jessaustin, I don't often see more than a movie or two per month, but back when I had a MoviePass (before they cut the price so low!), I found myself seeing movies I wouldn't otherwise have bothered to see. When the marginal cost is zero, it becomes a lot easier to drop by a theater and see what's playing, and even walk out if the movie's no good, feeling no sense of loss.
I was paying $40/month for MoviePass, and most months they still lost money and me, and I saw a lot of movies in a theater that I would normally have waited to see at home.

I can't think of a month in which I wanted to see three movies in current release...

If you live in a city with many independent theaters showing limited releases and foreign films, 31 movies per month isn't enough to scratch the surface.
PS. Staff at indie theaters tell me that 70-80% of tickets are purchased with Moviepass cards.
But normal people wont they will see 1 or 2
I live in an area with a cheap cost of living and even if I only went to one movie a month a MP is still about a buck cheaper.
The MoviePass price is per month. There is NO cost per viewing.
You could in theory see up to 31 movies for your single $10 payment.
