That is different. Uber and Lyft were paying drivers to drive.

MoviePass was giving people basically free tickets, but paying FULL FARE at AMC and Cinemark.

AMC and Cinemark have no reason to negotiate because what would happen if MoviePass stopped giving away tickets to AMC and Cinemark? Users would leave MoviePass and continue going to AMC and Cinemark at full price.
