It's super odd this is a new thing to the US - UGC in the UK (which has eventually become Cineworld) was already offering an unlimited monthly pass in the late 90's
It's still offered, and at £17.99 (and a 20% discount on food) it's a good price if you watch more than 2 movies a month.
- casefields 7y agoIn the last 2 years there hasn't been a single discussion of MoviePass without someone like you confused and detailing how the UK has had it for years. We get it. We really do.
- philjohn 7y agoSorry! First time I'd seen someone make the point, it also made me wonder why moviepass was even a thing as I assumed movie chains in the US would do the same thing.
- OJFord 7y agoIs 'MoviePass' limited to one cinema chain? AFAIK Cineworld's unlimited pass is only good for films at its own cinemas?
- philjohn 7y agoThat's true, MoviePass was at any cinema AFAIK. It's somewhat of a moot point though, my nearest cinema is a Cineworld, and the next 2 closest are as well, I'd have to travel out of my way to go to an Odeon or Showcase.
- Mindwipe 7y agoYeah, I am puzzled that MoviePass supposedly proved this model, when US cinema chains often have ownership of international subsidiaries that were doing it before MoviePass was conceived.
