, AMC Theater’s own subscription-based program, Stubs A-List, has more than 860,000 members as of the end of June, Cinemark’s Movie Club has more than 500,000 subscribers and Regal Cinemas is set to launch its own unlimited movie ticket subscription. This is great info all around...current subscription numbers as of July 1, and news that Regal is FINALLY becoming a player in the subscription business...

SteveJaros Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Moviepass's legacy will be the same as Napster's was in the music industry 20 years ago - the flawed idea that knocked the doors down and created a new delivery model for an industry. Subscriptions services are likely here to stay, and MP paved the way. On a personal level, I have been an AMC A-Lister for almost a year now, and am extremely happy with it.
