    Went Friday afternoon and checked in for some shitty movie that was available. Sent them the picture then traded it in for spider verse.

    Has anyone tried using the app today? Nothing is loading for me at any theater. Usually I can sign out and back in a couple times until it works, but not today.

    MoviePass has been spamming me like crazy the past 2 days. They've sent over 10 emails trying to get me to sign back up.

    I still use it because I signed up for the yearly subscription. Anybody know how to find out when a yearly subscription resets? I'm going to cancel, but I can't remember the date I started.

    When I go there it says monthly and the charge is for $0.00. I'm pretty sure it has said that every month though. The billing date is always listed as the 4th of each month. Does your subscription start when you order the card or when you receive it and activate it?

    I don't know then. Everything I have says annually on it.

    Actually, it has 2018 on it, so now I don't know.

    Does anyone have Sinemia or the AMC version of one of these things? I'm going to cancel Moviepass soon and was wondering what the best other options are.

    I love AMC A-List personally

    3 movies a week is perfect for me, plus you can see all the IMAX and Dolby movies you want. Plus repeats.

    I’ve seen 9 movies already since I signed up for it this month.

    Plus you can reserve tickets way ahead of time on their app.

    If you have an AMC near you that you can tolerate then its a great deal

    Alamo Drafthouse is coming out with a $20 month unlimited plan by EOY so that may be the ticket (no pun intended). With how pricey movie tickets are (even matinee), then two movies a month pays for it.

    "So what’s different about this plan that won’t cause MoviePass to lose a fuck ton of cash all over again? The details remain vague for now, but apparently there will be no limit on how many 2D movies you can see. When it comes to what movies will be available, that’s, uh, where things could piss people off again. According to Business Insider, the new unlimited plan could place restrictions on subscribers’ title choices, “based on their location, day of movie, time of movie, title, and the individual user’s historical usage.” Same shit, different plan..."

    I went to Drafthouse about 55~60 times in a 12 month period when I had moviepass, up from about 25 visits from the previous 12 months w/o MP but moved out of Alamos core market (Austin) and into an area without one at the same time as the MP service was getting gutted

    That was about six months ago. Alamos own sub plan is coming and so is a a brand new location (built from ground up, not a takeover or redo) in my backyard.

    Looks like meats back on the menu boys.

    Hear me out: Movie Pass imploded when more people signed up and went to the movies than they anticipated. They were spending more money than they were taking in, simple as that.

    Now that 90% of their user base has cancelled their subscriptions (I pulled that percentage out of thin air but whatever, it's a lot), Movie Pass can probably afford to operate they way they did before they became the it-thing for a few months.

    Yeah it's great for me now that I live a mile from an AMC Theater. For years the closest was a Cinemark and I had MoviePass back when it was $40 a month. I still got my money's worth too

    North Richland Hills (19 mins from me in central FW).

    Randomly, I went to a screening at Denton, and got talking to my waiter. Turns out he is part of the roaming launch team - going from market to market to train new staff and get it off the ground. He shared a couple cool things that I've already forgotten, but confirmed that the plan is to eventually enter central FW; a strategy similar to how they did Dallas.

    Just saw this reply to an Alamo fb post:

    “We just cancelled our beta test season pass in Raleigh. You can’t order tix more than 7 days in advance. Most of the movies we watch there are special features which sell out as soon as they are announced. We won’t risk missing them!”

    Oh yeah, you live in Heights too (or nearby) - that one’s basically up in Keller/Colleyville, so I’ll probably get the AMC pass since I can be to either the one downtown or in Clearfork in under 10 minutes.
