    I hate studio movie grill, but it makes using movie pass way more enjoyable. Online ordering and all movies are available

    It’s eventually going to be a Disney account that includes streaming, theater releases and discounts on merchandise

    They will automatically withdraw from our bank accounts and we will say “thank you sir, may I have another”

    No movies showing at my theater, not even movies that have been out for weeks, and its 4 in the afternoon.

    That's the last straw.

    Finally cancelled for good and switched to A-List.

    Just saw bad time at the El Royale. It was just ok. Kind of weird.. like they combined a really good movie and a shitty movie.

    I love A-List

    3 movies a week is perfect, plus I can just buy the tickets online at anytime, and you can see any movie in any format multiple times.

    They did that to me last week so I drove to the other theater a few miles away, loaded the shitty bonus movie they had available to my card, and went back to the original theater and saw A Star Is Born.

    First Man was decent

    I could see the acting nominations and cinematography nomination

    but it was soooo slow and long I can definitely see the 60% RT audience score

    the movie was definitely not called Family Man

    I felt bad for his wife and sons. Seems like the only one he cared about died of cancer.

    I saw Venom yesterday. I needed that after A Star Born (which I loved, but can't watch too many of those without falling into a depression). It was fun to watch a superhero movie that was campy and didn't take itself too seriously.

    So in my area it’s pretty much theaters that have the MoviePass e-ticketing option you can watch whatever’s showing and the other ones where you check in I see nothing.

    That's been happening to me for the last week. I send a message to them on the app telling them nothing is showing up at any location, and then magically things start showing up a few minutes later.

    Finally canceled, the only movie available for the past week has been Indivisible. Got a year out of it, saw 30 something movies for my $85 or whatever it was. Good deal while it lasted.

    Ha. I did this yesterday after only having one showtime for one movie the past month -- woke up this morning with a full lineup. Will get my moneys worth before I decide to renew or not at the end of the month.

    It’s become such a joke that I went to see Bohemian Rhapsody today and it didnt even occur to me to look on MoviePass first. I did afterward just for funsies and guess what, there were no more screenings at that location

    For the last 2 months literally not a single showing at the 2 closest theaters even for a second. I canceled. I guess their plan to stay in biz is hope people forget to cancel?

    same. my annual plan was ending in december, so i canceled in november. kept looking to see if anything was available until my sub ran out, but nothing was.

    saw they just announced 3 new plans. i can't imagine anyone is going to sign up given what we've all been through over the last few months

    Yeah I canceled too. They literally don't provide anything so why would anyone be a member? Its confusing what they are doing.
    My parents switched to A-List but I don't have a close AMC. If Regal would do it that would be nice, the Regal here is $15 a ticket and super nice.

    we have an amc but it's a shitty theater in a shitty part of town. if i lived anywhere with a good amc close by, i woulda signed up for a-list so long ago. had a couple friends that signed up for Sinema or whatever it was called, but they hated it/it didn't work, so I'm skipping that for the time being. really wish cinemark had a better plan than they do - maybe moviepass will have so much success that it'll force cinemark's hand

    Regal still doesn't have anything? So stupid. It's like $12 a ticket where I am and it's just your standard theater with stadium seating. Shit is a ripoff, I never go. I've only been there 3 times in at least the last 3 years and all those were this past summer when I had Moviepass.

    I thought it was extremely cheesy and a real step back from the first one.

    Young Drago was fucking MASSIVE

    I had rather low to the point of zero expectations. The character stuff with Adonis, Bianca, etc. was pretty good but the Drago stuff was forced

    38 movies for $89 in 9 months. Last 3 months there were 0 screenings available. By far my highest return on any investment in 2018.

    Today’s update. Was able to reserve a screening of Creed during my commute to work. Then I got a notification that I must claim my ticket within 30 minutes. It’s 8:15 you fucking idiots.

    At this point their new business strategy is to find ways to steal money from people on their way to insolvency. I've never done such a hard turnaround on a company like I have this one. I defended MP for months during their chaos but man am I glad I dropped them for good.
