Here the average is probably about $10. If you're not going after 5 on weekends, you can go for $5-8. Only AMC charges $15 or more and that's for recliner seating or IMAX. If a ticket cost that much, I would never go to the movies. Might as well buy the movie then
I have zero issue with the surge pricing thing. Mostly cause like...yeah...moviepass has to try and make money somehow hah
If the app had this rule in place from the beginning I feel like peopl would have less of an issue with it.
That's nonsense I dont believe that. $10 a month for unlimited movies, excluding new releases is a steal. You can see mi6 next week. I can see Jurassic park and purge and incredibles 2 this week
Yeah at $10 a month. With the surge pricing its significantly more and it loses its value. If surge pricing was only happening when a lot of people are at the theater, then its more understandable. But we're getting surge pricing and then there's nobody there. They've basically just raised their price and now people are weighing their options.
But surge pricing isn't happening just opening week. That's the problem. I'm still getting Surge Pricing for Ant Man and thats been out for a while. Its obvious that its a money grab because they're bleeding. Hell, today they had an outage because they literally ran out of money. MP is on its dying days, and I don't think surge pricing was the answer they needed
Surge pricing is happening for each and every movie all day Thursday-Monday though. That’s a tough sell without a bait and switch.
It depends on the type of movie goer you are for sure. If you're a blockbuster see asap person... which many people are... yeah it's annoying and maybe the service isn't worth it. A ticket is roughly $15 so for me it's a no brainer still.
Ah I see. That definitely makes it less of an inconvenience. If it were that way everywhere then it wouldn’t be too bad but from what I’ve seen it’s basically a movie theater coupon book if you’re in a large city.
Here's a reddit thread on everything that's happening r/MoviePassClub - [RECAP] MoviePass - The Last 24 Hours
Lol what is that moderator going to do with himself once Moviepass goes under? Dude spends all day every day in that sub...
I was pleasantly surprised I was able to use MoviePass tonight, I saw Blindspotting. I really thought it would never work again. My big issue is I feel misled by peak pricing. I believed it would be for extremely crowded movies. Maybe the first two or three weekends for big feature films and thats it. What I have experienced is that every single movie but one or two has peak pricing except on Mondays and Tuesdays.
the problem is the CEO was a pompous asshole who was like this business model which doesn't make any sense and by nature hemorrhages money will be fine, and still won't admit that there any flaws in the system if they had done some form of surge pricing or been like you can't see a blockbuster movie opening night or whatever from the get go people would be pissed but I think they might have understood
I agree. I see that they are not allowing users to see the new Mission Impossible movie at all. Blocking users from seeing blockbusters for a week or two is an option I could live with.
