This is an interesting concept but I have to wonder how this is going to affect movie goers long term who do not have a MoviePass or even those with a MP when it comes to new releases. If MP goers can attend once a day then does it not stand to reason that new releases will be harder to get into as this will increase the number of attendees. I know there are a bunch of teens and college students in our area who go to the movies infrequently because of the price but would gladly buy a MP. Stands to reason that new releases that sell out for days will take infrequent movie attendees even longer to get into or deal with even longer lines (wait times). This could back fire a bit by making infrequent movie attendees even more likely to pass altogether and wait for DVD releases, etc.
Just do not see how they can sustain a $10 a month price point long term. It will be interesting to see how this plays out over time.
- scaryclam 9y agoHere in the UK various cinema chains have unlimited subscriptions like that. It's a bit more expensive, but if you watch 3 movies a month you've recouped your costs of membership. I've never noticed a particular problem with number of attendees. I've only ever found 3 people who go to the movies often enough to bother with the subscription.
