Movie pass wont work for me. For $10 a month, I can watch 10 99¢ movie rentals on iTunes. For the cost of two people on movie pass, that can be 4 to 20 movies on iTunes/Amazon in a month.

I think moviepass is targeted at singles who go to movies less than 12 times a year and it helps bring that demography to the theaters, and probably spend more on concessions.

I dont understand why Theater chains are "terrified"

The big thing you’re missing is that the theater shows new movies. Also, iTunes rentals are usually more than that.
