6:15 PM is surge pricing??? Come on!might drop movie pass in favor of AMC's A list. yeah it's 20 instead of 10 but since the new "PEAK" pricing comes into play for new movies that 10 adds up quick
Got a tip for us?

as said it looks like opening week is surge pricing, sucks you can only see the listings for the day and not the whole weekend. of course nothing stops you from buying something that is not surging and then changing the ticket for the one you want to see...........
Unless they check stubs on the way into the actual specific screen.as said it looks like opening week is surge pricing, sucks you can only see the listings for the day and not the whole weekend. of course nothing stops you from buying something that is not surging and then changing the ticket for the one you want to see...........
Yeah. I admit that MP is becoming a bit convoluted for my tastes. I am pretty sure they are designing a GPS enabled anal probe to make sure that you go watch what you’re supposed to watch.
that is why I said change the ticket, so buy for A, go in and then change to B because A was full/you changed your mind etc etc etc.....................
Assuming that can be done with this peak pricing thing and perhaps theaters being aware of the differences now. And also assuming that the showtime isn't sold out at that point, given that with peak pricing there's probably some indication of it being a somewhat more popular showtime.
1 can't confirm nor deny that it has already been done.
2 few theaters really sell out
3 you could exchange it for a later viewing
4 there is no marking on the stub that says "movie pass" so ...........
3 and 4 probably make it likely to succeed in a general sense. While 1 and 2 are more along the lines of something that can certainly be different for different people in different areas/theaters.
might switch to AMC's A list due to the new pricing but so far movie pass has paid for itself already
A news story says that MoviePass had to borrow money to keep up with ticket payments and some customers couldn't get tickets yesterday.
Cancelled movie pass today $8 peak times even for two week old movies. Signed up for AMCs A list. Fallout was not even an option on movie pass
Looks like MoviePass is virtually dead.
The past weekend every single movie had surge pricing, about $5.75 per ticket which basically makes MoviePass completely useless. I will give them another week, then I will cancel and probably go to AMC’s A-pass.

Yeah, it looks like they ran out of cash during the weekend so they couldn’t pay for the tickets.
read they have a few times already, HOW did they figure they would make money in the first place? tickets here are an easy $10 with $14 being the norm . those who would sign up would be avid movie goers , I watched 10 movies my first month , only cancelled because of their new peak time mess. now I am with AMC's A list. not sure how they figure they will make money either as I can easily catch 3 movies per week, even if they are crappy

Well, for AMC it would be just missed revenue. Technically AMC would not have to pay anyone, plus their (more expensive) service is within their closed system. Moviepass actually has to pay someone else full price...
Your phrasing is appropriate. I don't think they expected to make money in the first place, only later, when they could negotiate bulk ticket prices, sell advertising that they'd distribute to subscribers, perhaps sell customers' personal data like our movie-going habits, and charge for extra features like 3D. Perhaps they also expected many new subscribers to start by seeing a flurry of movies and then slow down their pace.
After today’s announcements by MP, I cancelled and joined A-List. Goodbye MP, I’ll miss ya!
As long as MoviePass manages to stay in business, it's still a better deal for me than AMC's competing plan, even after the 50% increase in the MoviePass price. AMC charges more for fewer movies at fewer theaters in my area. But it remains to be seen how often MoviePass restricts me from seeing recently released movies or charges me extra fees, which AMC presumably won't be doing.
I would love to join A-list, but there is only one AMC theater in town. With it being random which theater my friends go to, I can’t see paying $20 a month not to go to that theater every single time. Just doesn’t make sense.
