> Movie theater attendance has been dropping steadily. Theaters, especially today's multi-plexes, are vast wastelands of empty seats the majority of the time. There absolutely is a benefit to them selling more tickets at off-peak times, or to not-so-hot films, or just as an incentive to sell popcorn. Keep in mind all this extra volume would cost theaters ZERO in additional marketing expense.
But if theaters wanted to do that then they would lower prices themselves.
And for all we know, most people signing up for MoviePass were the same people who were still going to the movies anyways.
