You rock, Toothless. Thank you much!

 

[Shanlei91]

ehh the wording is weird, you get charged 9 immediately for the trial and then 9 again two weeks later at first?

I'll wait a bit before signing up haha

 

[Kibbles]

Can you use this at any theater? Or is it restricted to certain chains?

Didn't work for me on new movies last time for me at my Marvus Theater, had to wait for them to go to the smaller screens. Worked for AMC but that shits too far for me. Wonder if it got any better since, only been a year or so since I last tried.

 

[Glass Shark]

You can't.

I think they changed this. Their restrictions now are very simple: one 2D movie per day, no questions asked.

 

[Mikhal]

Showcase Cinemas Lowell
Luna Theater
Chunky's Pelham Cinema and Pub
AMC Tyngsboro
AMC Burlington

Awesome! I go to most of those theaters. Thank you!

 

[SunDimension24]

Thank you toothless! One theatre is a five minute walk away from me so I'll definitely sign up.

 

[Inferno313]

I wonder if my theater's giant screen will count. It's not an IMAX, it's just their off-brand version of it. It's only a dollar extra than their normal ticket prices.

 

[metsallica]

My GF who also signed up doesn't have a data plan on her phone; she uses wifi for everything. I wonder if the app will even work, or if she can just sign in with her account on my app after I get my ticket.

 

[daveo42]

My roommate will be pleased by this. He cancelled when movie pass changed their rates to $50/month because of how many hoops you already had to go through to see movies to begin with. That 1-a-day thing too is a literal 24 hour period, or at least it was when he was still using their service.

It's a great service if you use it often enough, but my guess is they'll go back to a higher monthly sub eventually due to "heavy users" that actually took advantage of the service as opposed to barely using it at all.

 

[Expendable.]

I had this for almost 3 years before canceling about 6 months ago. The price increased from $30 to $40. Then they implemented a stupid policy where a theater only had a set amount of tickets for each morning, afternoon, and night. And they were almost always low or out when I checked. I signed back up. I just hope the number of tickets policy is gone.

The ticket allocation policy is 100% gone.

Anything other than a standard showing probably won't work. RPX is kind of what you're talking about, it's only like a $1 upcharge but it's still not eligible

 

[Cipher Peon]

I'm gonna sign up because this is a dream come true for someone who watches a lot of films in the city.

I am a little anxious in regards to their policy of only being able to order tickets day of, since I watch big blockbusters on the day of their release. Not being able to purchase tickets of those in advance makes me really skittish about pulling the trigger.

 

[zelas]

This would be perfect if allowed Landmark Theaters (better selection of artsy films) but still seems like a good deal.

 

[Samus4145]

Do you have to sign up 2x if you want 2 tickets or can you add on a second to your account?

edit: FAQ updated. Only single passes. I wonder if I can use the same paypal account for 2?

 

[Sanchito]

Looks like they are updating the page, guys. There is more information in the FAQ now. At least, there is for me.

Interesting...I think you are right. I saw Detroit last weekend and now I just saw if I could check in again and it wasn't greyed out.

Can anyone else actually try it and confirm?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Can someone check 78526?

 

[DOWN]

I keep typing my zip code but the list is showing NYC only.

EDIT working now

They posted a tweet about 2 hours ago that confirms. You can watch the same movie as many times as you want, once per day.

It does not. However, if your theater is doing a type of re-release, like for example AMC's recent re-release of Lion King, it does work for that.

Sweet, both the theaters I go to are in that list.

So let me get this straight, I can prebook if I go to the theater to buy the ticket? So if I run by the theater in the morning I can buy the ticket there and come back later?

Can you do that days in advance or just the day of?

 

[Beer Monkey]

I'll give it a try. There are good theaters in this in Cincinnati. Since I used PayPal I can revoke the subscription on them at any time.

 

[BTA]

Looks like they are updating the page, guys. There is more information in the FAQ now. At least, there is for me.

Yeah, I'm seeing things as being made <30 minutes ago.

Kinda weird to not have that part of the site ready, huh.

 

[BassForever]

Checked the map the two theaters I see 95% of my movies are seen at those theaters.

 

[Spiritual_Chaos]

10 bucks?

Man, if that existed in Sweden. The cheapest here is like, 11-12 dollars nowadays.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Is it for 2?

Like with my subscription can I take my wife?

 

[ShabbadooJr]

The ticket allocation policy is 100% gone.

Fantastic. Thanks!

 

[Toothless]

Sorry guys, I'm done ith zipcode checks for now because I really need to get some sleep. I can check in again in a few hours though.

That said, OH MY GOD REWATCHES ARE ALLOWED NOW??? This is the greatest day ever.

I'm gonna see Last Jedi forty times

 

[demosthenes]

Can someone that uses comment. If my gf and I want to see a movie. Can I buy 2 tickets early? Or no because she's not there?

 

[bigkrev]

Is it for 2?

Like with my subscription can I take my wife?

No, she would need a subscription as well

 

[kingocfs]

The site is getting absolutely hammered.

I love the irony of this being headed by a former Netflix and Redbox exec

[WriterGK]

If this takes off how is any non subscriber ever going to get a seat at a theater anymore? I know its limited to one movie a day but the bored, kids are just going to be taking advantage of this of every single day. I guess the theaters don't care because they want you to buy food and drinks.

When optimum gave away free movies on Tuesdays the crowding even on that smaller scale crowding was a real problem.

Trust me bro. I have this in The Netherlands since 2008. There is plenty of room. Only advisable to make a reservation for Friday and Saturday nights , other then that rarely ever have trouble getting tickets. Glad to see its in USA now as well

Indeed they did. Amazing!

That's fucking awesome, glad they finally changed that.

 

[robotrock]

Has anyone received an email confirmation?

Just got one!

 

[insignia16]

Can anyone check 91750 and 91505?

Thanks!

Yeah.. it's sorta important information.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

Wow, so every theater I usually go to (middle TN area) is usable. Even the Belcourt, an art house theater. That's pretttty crazy.

 

[Lonestar]

Same for the other zip, but that reads as Burbank?
AMC Theatres Burbank Town Center 8
United Artists La Canada 8
AMC Theatres Burbank Town Center 6
AMC Burbank 16
Pacific Theatres Glendale 18
Laemmle Noho 7

Those are roughly in that area

The map feature on this site is kind of buggy

 

[Beer Monkey]

Hm, there's an Atmos screen near me at a participating theater. Would that be covered?

 

[border]

The price is so low it makes me kinda suspicious. I can't even get their site to load at the moment to check out the fine print

 

[Natiko]

Both myself and my girlfriend signed up. Thanks!

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Cineworld Unlimited is £17.40 a month but you get so much more. Couldn't live without it.

- Truly unlimited movies as long as they don't start within 90 minutes of one another
- Can book upto 3 movies in advance
- Spend a few more £ a year and be able to take a friend free on Tuesday/Wednesdays (with Meerkat Movies)
- Early screenings to some movies
- 10% discount on cinema snacks (25% after a year)
- Discount at some restaurants
- No 3D uplift after you've had it for a year

The only bad thing is at first it's a 12 month contract. But even if you see just a few movies a month it is worth it.

Closest to me is Huntingdon, shame because its a great deal.

 

[BronsonLee]

Hm, there's an Atmos screen near me at a participating theater. Would that be covered?

Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll no

 

[Shabadoo69]

I think me and my wife are going to sign up for this. We usually see about a movie a month. with this I think we would see pretty much all movies in theater even the mediocre ones we are on the fence on. Is this a limited time offer? We are busy the next few weeks so we want to wait to sign up or should we just sign up now?

Edit: Never mind space is limited. I guess we are signing up now.

 

[Wafflecakes]

The price is so low it makes me kinda suspicious. I can't even get their site to load at the moment to check out the fine print

My guess is that they are willing to take this hit for a while to massively drive up their sub numbers so that they can gradually increase prices.

I don't mind... I will just cancel once the sub hits $15 or so.

 

[DOWN]

Hm, there's an Atmos screen near me at a participating theater. Would that be covered?

Doubt it. It seems like it is for standard 2D screenings. Unless your theatres have upgraded all screens to Atmos sound and don’t charge premiums, i would guess it isn’t included.

 

[Mashing]

Can someone check 77346 please?

 

[zelas]

ehh the wording is weird, you get charged 9 immediately for the trial and then 9 again two weeks later at first?

Avoid that by not signing up for the trial.
