It's like they're having a brainstorming session but instead of just throwing random ideas on the white board, they're announcing them to the public.

Has this been discussed?

Apparently MoviePass is limiting users to choosing between two films per day

---

I was wondering why suddenly I only had two options at large theaters. At least Mission Impossible is one now...

If this is how it's going to be going forward how the hell was this not disclosed in the apology email or the change of services email?

---

Oops, I spoke too soon. MI is no longer an option at any theater in the entire city/region of SF. Now I have to choose between The Meg and Slender Man (what the hell is that anyway?).

Guess Ill be "seeing" both of those movies and walking over to the movie I actually want to watch after buying the ticket...

slender man is a horror film based on an internet "meme" from 10-15 years ago.

Even at the 'dollar' theaters, it shows that the premium showings are not available. Except for 3D, there is nothing remotely premium at a dollar theater.

We are annual subscribers. I've seen almost twenty movies with it and probably can claim to have gotten my money's worth. But they have effectively terminated any useful benefit of their business to us consumers.

It was fun for a while. We'll miss not
having to budget for movies again.

Blackkklansman nowhere to be found.

Guess I'm watching The Meg.

"The plan will include many major studio first run movies, but there will be some exceptions"

The most important bullet in that announcement which basically says they'l. Do whatever they want when it comes to exclusions. In their mind, they've "announced" what you appear to be seeing today.

Exactly. Called it as soon a I saw that wording.

The Reddit forum is full of a bunch of people who are all terminating their accounts affected today.

I would too, but I have the year pass through costco for a bit longer. I'm just going to go to whatever movie I want even with getting one of the crap options given.

You could see a bunch of movies Monday thru Wednesday but today only two.

I've been using your method of just buying whatever and then exchanging the ticket.
(I thought it was you who suggested).

So far, never been an issue at the theatre near me.

Ironic thing is getting people to cancel their memberships will probably help them sustain the business longer. Heavy users of the service will likely be the first to go, and those are the biggest losers of the business. The people who don't really use the service likely won't notice the changes, and thus won't cancel for a while. Those are the kinds of customer they want.

If you go to the theaters to see mission impossible but can only see some indie film you have never heard of, you'll probably notice, even if you aren't a regular theater goer

Seems like only 1-2 movies will be enabled per day. (At least until the 8/15 update kicks in.)

Really hoping all this crap disappears after the update.

If by "crap" you mean MoviePass, you're probably right.

They're apparently taking drastic measures just to make it until then. But I don't really see how the new update will magically create a huge influx of cash that quickly.

All the "heavy" users will still be losing them money each month, just not as much.

I assume all the "average" users (ie. 1.5 movies per month) will continue to make them minimal money each month, best case scenario.

Basically it'll slow the bleeding, at best.

Not a single movie in our area is available even though at 9:00 all of them were. Only one that is "not supported" we have already seen. Can't even get a ticket for some random one to switch. I assume it will be this way until the 15th

That's what I'm seeing as well. Only luck we have is with Studio Movie Grill who works with MoviePass and you can do e-ticketing. Always able to get tickets there.

For example, Saturday morning at 8 - I check the app for a local Cinemark theater and all the movies are available with most of the showtimes throughout the day, including Mission Impossible. I check back at 10am - almost all movies are now gone and only a few showtimes of The Meg and Ant-Man & Wasp remain. It makes zero sense what they're doing there.


My wife and I have an annual pass that we bought in December. We did get an email clarifying that since we're annual, we can still see a movie a day, are not held to peak pricing (which is gone now anyways), and we may still have to take pictures of our tickets.

Only Slender Man is left for me. All were available this morning.

Robinhood delisting HMNY.

The end is near.

Never heard of Robin Hood but I was actually thinking of buying some shares this week since they're like under a nickel right now.

Guessing it would be throwing my money away, but at one point Sirius was this low too. And now they are at almost $7 a share.

Well, it just so happens that you're sub is only "mostly cancelled." There's a big difference between "mostly cancelled" and "all cancelled." Now, "mostly cancelled", he's slightly subscribed. Now, "all cancelled"... well, with "all cancelled", there's usually only one thing you can do.

This one will not recover. There is no way it will ever be profitable, and no one wants o throw good money after a bad idea.

I think you're probably right unfortunately

I am betting by this weekend.
This charging cancelled accounts will get them bulldozed by local state AGs. People in the MP reddit are livid that MP is charging them even though they cancelled.

Someone may end up doing time for this. Seems like some intentional fraud is going on. Drastically changing the terms on someone that paid for something else starts getting into a gray area, but if this billing in spite of cancellations is in any volume at all, it's no longer going to be considered gray. If I were an executive there, I'd be bailing and looking to cover my ass ASAP.

8:20 all movie starts available. Literally 8:21 drops to just MI Fallout at all BCS theaters

I guess raising the price by $5/mo and keeping the same open movie model was not an option discussed? Because apparently every option discussed was sent to me via email at one point or another, no matter how viable.

I would easily pay $20/mo for the unlimited/no restriction service.

At least finally today we can see MI Fallout instead of Slenderman or Meg...

Agreed. I would even pay $20 if they could make it like AMC's and give us 3 movies a week and allow e-ticketing at all chains and include 3D and IMAX.

Reddit/Twitter seem hopeful that after the 15th when the change takes place that more movies will start showing up but i'm not going to hold my breathe. Moviepass is definitely the Fyre Festival of 2018.

This better be the case. I asked this question in the help chat and was told movies would be enabled that day.

But again, as long as they're "supported showtimes".

I think they still lose money.

AMC will probably lose or break even on the tickets but make it back up with concessions. MP doesn't have that luxury.
