MoviePass Discussion
- Thread starter CyReN
- Start date
Honestly thought it was going to happen sooner. They really held on.
MoviePass died, so that AMC A-List and Regal Unlimited could live.
Bravo to this very stupid company, that basically paid me to see movies for an entire year.

Joined a couple years back when they dropped to unlimited $9.99/month. Got to see a shit-ton of movies. Stayed until they started the fuckery and switched to the upstart AMC A-List. Great deal that continues to deliver.
Grateful that they kickstarted movie subscription service into the mainstream.

Seriously though, this scam ass company gonna keep doing shady shit. Count on it
They will gladly keep charging your credit card if you miss them that much...
When I saw this thread bumped, my first thought was... one last ride?
Cinemark Movie Club has been a nice option for me. Not sure if that is a chain for most of you. But no online fees really adds up over time.
Same haha. I don't like being tied to a single theater chain for their unlimited plans; it's too bad MoviePass wasn't able to make their idea workable even if it cost a bit more.
MoviePass died so A-List could live. While I definitely miss frequenting the many indie theaters of NYC, A-List gets me 90% of the way there with much nicer theaters, much better sound, picture, and just a better overall experience.
Mine went from $20 to $24. A Dolby ticket in NYC is $27 and I'm seeing at least 4 movies a month. It can go up a bit and I'll still be happy.
yes, i would rather go to classic cinemas honestly....they are much closer and more value friendly on the popcorn/drink.
Regal Unlimited still charges fricken convenience fees which is some major BS, epecially when i usually bring my brother along. I would have continued to use A-List, but after I moved the drive is too far now.
However regal you can abuse the free small popcorn and upgrade to a large for $2
So i guess its really a wash overall
Also the fact that they were basically giving away money to people.
It sounded crazy when I was describing it to people as it was happening
I'm pretty sure MoviePass was a giant money laundering scheme.
I was in it from the very beginning (though after the initial failed "voucher" period). Even at $30, where it started in NYC, it was a steal. Even when it crept up to $45 I stuck it out. At $50 I jumped off, started using AMC Black Tickets, then jumped back on and went HARD at $9.99. Felt like highway robbery the entire time. A-List still does, to an extent. Good times.
Goddamn, they filed for chapter 7, not 11, which means they weren't even gonna try to save the company and just burn it all down.
When I signed up for Moviepass, the card I used declined. There was no way to update it. Then I noticed my account was active and they just never bothered to charge me each month. I used the service for close to a year, until I fired up a chat to report a theater issue and they cancelled my card after letting me see that movie free too.
You should try AMC A-List:
AMC Theaters |OT| A-List Subscription Service
With AMC Stubs A-List, it’s easy to make FREE online reservations anytime for up to 3 movies every week. Choose any format, including IMAX® and Dolby Cinema. There are no blackout dates. You could have a triple feature in one day, or watch movies throughout the week. If you really, really like...
