    I'm really pissed that Moviepass didn't exist before I had kids

    Well is that because you just don't enjoy going to the theaters except for like what 4 movies a year? Or do you just don't think the experience is worth the price? Because if it's the latter moviepass can really help with that. Like if you get a sale/deal it's as low as $7.50 a month
    Oh I love the experience with how Marcus is now with the dream lounger seats and being able to reserve and pick seats. I guess there is generally not enough movies I'm generally interested in that as you said I'd go maybe about 4 times a year. I'm sure if I made a little more and STARTED doing it and kind of got into the habit I'd probably use and keep it. I mean I have a netflix subscription and I watch like one thing on it a month if that. However yes I think it is a wonderful idea. I do love all the changes and improvements we have gotten to the movie experience we've gotten over the last 5 or so years.

    I guess it depends on the area, but I've only needed to ever reserve good seats for movies like Star Wars and Avengers, AND only on opening weekend. Also, only IMAX theaters take reserved seats near me, so if I'm going to a non-IMAX showing, it makes no difference.

    I have to reserve weeks in advance for big movies, very early in the week for any decent size movie on Thursday/Friday. My GF uses is because she likes artsy movies and can just walk in because lolwhogoestothose

    Yeah, I mean I bought my Avengers ticket like last week and won't use MoviePass for it on opening night. If it see it 2-3x though, I'll for sure just use MoviePass.

    Yeah most movies I go to end up being nice to have reserved seats for.

    Just saw this. Use Moviepass while you can. May not be around forever. =\

    Losing a lot of money is very normal for large companies.

    Yeah I always wondered how they made any money when they’re essentially paying for every single ticket for the month sans five dollars.

    The more people use it per month, the more money they lose.

    Their business model was based on the laziness of the average moviegoer. Not a BAD idea but not a great one.

    What? It doesn't matter how many movies someone sees per month in the long run. If the service becomes massively popular, companies will pay them to advertise and push movies, like they are ALREADY doing as of about 3 months ago. Again, it is absolutely the norm for these type of service companies to lose for years in a row before making massive profits.

    Also, the more users it gets, the more data they can sell, regardless if they admit it or not.

    Thanks to Red Letter Media suggesting Hidden during their Quiet Place review, I watched that tonight. It's apparently the Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things) Film debut. Drama-Horror of a family locked down in a bomb shelter. Not absolutely amazing, but I thought it was well done, especially when it came to the end.

    Saw Get Out just now. Highly enjoyable if you ignore the glaring plot hole of anyone besides a white person taking that long to realize they're in a horror movie.

    Wat? Their plan has always been to sell user data. On top of ads and now concession shares and exclusive films. There’s a reason investors keep giving them hundreds of millions of dollars and it’s not cuz they are banking on people staying home.

    Sure it could fail like any other startup but it’s losing way less money than company’s like Uber.

    Fair point, it's also an order of magnitude smaller than Uber though.
