MoviePass, are you interested

I found an interesting article about a new subscription service, called movie pass.

In short, its like netflix for movie theaters. For 50$ a month you can see any movie and every movie.

3d & Imax films will have an additional 3$ charge.

This sounds great to me. I miss most movies now (cost), but for 50$ a month I would be seeing everything.:D

Though, I have a feeling none of my local theaters would participate (knowing my luck :cry: )

"# Users are limited to seeing one movie per day. We understand this limitation, but it's a bummer for those of us who like to see multiple movies on a rainy Saturday.
# Users can only see a movie one time. If you want to re-watch Transformers 3 or another summer blockbuster, you'll need to pay for your ticket."

Those plus the fact that it doesn't help pay for the overpriced popcorn/pop that I always get makes me want to pass on this. Lots of times I go to matinees anyway which are only like $6 a ticket. $50 a month is too high but if they knocked $10 or $20 off that price I'd be really tempted.

Nah, usually there are only about 3 movies I want to see a month, and they usually never cost me over fifty bucks.

Way too much for the limitations imposed.

No thanks. I can wait till they are in the $1 Redbox.

That might be a good deal if I watched a lot of movies, but I don't.

And while $50 might be a good deal for what you're getting, it's still $50 a month. And if I realistically wouldn't expect to see more than about 4 or 5 movies a month anyway, then I'm better off just paying regular price.

So lets see, I have watched 22 films this year so far, at around an average price of 8 dollars (usually go to matinee's), spread out fairly equally over the past 6 months totaling about $176...now if I did this pass, it would have cost me $300 and I really would not have felt obligated to see anything else that had come out other than the 22 I have already seen. I do not see this working for anyone other than maybe film critics who do not go to screenings and see more than 7 films a month at theaters with high ticket prices.

My brother gets that deal over here for £15 a month without all the restrictions, but it's only with one chain of cinemas.

but it's only with one chain of cinemas.

I do agree, the pricing seems off for the current limitations(ones you noted), but I'm hoping like netflix that the service and price will quickly improve.

If my local theater actually got more movies I was interested in it would be worth it.

Shame it doesn't.

This sounds great! Me and my boyfriend could use this!1aday

I'm going to guess the pass is for one person only, so you'd be paying $100 a month.

I agree that there's definitely potential for this but unless they change the price and the restrictions there's no way it's gonna get anywhere.

In Australia, it'll be good deal since it cost around $20 for an adult ticket. And everything is expensive here anyway.
