Moviepass Update



 

I first heard about moviepass.com on another site. Looking into it and seeing they were having a ‘special’ of $89.95 a year letting me see a movie every day for free 365 days a year, I joined.

I received my movie pass on November 17 and the only negative I have seen using it is that I must take my cell phone with me to the theatre! They have started allowing e-tickets to be bought on the Internet but I don’t quite understand how that works with their cell phone and having to buy and use tickets within 30 minutes of start time but that won’t bother me because I don’t go the e-tickets route.

Since November 17, 2017, I have seen 38 movies and not paying a dime. Of that 38 I figure with the first 10 I got my $89.95 ‘back’. I normally see a movie every Friday which would account for 24 of the movies while occasionally going on a Tuesday which accounts for the additional 14 of which I may not have gone to see 6 or 7 of those if not for the moviepass so theatres and I have a good deal going.

I still haven’t figured how moviepass is going to make money on this-- though it seems they have lost $150 million so far--but since they also own Netflix I am sure they aren’t worried. I have heard something about their selling customer lists but they deny doing that.

 

All in all, I haven’t a complaint about moviepass and will be using it a lot and wondering how much it will cost for me to renew it in November 2018! I understand they now charge $9.95 a month and you can see a movie everyday.

Your moviegoing habits make this a really good buy. Do they automatically charge you at the end of the year?

No you pay upfront.

Sounds like a good deal for you. Maybe the theaters don't charge the same to the Movie Pass company as they charge for tickets - a way to get people into the theaters? So they get used to going out to movies?

The theatres are against it for whatever reason though I spoke to the guy who owns the 'little' movie house I go to a lot and he says it is working okay for him!
Moviepass insists that most people will buy more at the concession stand--I don't buy a thing--and that most people may see 1-3 movies a month--I see about 8-10--how many are like me is the question that they have to turn into profit.
