Movie Theater Subscription Services • Page 55

I got the year subscription to Moviepass. There aren't AMCs where I usually go to hang out with friends.

 

I also signed up for the year subscription of MoviePass and already covered the cost of it with how many movies I've seen. Basically free movies for the remaining nine months of my subscription so I'll play it by ear next spring if I make a switch (or if MP is even still around at that point).

 

Also, used this to see Won't You Be My Neighbor? and Tag most recently. Enjoyed both, but for completely different reasons of course.

 

Regal is better than AMC anyway.

 

I'll stick with moviepass until it goes under. There's an AMC near me, but Cinemark is closer. Sadly, Cinemark's subscription plan is kind of crappy.

 

No AMC’s near me, it’d be cool if Regal did a subscription though.

 

every AMC near me is a filthy unkept trash heap, nooooo thank you.

 

Yea I'll do amc when this fails... But 10 is still better than 20

 

ymmv, the Regal in Crossgates Mall (the "big mall") upstate has awful seats and screens, and one of those faux IMAXs that's like smaller than some other competitor's standard DLPs.

yet, if i go to Colonie to a much smaller mall, their Regal is like the height of luxury and up to date on all the tech and seating

it's fuckin weird

 

The nice thing about MP is that you can be on the other side of town (or even be on vacation in another state) and you can go to just about any theater you want without having to worry about finding a certain chain.

AMC's deal isn't bad, especially if MP didn't exist, but I'll stick with MP since it's half the price and I can go to the art house/indie theaters too.

 

Yeah if the future of this is each theater company providing their own subscription service, it's really gonna stink, because I love the freedom of being able to choose my theaters based on where i am and available showtimes.

I will see moviepass through to the very end.

 

I ordered my movie pass like last week or the weekend and they just sent me an email today saying I'll get it in two weeks. Did all yours take that long?

 

Yes, sometimes longer.

 

That's really gross and upsetting.

 

You're lucky. Some of us who ordered last fall when the price dropped had to wait up to 6 months.

 

...what...

That's fucking absurd. No wonder they're tanking.

 

I thought it also had your membership on your phone so you could scan that if need be.

 

I'm stoked about the AMC one the more I think about it. Beyond the extra features - the theater is closer to me, I'd get rewards which I don't at Alamo, and mine has a massive IMAX screen.

 

So I don't know how that works. I thought you could only use that if the theater accepted the app or something?

 

the closest amc theater is like 2 hours away from me so that's a no from me

 

I'd like to point out that AMC which stood for American Multi-Cinema is owned by a Chinese company. I find that amusing.

 

I got mine in eight days so I don't know. Hopefully it won't take too long. They seem to be running smoother now.

 

Mine took a week

 

I got mine in 9 days. My brothers took 2 months. I ordered mine significantly later than my brother did and had mine before he had his.

 

That sounds like something you'd get from an Etsy seller or a Kickstarter project. That shouldn't happen for a company of this size.
