Never more than two per month until my wife and child went out of town last week. Then I went to four in the same week. Maybe the sudden increase in use got me flagged?
At least 5 a month and usually around 7-8. We live three minutes from the theatre so it’s our go to thing to do in the evening if we have nothing going on during the week.
Updated my app and now I can’t sign in. My wife updated hers and half the movies on the list including avengers say she has already seen it and can’t see it again
Well I'm almost at break even. I'll use is for infinity war again and still have to see blockers. If it makes it through deadpool two I'll have my money out of it.
If they are going to start taking away all the things that made MoviePass great and make it more of a pain in the ass then they won’t have to worry about losing money because people will stop using it and they’ll have to shut down.
Okay, on the app it shows I’ve already seen black Panther and has all the showings grayed out. Then again, I’ve already seen RPO with MP and doesn’t show in history. This is some bullshit.
I'll just check in to a different movie of I want to see infinity was multiple times. I will be curious to see what happens with everyone on a monthly plan. Are they going to 4/month immediately?
Mine was all screwed up like that last night too after I updated. Showed that i couldn’t see a bunch of movies because I had already seen them though I haven’t. Opened it up today and it had fixed itself
Yeah, I got like 8 push notifications in an hour from the app that it needed to be updated to be used.
Anyone had trouble post-update about the GPS/app connection not finding the theater even when you're literally AT the theater? Keep getting the not within 100 yards message standing right in front of the kiosk. I had to pay for my movie ticket with my own money. Like a savage.

It just dawned on me, how could MoviePass change to 4 movies a month for the people who purchased the annual MoviePass with the understanding that it would be a standard movie per calendar day? From a slightly legal perspective (haven't read any of the terms and conditions and don't plan to), the consideration was a movie per calendar day for my $90 (or whatever it was at the time). How would they be allowed to unilaterally remove a large chunk of their consideration without refunding me a chunk of my money? /randompostlunchlullthoughts
Once again I'm fine with these changes - and if helps weed out the people who were abusing the system and makes it last longer for me then cool. I'm sure eventually they'll do something that'll run me off but until then I'll happily see each movie one time. The 4 per month may eventually be the issue that runs me off, but I'll worry about that when I get there, I'm averaging 3 a month or so right now, wouldn't have been an issue yet. We'll see.
well obviously this gets a lot more complicated with reserved seating but if you are picking a movie that is first come first serve, you are going to be fine. Yeah, it would be a dick move to grab a seat in a sold out showing, but it's extremely unlikely you would get caught.
Yes, if you bought in before the change you're still good, just can't see movies twice and have to do the stub thing. Apparently after the 2nd time you see one with out the stub they can cancel the subscription and you cant sign back up. They fucked me over, I saw Avengers on Friday, and updated the app later in the day and it wanted the stub, so I'm already in the hole. Wouldn't be surprised if they kept making it more of a pain to continue using the service. They've already got peoples info to sell, so every subscription they lose/cancel they stop losing money on that person, which was always the issue with the business model.
Went to the movies Saturday night to see A Quiet Place, and it’s didn’t ask me nor my wife for our ticket stubs. I bought into the program in February. Maybe it just hasn’t updated for us, or maybe for our region.
The stubs picture thing is a test roll out. Nothing is set in stone yet but they're testing it. Afaik, the 4 movies a month is for new subscribers and they haven't forced current subscribers into that. Hope that helps
Is it difficult to take a clear picture of the stub for anyone else? I take as clear a picture as I can and its hardly legible.
Haven't had to do the stub thing yet. We are all spoiled by how ridiculous the deal has been if we are complaining about 4 movies a month for 10 bucks. One ticket costs more than that.
Think it was the CEO that came out and said it was planned and just a marketing ploy. Didn't want people to ignore the iHeartRadio promo.
Yeah just logged in to try seeing Infinity War again and was met with greyed out times. Is the move to just pay money, or we buying tickets for other things if we don’t have to submit receipts?
They shouldn’t even think about this. It goes against their business model. They care about protecting the viewer data (seeing movies multiple times is a waste and gives them zero new data). The CEO keeps saying the long term strategy is the grow to a size where they can negotiate bulk ticket prices by threatening to remove certain theaters. By cancelling subscribers it puts their end goal further away. If they remove abusers it saves them more money than the subscriber is worth in the short term which I why I see it happening.
Honestly I think the repeat viewings is for IW release I saw they had roughly 1 million redemptions for Black Panther alone
I meant the blanket policy in general. Once they saw what happened with BP they put it into motion for all movies in the entire service
Clearly (until you have to start showing the stub) check in for a different movie and but a ticket to iw
I went Monday for IW on MP and went tuesday since Alamo does that $5 tickets all day deal i’m happy to pay $5 to see that again
They negate the buy ticket to another movie tactic (although not always as I saw ready player one (in 3d) having purchased a ticket to black panther(2d) although that took some advance planning), but not the check in to "I am pretty" but purchase a ticket to "infinity war"
Yeah Obviously once everyone is required to take a picture, your SOL for the most part. We're talking about before that becomes the norm
Just earn rewards for free tickets. Saw Tully last night, was good. I hope I did my stub thing correctly.
Anybody else having the app ask you to take a picture of your ticket stub when you open it even though you've already done so? I've submitted the stub picture several times and it keeps asking for it. It won't let me get past the picture part.
Saw Isle of Dogs and thought it was pretty good. The first act was a bit slow and doing foreign language dialogue without subtitles is peak pretentious Wes Anderson but second and third acts were very good.
