Are multiplex cinemas really completely filled so often? We always just show up 15 minutes before the film starts and never had any trouble. I mean, we are sad when we can’t find a row with no one directly in front of or behind us …
Obviously you shouldn’t watch the new Avengers movie during the first couple of weeks, but I wouldn’t watch it during those weeks even if I had no flat rate. Cinemas full of people are awful. (Also, I think I can even order online, but in practice that was never necessary and I do want to sit next to my friends.)

This certainly seems like a way for cinemas to drive up utilization.
If my local Cinema (incidentally Cineworld) offered it I would seriously consider going there more often.

Is this not the same thing?

For reference, at my local Cineworld in Greenwich, 17.90 is less than the cost of two adult tickets.

Mine's in Germany, I assumed it's part of the UK chain because of the name. After some searching I'm still not sure whether it is. If it is it seems like the management has pretty much abandoned it - Here's the website (pricing): https://cineworld-luenen.de/kino/tree/node4217/city280
At the time there were a few restrictions, you needed to pay more for 3D or IMAX, and you had to collect tickets from the counter. This last part meant going at peak times was discouraged (as you needed to queue and weren’t guaranteed a ticket), so I usually went at off peak times when the cinema was usually empty.
