Is MoviePass Killing or Saving Movies? CEO Mitch Lowe Answers

[@fandomentertainment]

Do you use MoviePass? Why or why not? Let us know in the comments below! Thanks for watching!

[@film4ever2k]

ScreenJunkies News Just started watching the video, hope you guys ask about the lack of customer service. Its embarrassing.

[@harrisonring5827]

I use it because I don't pay every signal time

[@af7132]

No cause it's not in Canada!

[@urileymart]

I love the program hate the customer service..

[@LGastel]

This is a brilliant interview, really interesting stuff. I live in Italy and would kill for a movie pass type subscription service honestly

[@sarahrisley7231]

This interview is so exciting! What an incredible guest. Really impressed with the line of questioning and fascinated by the economics. Now I have to buy a Movie Pass

[@coopercurry7536]

Roth is such a good interviewer

[@sarahrisley7231]

Laura P interesting take, any specific examples? I thought they did a great job of asking the main questions, how do you make money now and in the future, how do you justify asking for 20%, how will you profit from my data. Granted, they asked these politely, but they didn't shy away from getting answers.

[@theruined1038]

Agreed, they did challenge him to answer the tough questions, however the delivery was very cordial. He did answer and to his credit, he did a good job at demonstrating the fact that the MoviePass team is thinking about all of these things. It's important to understand they have to prove they can innovate quickly in order to not only stay ahead and on top - if more product in line with this business model pop up - but to differentiate themselves and really focus in on that element of freedom of choice he alluded to so many times.

[@ramish123]

Sarah Risley agreed

[@davidsmith343]

Sarah Risley He's actually telling a lot of lies and fudging a lot of numbers. He said that, "he just wants people to go to the movies", yet MoviePass wouldn't let people see Red Sparrow, because Deathwish paid MoviePass to do so.

[@shinkounova8485]

I know this guy is just here to promote his business but to be honest he's really good at it.

[@MrKvane77]

jose mendez very well spoken

[@thebigmick1977]

Most conmen are.

[@claystripe6514]

I know it probably won't do great for views, but I'm so glad you guys did this interview. You guys asked really solid questions, and I feel like I learned a ton.

[@mrs.y]

After watching t his interview, I'm seriously considering getting Moviepass. A lot of the questions I had were answered just by the conversation you had with Mr. Lowe. This was a great interview guys, I loved it

[@Cliff...]

Mary Yellott - I have movie pass, it's worth getting.

[@garretneal1875]

Dibils YS There has been some controversy that MoviePass screws over some of the theaters because of what it takes from ticket and food sales

[@thebigmick1977]

It tries to take from theaters. Some may be giving in, most will not. I don't like their tactics at all and I don't see them keeping this model going. By the end of the year, I bet MoviePass raises their subscription fees.

[@williestyle35]

+Garrett Neal , MoviePass does not force any theater or theater chain to participate with them. There is *no* taking by Movie Pass, any exhibitors can choose not to work with MoviePass, but can't stop Movie Pass from from buying tickets. It seems unfair in some ways, but that is the nature of business.

[@garretneal1875]

It is taking in the sense that certain theaters agreed to accept movie pass and then MoviePass came in later to ask for the ticket and concession money. AMC has the power to say no, but some independent theaters are stuck in a deal they didn't think they were getting. Most of them still are probably making more money than they otherwise would, but it was still dishonest on MoviePass's part and that is where the controversy comes in I think.

[@jdd0815]

Definitely feel like Dan should’ve been there since he’s been so big on MP. I’m a subscriber and I love it.

[@ImamSyafii-st4ps]

I think both Roth and Billy have covered all the question that Dan might have had. They did great job in this interview.

[@wrcarter4]

This dude knows how to advertise. Coming on YT to just talk about his product to the exact generation that has slowed the industry is smart.

[@HollyALau]

I totally only saw Annihilation in theaters due to movie pass. It was good but I wouldn’t have paid full price for it normally.

[@STASHdadtv]

Holly Lau truetuee

[@kladams707]

TrojanofNarnia I seriously don't understand the problem with the end of Annihilation. Unless it's an issue with thar whole sequence with Natalie Portman, which my only issue is that it was overplayed. But considering the revelations, the very end of the movie makes sense and is pretty unambiguous.

[@kladams707]

TrojanofNarnia All those questions are answered in the title of the movie. I would encourage you to look up the definition of the word and see which one(s) could be applied to the movie. The one regarding physics is particularly interesting. Might not seem relevant at first until we remember that physics applies to biology just as it applies to the rest of the universe.

[@kladams707]

TrojanofNarnia Cool And I hope I didn't sound too condescending. I was just trying to avoid spoilers 😅

[@catalandustin51]

great interview Roth and Billy. I hope movie pass starts to do online purchasing. I love my movie pass I've seen 31 movies since I join last September

[@agirlnamedbrett.]

i feel like Dan shoulda been here too. lol

[@LupeJustinian]

a girl named brett right?!

[@mineola_]

Totally.

[@paulpuzzoii4636]

agreed. Dan was very critical of the movie pass business model and feel it would have made for a more balanced interview. But then again Screen Junkies may not have been looking for that kind of piece and if he was there it would look like he did a 180 on his views. Or Movie Pass may have put a restriction on the interview that he not be one of the presenters. Any way around it I can see no downside for the consumer but still have issues with the Movie Pass business model. "You like all the extra revenue we bring to your theater? That's great now we want a piece of it or we'll no longer let our subscribers to use your theater."

[@ieatgremlins]

Paul Puzzo II Dan actually uses movie pass so, as much as he criticizes it, he benefits from it. I don't know if he would have had a different perspective.

[@laurelwelch6295]

On a recent episode Dan said that he was filming another show at the same time.

[@uniquox]

Loved this show. Great to hear things from the horse's mouth and good that you guys didnt sugarcoat much. I have moviepass and have seen 23 movies in 3 months. And its true; I saw 'LadyBird', "Call me by your name", "three billboards", "shape of water" etc because of Moviepass. Hope Moviepass adds a few bucks to the monthly charge and allow one or two imax or 3D movies.

[@rkas96]

I hope so too. Like 14.95 that includes 3d and imax, and maybe even 19.95 where you can book online from home.

[@benjaminjones9981]

HONESTY.... the *best* 'advertising' ever!! I'm sold. Going to sign up now... (and hopefully Google Maps can remind me how to get to the theater.)

[@seangalvin3196]

His comparison to the money they are spending - to essentially pay for their used content to the way NETFLIX spends it's money developing content was very clever.

[@melvinlinderoth7108]

sean galvin Well I don’t understand how that comparison makes any sense. Netflix pays to get more film in their library and then they earn money for each subscriber they have, the two costs are independent of each other. While it cost more each month for moviepass the more subscribers they get, the costs are dependent of each other that’s why it’s impossible to sub stain.

[@julianroth326]

Melvin, did you not watch the interview? They are trying to get discounts from theaters for selling more tickets, they are trying to make money from studios for advertising small movies to their customers - never underestimate the value of metadata - and not everyone who is subscribed to moviepass actually goes on to watch more than they pay for. People also subscribe for the convenience of going to see a movie whenever they want. Theaters aren't surviving on selling tickets anyways, when people are "saving" 10$ at the register, a lot of them are more likely to buy drinks and snacks. Moviepass automates a lot of communications and transactions between theaters, studios and audience and there's a good chance it turns out to be a win-win-win-win scenario.

[@melvinlinderoth7108]

Julian Röth Yea I know but that’s not my point they can’t substain themselves with just the money from subscriptions, my point was more about it not being like Netflix

[@melvinlinderoth7108]

But reading the original comment know I realized I might have misunderstood it

[@seangalvin3196]

Melvin Linderoth my statment was not that it was an accurate 1x1 comparison or even that it was correct. I said it was a clever way of explaining where their expenditure comes from.

[@AntsMovies]

This is GREAT please have him on again.

[@dylanrivera1573]

I really enjoyed this interview. I've been a Movie Pass subscriber since October and I'm a very big fan. However, I was always a bit skeptical on how they would sustain their business model.This interview really cleared things up and made me excited for future things to come from MP. Good stuff SJ.

[@LabradorIndependent]

Given what has changed with MoviePass in the last 5 months, are you still a supporting subscriber?

[@iPadAddictXXV]

I really thought I would hate this guy and his business, and while I don't agree with his concepts and ideas, he explained himself and the business model really well. Receptive and responsive but never defensive or accusatory. I wont get MoviePass but I can see this interview winning people over.

[@terrybradford3727]

That was an awesome interview. I was hoping you would of asked him what He thought of the the whole Annihilation thing.

[@MoK86]

what do you mean?

[@terrybradford3727]

One of Dan's Rants about the deal. The movie was made to be seen on the big screen. in less than a month, you will only get it streamed.

[@bahcue7381]

Terry Bradford the movie sucks

[@omarcorrea]

Wow this was an awesome interview. He really clearly explained the business side of MoviePass. I love my movie pass

[@DallasFlippin]

I know there's not a ton of views on this, but this was an excellent interview. Please keep interviewing people from around the movie industry. It's great content that sets you all apart.

[@bashful_michael]

This was such a great interview. Kudos to Roth and Billy for the questions they asked. I'm definitely more interested in MoviePass now and appreciate his honest answers.

[@MalikahJ]

Well... I'm sold.

[@nicholas201111]

Malikah J I just ordered it

[@LabradorIndependent]

Do you still have it?

[@ericmicke4130]

I just got my moviepass card a couple days ago. I intend to go to the theatre a ton more than I ever have before, and probably 90% of the time I buy an alcoholic drink for about $10-11, and having basically to pay nothing for the majority of movies I see will only increase my likelihood to buy more in concessions or whatever. But yes, I will use it, and alot and I think it's totally worth it.

[@HopefulMonster23]

This was a stellar interview. Talk about a win/win. You had me glued to your channel for an entire interview and Mr. Lowe managed to make me a subscriber to MP. Top notch.

[@joseloco]

This format was phenomenal! I don’t know if you all knew where this was going when you started, but it sure as heck didn’t go the way I thought it would. As I anticipated a scathing deep dive, this turned into a truly educational conversation.

[@ThomBartley]

Really interesting interview and I live in the UK where this isn't even a thing. Good work gang.

[@MrDanieldeakin]

There are cards like this in the UK from Cineworld and Odeon for around £18 a month, but you can see as many as you like, not just one a day.

[@ThomBartley]

Yeah, I know but what puts me off is 1) It's double the price. 2) It's Cineworld only and that's not my local cinema. 3) You have to sign up and pay for a year at a time. Thanks though.

[@MrDanieldeakin]

Well, I feel like I should be head of their marketing XD 1. You get 10% (25% after a year) off concessions and special offers as well as advanced screenings (At cineworld) also, you get 3D free after a year too. 2) Again, there is one for Odeon called Odeon Limitless and its the same concept. 3) You can pay monthly after the minimum contract period (12 months), thats if you ever want to leave XD I've been an Unlimited member for 2 years and I've see 220 films so I've got my moneys worth.

[@ThomBartley]

Nice man. Good it works for you. It doesn't really work for me because A) My local is a Showcase B) I go to the cinema with friends a lot and where we really go varies between Cineworld, Showcase, Odeon, Everyman etc. It's cool if you've got a local but for me I don't. That's why MoviePass is cool because you're not tied to one cinema. I don't think it'll be long before they launch into international markets anyways.

[@mmmduckie]

I've got a Limitless pass and I love being able to see multiple films a day - only pay for the petrol there and back one time, and you can watch 3 or 4 movies a day if you get your schedule right. Though the Moviepass model of being able to go to 3 or 4 different cinema chains is very tempting, I'd probably still stick with Limitless for that reason if Moviepass ever came to the UK

[@AltafNanavati]

I do use MoviePass, because I am one of the over-eaters lol. My dream was to be able to get to a point in my life where I could watch a movie a day and not have to worry about draining my bank account. I thought I had to get rich first, but MoviePass solved that problem!

[@BellaPJ]

I LOVE THIS!!! You guys literally went and got answers to questions you have been asking and it’s just awesome! EXCELLENT JOB SCREENJUNKIES🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Cognizant1]

Only about 1/3 through the interview, so far, but he's doing a solid job. I recently joined MP but have been hearing some of the criticism, lately. I'm impressed, to say the least.

[@ohitelms350]

This interview was so gentle and informative! Loved listening and learning good questions and answers !

[@pnshr88]

Absolutely amazing interview, hope this grants you guys some great publicity as it should. First time interviewing an edgy topic you guys were probably sweating this interview before it happened, I just like to say that you guys did an absolutely amazing job. I would like to think Mr. Lowe was feeling the same exact way and seemed more then comfortable with the atmosphere and questions you were providing. All my questions were asked and them some. Great job guys. Way to go.

[@chelseanagy2552]

Awesome interview with an amazing guest! Your questions were pointed and I felt that the answers were candid and genuine. I have MoviePass, but haven’t used it of late due to concerns that arose after the AMC story. After watching this I feel more confident in the future and motivations behind MoviePass. Here’s to Movies and I’ll see everyone at the theater! :)

[@EricVega2020]

Great interview to listen to. I can validate Mitch Lowe's assumptions (one data point, I know. I signed up for MP last year in October, and my wife got MP a month later. We had stopped going to movies because the cost had become prohibitive (family of 4). We'd rather wait until movies were on Netflix/HBO/Amazon/etc. We have averaged 2 movies a month, up from one every two months. Yes, we've gone to see Star Wars, Black Panther, among other blockbusters. We have also ventured into movies that we would not have otherwise seen in the theatre (I, Tonya, The Shape of Water, Ferdinand). We have still spent the same money at concessions on every visit, so the theatres are definitely benefitting from the increased traffic. A service like this is a win-win for everyone involved. Keep up the good work!

[@bearzerger]

Great job with the interview. It was really surprising to see a CEO be so upfront about his business model and his ideas. Keep up the good work.

[@tharrock337]

Literaly pressed pause on movie fights to watch this. Movie Brocoli, my favorite!

[@AlexanderDockham]

May have been a 40 minute ad, but like... it was a great ad. Love this kind of content

[@EagleGrizzly]

I really hope this trend continues of CEOs/senior officials walking through their business models on platforms where young people frequent. I will be getting movie pass as soon as life settles down a bit more. Last year, I saw 9 movies in theaters and wanted to see many others. The price per movie was just too high.

[@JamesJiansen]

Great interview. Great man. Honest, straight forward and great speaker!

[@wilfloyd7236]

This was a pretty incredible catch of an interview, and y'all nailed it. So did Mitch. He was candid and open, and I could feel from his responses that he really does, as well as MoviePass as a corporate entity, want to not only save the movie going experience, but offer a gut check to the big chains like AMC by showing them they have been committing slow suicide with their pricing schemes.

[@n0t1n2punk]

this is like a ted talk experience. props to roth and billy for this quality content

[@kingoceanblu4445]

I can't believe I watched the entire 40 Min Interview but it was fun to listen to... Lot of Company Speak but He does make Alot of Solid Points... I have Movie Pass and Love It!

[@ephinys8169]

WOW this interview is great! I don't know anything about economy or whatever but listening to this man makes everything really easy to understand.

[@sillygoosesurvivor]

This was awesome! Really great dialogue between you guys and really fascinating info from Mitch. I would totally watch more interviews like this. Great job guys!

[@thesamedison]

MP will be the next biggest multi billion dollar unicorn startup after AMZN, NFLX, AIRBNB, UBER.

[@kamalcalhoun7713]

thesamedison true

[@gregkrazanski]

well the stock is on sale right now if you want to grab some

[@nicholas201111]

Archduke Kitten yes time will tell

[@Love.IsTheAnswer]

@archduke kitten. The theater industry has been killing itself by inflating ticket costs hoping to make more but making less. Moviepass corrects their mistake and AMC will eventually be forced to choose between A) life before Moviepass and sinking annual revenues and B) life after MoviePass with exponential new revenues from lower cost ticket sales and concessions. They won’t be able to create their own MoviePass and will take the deal Mitch mentioned that has protection they want.

[@LabradorIndependent]

MoviePass is a heartbeat away from bankruptcy So much for multi-billion dollars.

[@TheGamingCirclePodcast]

Such a great interview. The CEO sounds pretty straight forward. I expected more caginess and buzz words. I'm sold: I'm already a moviepass subscriber but I just bought some of their stock too.

[@ItsKimOlson]

MoviePass is available at Dine-In: Studio Movie Grill (my theater where I work). And customers can buy the tickets from home. Bundles for couples / families should be the next step!

[@Beastmig3415]

This is really cool, y’all. This is the kind of thing you don’t see anywhere else. It’s so dope he reached out

[@doloresd.1945]

This was so interesting and informative! Well done, great interview and amazing that you managed to talk to the CEO himself!

[@keithguinan4057]

This interview settles a lot of the questions raised against moviepass. Their model makes a lot more sense now. Great interview

[@blasianbeauty24]

Wow!!! The CEO guy is Amazing! This interview was GREAT!! I'm 100% getting movie pass now!!!

[@westsonrises]

He's incredibly well spoken and shows a strong command of his company and it's philosophy, which is something you can say about many CEOs

[@EGOS42]

Great interview. The guest was informative and came across as very frank. It's a great sign for a business when everything appears to be above board like it was in this interview.

[@andrerodriguesptpl]

Great Interview! Congrats SJ team!!!

[@chloeds522]

This was a great interview! Fantastic questions and he was so transparent. I am now considering getting Movie Pass.

[@Zachsharp]

Fantastic interview. So cool to see him on here.

[@luq7]

Wow, this guy thinks BOLD! I am impressed - also by how open and genuine he talks about these plans. Which, come to think about it, propably does not happen out of the blue, but is a calculated marketing strategy to improve Movie Pass' image... At some points, he was almost a bit too in synch with the opinions the Screen Junkies articulate every day on their show... Anyway, much appreciated transparency.

[@MommyOfMutants]

Watching this after today’s SJU (9/16/2019) talking about the death of Movie Pass. Reminds me how much we miss Roth...and Billy’s ponytail 😂

[@christinarobles3367]

Great interview with great questions!! I’m definitely considering getting moviepass

[@stevekobb3850]

YES, I use MoviePass and LOVE it. My wife and I bought 2 MP cards at Costco and used it for the first time on Feb. 6, 2018. We paid $180 (2 x $90). It's now June 9th, and to date, we have purchased 85 tickets, worth $850 at an average price of $10 per ticket. AND we have another 7.5 months to go on our annual subscription! Netflix is great, but the actual movie experience is WAY better in a theater. So, God bless Mitch Lowe and all the other financial engineers at MoviePass. They are doing a good thing for the world.

[@TepidShark]

This was very interesting. I didn't use MoviePass because of all of the concerns raised but may consider it after this video. It seems to me like they are hoping to make money by people who don't use it and/or forget to cancel.

[@HollyALau]

TepidShark I don’t see this as a bad thing. It’s how gyms make money!

[@vaplanman]

They have several more revenue streams than the subscriptions. It's a lot like a newspaper. The $10/month you pay for a newspaper doesn't even cover the ink but it proves distribution, driving ad revenue and other things.

[@jeffknutsen2941]

This is an incredible interview... i was skeptical about how movie pass was working, but after thus interview it def makes more sense now

[@cforbes54]

Wow what a great interview!!!

[@willeeuhm]

I've been a happy customer for a few months now, but this video eased a lot of my existing reservations about the service. Great interview.

[@redmangoose182]

Too bad you didn't ask him about the petty complaints against Sinemia and the shitty customer service.

[@audreypeaks8578]

There is an interview where they admitted c.s sucks. they didn't prepare for the rate of growth and they are putting more resources into c.s

[@dane.1043]

Mitch seems like a very down to earth guy and a great interview. Just great insight behind the curtain. Would love to see more of these types of interviews.

[@Kemrexx]

Great interview! Cheers!

[@marywarren8357]

I use MP and I LOVE it!! Great interview!! :)

[@MJTUEN]

Good Interview, very informative. Hope to hear more from Moviepass in the near future.

[@king2kx]

this was very interesting to watch... nice job SJ :)

[@radamest2]

We've BEEN using MoviePass in our family for almost a year now... it's been AWESOME!

[@hm6052]

Questions were on point, and the whole thing was simply engaging. Great job! ^_^

[@dxsloparr]

I love my moviepass. However, they cancelled my wife’s account for no reason yet they keep charging me every month. And on top of that customer service is nonexistent

[@GrandMasterLynx]

Andrew Parr Get a new credit card that way they can’t charge you any more

[@thomasduncan5522]

I've been on the fence about it but he explained it very well. It could prolong the theater industry. I will probably purchase Moviepass now.

[@TawnyPixie]

Wow, this was really interesting! Hearing the CEO explain everything so candidly makes me see moviepass in a much more positive light. I was worried MP was just a faceless entity looking to make a quick buck from selling data, only to disappear after they stopped making money. I'm encouraged to see that they have experienced people with a long-term game plan.

[@scottishtaylor4587]

I live in Gasgow and although we don’t have movie pass I have a cineworld unlimited card which is basically movie pass it’s £13.99 a month I get unlimited movies plus 20% off the concession stand and discounts for local restaurants and shops it’s pretty great! It’s strange that movie theatres in USA are against this where in uk it’s the theatres who actually offer the deal,

[@bluesman9832]

That was a great interview. Great job you guys! I love movie pass and my wife and I have doubled our movie trips sense we signed up in the fall. Highly recommend

[@ravip781]

great interview....

[@tomlevine2134]

Wow, he's got, like, an answer for everything!!! Great interview. I love me, my Moviepass, butI am bewildered, perplexed, and confounded on the whole thing. It's my magical happy unicorn :)

[@johnathanross303]

Great interview guys. Movie pass for life!

[@courtneyrebecca1035]

Super interesting! I might just have to sign up! Great idea to have him on the show

[@jorgealbertoosoriocaballer2421]

This interview was awesome, this guy really know how to sell his product, sounds very interesting and like a great opportunity to keep movie theaters alive, I would love for something like this to exist here in Mexico, but i'm happy that at least exist someone that is trying this kind of ideas.

[@DoNotWorryPodcast]

This was great guys.

[@DummyUrD]

I would love if you guys would take a look at the numbers he mentioned during this. But overall I was very surprised how open he was over many different topics. Thanks!

[@toniortiz301]

My husband and I both have our moviepass accounts and we have gone from seeing 1 or 2 movies a year to seeing 3 or 4 movies a month. We are both retired, so we have plenty of time to see movies. I had forgotten how much I love seeing a movie on a big screen at a theater. Usually we go to a matinee, but we also go on the weekend with our granddaughter and buy her ticket. We sometimes buy concession items. It seems like a win win to me.

[@PG4D]

This is exactly the interview I have been waiting for! After having MoviePass for the last couple of months, my thought has been I should take full advantage of this deal while I can. With this interview, I'm more comforted to learn that there is a long-term vision and it isn't simply a quick data-mining venture that will be gone once they get what they need. Mitch seems like a smart guy who is a genuine fan of movies (I'm guessing he's a bit partial to those of Wes Anderson :D), which is also refreshing to hear.

[@FlyAVersatran]

Great interview, thank you. I got mine at Costco just before Xmas last year. I liked it enough that I bought two more subs as gifts. My original plan was to do a movie a day for a year, but the death of a family friend made THAT impossible (so rude!)... Now the chain's broken, Idon't go when I'm at movie festivals (Noir City in SF, Dam Short in Boulder City)...but the MP experience is spectacular. I have three Regals within walking distance of my house (that's the kind of thing that happens when you live in the City of Entertainment [oh, and I pay no state taxes either BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY]) and MP has renewed my desire to be in a theater. The market's dropped a bit; i just bought shares in HMNY today in hopes they're able to put it all together. I'm a big believer in the Peter Lynch theory of invest in things you use. (I also exercise every day I see flix...Sittin' in a movie theater, repetitively, will kill you...So my MP membership is actually responsible for making me more fit.) As a movie fan, I hope they do well. If not...at least the flaming chariot heading into the sun will have good flix.

[@CriPPleR_HD]

I used my Movie Pass for the first time last week. The manager at my local Marquee 12 helped me activate the app. I was expecting her to be frustrated because of Movie Pass but it was quite the opposite! We talked about her take on MP and she was extremely positive. She said that she could not understand why any theater would not want to except MP. She said it is a win win for everyone. I think the negative MP press is from big chains like AMC. For most theaters I bet they love the extra business.

[@acevedo_avocado]

Awesome interview.

[@splinter1psi99]

I already had MoviePass since December and seen a dozen films but listening to dude talk about it and knowing he's been involved in all these other companies, I feel like it's gonna actually be around for awhile.

[@jeffersonian000]

Good interview, makes me consider subscribing to Movie Pass.

[@zokontech]

Holy shit I want one now. I want to start seeing more movies in theaters.

[@RudieObias]

I've been a MoviePass subscriber since 2015. At first I would go to the movies 3 times every weekend (Fri, Sat, and Sun) for the first few months. The most I ever went in one month was 15 visits. But now, I only go about 3 times a month. I also live in NYC, so just going once a month is worth the price for a subscription. Movies generally cost $15 and there are very few matinee prices in NYC.

[@NikitaBelomestnykh]

I have a Movie Pass (got two for my girlfriend and myself for her birthday) ad we use them all the time. I think this is an amazing startup and as an independent producer - I love their attitude towards indie moviemaking.

[@SJPace1776]

He is right about mid to low end budget movies. Tickets got so expensive I switched to 6-8 event movies a year. Since I got Movie pass in November I go about once a week and have checked several movies never would have seen due to the cost threshold. Not sure how long it will last, but I love it right now.

[@ryanlilly7264]

Thank you for this, ScreenJunkies. This made me feel WAY less guilty about being a MoviePass holder (Which I held off on doing for months and months).

[@sabrinagrant8003]

Hi, I’m a believer. A friend of mine at work told me about MoviePass last year, I applied and got the card after that it just sat in my wallet because I didn’t understand it. I’ve since gone on KZbin and got a clear understanding. So far this week I’ve gone to the movies three times. I saw The Incredibles, Oceans 8 and Jurassic World. I love MoviePass I hope it never goes way.

[@MrBoyYankee]

Finally we get an idea of how moviepass work. Props to @MitchLowe and @ScreenJunkies News for giving @MJRTheatres and @EmagineTheatres A Shout Out

Ive had moviepass for months now and I LOVE IT.I tend to go 3-4 times a month since I got it. I have been spreading the word to friends and even strangers. My only issue is how long it takes to get the card. I was told 7-10 and did not get it till almost a month after that.

Having to be at the theater, ordering the tickets in app, then ordering again & paying at the box office seems like a hassle. Most of the theaters in my area have reserved seating so advance ordering is a must
