MoviePass, Sinemia, A-List & Beyond - Subscription Theatergoing

[Mysteryman]

They sure are eager to hang onto their rapidly shrinking customer base aren’t they?

I cancelled in april when they were pulling that avengers stunt, seems based on reports it gets worse every month. Ive contemplated doing cinemarks movie program but i just dont go alot this time of year.

Finally cancelled mine due to their Slenderman shenanigans. It was good while it lasted.

I am debating if the AMC that is 30 mins further than my local theater is worth driving to on movie days. I am scouting it this weekend.

 

[flickchick85]

Check out their concessions menu while you're there. My AMC's menu is awesome.

I live on the edge of PA and MD, so I gotta head toward Baltimore to get to the theater This is why I stuck it out with MoviePass as long as I have, but now I am thinking AMC A-List may be a service actually worth it. Even if I just do the IMAX 1 time, it almost pays for it. I just have to suck up the gas cost.

Turns out that it's a widespread problem.

I hope it works out SF.

Or so you think...

In the wake of the company’s misfortune and constantly changing terms and conditions, it’s understandable that some subscribers to movie ticket service MoviePass are cancelling their subscription.

Now though it appears the company isn’t making it so easy. In fact, Business Insider) (via Digital Trends) reports some previous subscribers who canceled their accounts in the past few days and weeks have received an email letting them know that they have been automatically re-enrolled back into the service as part of new plan changes.

Several of these users received an email from MoviePass with a note on the bottom saying: “if you had previously requested cancellation prior to opting-in, your opt-in to the new plan will take priority and your account will not be canceled.”

Some of those users reportedly tried to then go through the steps to cancel their accounts again, but find they are only receiving an error message while attempting to do so.

The company is expected to permanently implement a new plan on Wednesday, August 15th that will allow subscribers to pay $10 per month to see up to three movies during that period – this time allowing them to see any film they want in that time (unlike the previous few days).

So do I, LOL! The prospect of seeing Avengers 4 3 times in one day every week is tempting

Dark Horizons

Aye, I've heard of that. Thankfully, I haven't received an email saying that...yet. Afraid to log into the app out of that fear it'll re-enroll me.

Its sounds like a plan to me. t:

 

[Spider-Fan]

Look at this description of the new 9.95 per month plan...straight from the Moviepass website:

See both blockbuster and independent films

Choose from up to 6 films daily

Buy additional tickets with discounts of up to $5*

Watch at 91% of movie theaters in the US

Get invites to special events & screenings

So the Moviepass chooses what you can see daily is going to continue.

They are also now being sued by stockholders because they straight up mislead to them about how successful this plan was.

 

[jnmx2000]

I'm still hanging onto my moviepass and I have A-List. Moviepass is still good for my throwback films I see on either tuesday or thursday since those aren't AMC theaters and the E-ticketing landmark theater always plays the limited release films weeks before AMC if AMC plays them at all. For example I saw Three identical strangers, won't you be my neighbor, and eighth grade opening weekend at landmark so it's still worth it for me.

Why Cinemark's unsexy $8.99 movie-theater subscription plan may actually be the one that survives

They are currently letting people get a month free to try out their service.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I have put in my cancellation request with Moviepass. My last official day is Sept 4th. I will be switching to A-list more than likely. The alternating movie options offered each day was just a deal breaker for me. I want to be in the mood to see a certain movie, not plan my life around when Moviepass will let me.

[Primal Slayer]

I canceled. I still have it until April but I just cant with them anymore. Now you tell me what films I can and cannot see?

 

[Sithborg]

Make sure they took you off.

 

[flickchick85]

Yeah I've got TWO cancellation confirmation e-mails from them and I'm still not yet convinced I'm not about to be charged for another month, lol. Only reason I haven't officially signed up for A-List just yet.

 

[Web-Head]

I'm just glad I go to an e-ticket theater

Moviepass Chief Product Officer Departs After Just Six Months (EXCLUSIVE)

 

[flickchick85]

Well I am now almost 3-weeks free of MoviePass and into A-list and I must say I could not be happier about my choice to switch. A-List works perfectly smoothly within the pre-existing AMC app, which I already had as a Stubs member, so I didn’t even have to download another app for it! I just now no longer have to pay for my ticket purchases at the end of the transactions in the app. Easiest thing ever. I’ve seen 5 movies with it so far, 2 Dolby and 1 IMAX, all new releases (except MI6), one double feature...no problems whatsoever. And if I ever do have problems, it’s at least a comfort to know that AMC is a legit company I don’t have to complain to over Twitter, lol.

Any frequent moviegoers living near an AMC should go for this, imo. I’m grateful for the 1-year price lock guarantee, because I suspect shortly after they surpass MoviePass in subscribers, that price is going up.
