MoviePass has changed people’s moviegoing habits

A theater chain could easily do it. Imagine if they come out with “AMC pass”. They’ve got the network and prime locations.

I bet they’re waiting for MoviePass to go belly up first. No point in having to compete with a company that’s literally throwing money at them (paying full price x3-4 per person per month to AMC).

I guess they could, but they don't seem to want to. Cinemark's competitor gives you ONE movie (non-premium, non-3D, etc.) a month for $8.99.

Watching the ad for it preroll every time before a movie I've 'paid for' (with MoviePass) coming on has become a running joke between me and my partner that only people who are such luddites that they've never heard of MoviePass would remotely think it was a good deal.

Every theater chain already has passes, and has for a couple years now.

None of them are halfway as good of a deal as moviepass is.

Imagine when most of their revenue comes from MoviePass. They can't flip a switch overnight.
