fyi, MoviePass.com "Any Movie Any Theater Any Day Only $9.95 per month"

https://www.moviepass.com/

I know nothing besides this OP. For more info, please read the website. Seems like a good deal to me ? Apparently AMC Theaters, per dead-tree Maximum PC November 2017 edition, is unhappy with it.

eta per the magazine:
MoviePass faces problems from within the industry, too, including a spat with AMC Theaters, the largest chain in the country, which is reportedly looking for a way to block MoviePass subscriptions. It claims the deal is 'shaky and unsustainable'


The other problems the magazine allude to are: crashed websites, delayed delivery of membership cards, smartphone usage problems, and "the app has also proved to be awkward, demanding, and unpopular"

You are charged immediately, card arrives in 2 months and you are charged the next time after you have used it a month.

90%+ of movie theatres take it, not 100%.

2D films only.

Not supposed to work with loyalty programs

Need to check in via smartphone while physically at theatre and buy ticket within 29 minutes.

Zero customer service.

About 20% of the people on the Internet hate it.

Because

For $10 they should give me...unlimited movie daily

For $10 they should give me...free popcorn and candy

For $10 they should give me...tickets for my kids

For $10 they should give me...the ability to buy tickets in advance

For $10 they should give me...the ability to see IMAX

For $10 they should give me...
