They also now take cuts from ticket prices and upto a 20% cut from concessions.

The article makes it sound like Moviepass now has more leverage than the theatres themselves, which is super interesting.

Based on another article I saw, this doesn’t seem to be the case with AMC.[1]

Basically, all of MoviePass’ subscribers is still a tiny portion of AMC’s sales, so they’re refusing to share any of their revenue with MoviePass.
