MoviePass has announced that on January 1st, 2019 they will be moving to a new system where subscribers will be able to choose from three different plans. Plans will be as follows:
- Select ($10-$15 per month depending on the area you live in). Provides three movies per month, current restrictions on what movies can be seen applies (aka we will randomly let you see a movie sometimes, maybe).
- All Access ($15-$20Â per month depending on the area you live in). Provides three movies per month, you can see these whenever you want as long as it’s a standard screening (e.g no 3D).
- Red Carpet ($20-$25 per month depending on the area you live in). Provides three movies per month, one of them can be a premium screening (e.g 3D)
My faith in MoviePass not changing these plans in the near future is zero. People signed up for three movies per month a long time ago and MoviePass has done nothing but add restrictions in place to make it near impossible to use. Other movie subscription plans like Sinemia are no better.
These are crap. The plans are basically “buy one movie a month, kinda sort of maybe get a discount on another two.”
Across the whole sprectrum of possible viewing habits, ticket prices and other movie specials and discounts, I really have a hard time imagining many people can really rationally say “Wow, not only am I coming out ahead, I’m going to be doing so well on this I am super confident I can max this out well enough to commit. I’m going to dive in”
For the most part I totally agree with you, not for everyone. However, in my case I was able to see 18 in 3 months last summer and it was awesome!
Moviepass so far has been working out for me fine. I make use of Marcus Theatres or AMC’s $5 Tuesday. I buy 2x $5 movies by checking in some show at that theatre using a single Moviepass. Marcus theatre even provides complimentary pop-corn for $5 Tuesday show.
Essentially for $10/month I get 6x $5 movies and 6x Pop Corns. Yum Yum.
Thanks for posting this. It reminded me that my year was up and to cancel the damn thing. It was so nice for the first 6 months though. Did get my money out of it.
No matter how tempting it may seem, avoid MoviePass on principle alone. They’re a POS company with zero regard for their customers, they change terms on a whim, and they’re perpetually unstable.
You’ve been warned. It’s a complete joke.
Complete trash service. I received a full refund through Costco, but my Moviepass account remained active. There are never any movies playing at any local theaters through the app. I wish the company would die already.
I doubt they’ll change those plans since they’re not really saving people money. I’d expect a lot of cancellations instead.
The only payment option that I could see is using a bank account and routing number… so no credit card payments. That means if they do some mischief midway, we cannot even do a chargeback with our credit card and get stuck with MoviePass.
Come on people. I live in the area with 2 AMC (20) next to me. I can still see any movie I want. I just buy ticket to a movie that is available that day and then go see any other movie I wish. Once you are inside the theater, noone checks. Considering these movies can run at $16 per movie, its still a great deal. It is true its a bit harder to use but as long as you have Multiplex near you, its fine. Its also possible to buy a ticket and then return it for cash and then buy a different one or just exchange it for a different ticket at the customer service window if you really want to game the system :).
This might be good for the moment, but what if MP decides to bring back ticket photo verification?
If u live in an AMC are A-list is the way to go
Still waiting for my re-activation on the Unlimited Plan I was told I’d receive via email…
