Happdy death day is worth a movie pass use. Not bad at all.
Saw Happy Death Day yesterday and the Meadea movie and Geostorm last week when GAF went down (mostly cause it was free and my Regal was doing a 2,000 credit promo for seeing Meada and I still got the points even if the movie didn't cost me anything) and will see Jigsaw or that new Matt Damon movie to close out the month.
So I saw Blade Runner, American Made, Geostorm, Meada, Happy Death Day, and Jigsaw. Since my local theater charges $15 a ticket and moviepass is $10 $15x6=90-$10=$80. I saved $80 with moviepass this month. Thanks moviepass!

Happy Death Day has one of the best studio opening logos I've seen in a long time. I like when they do that (Heck, the last one I remember them changing it was for the original Pitch Perfect. Also a Universal title.)
Oh I forgot I saw Geostorm too added it to the post where I counted what I saved this month through movie pass (would like to know how much others are saving as well monthly and what their theater costs usually are).
I can't believe I saved $80 this month with my pass. And yet, people were saying it's next month moviepass will see the big loss and have to change their rules/ charge customers more just because Thor and Justice League come out then. (Just so you know I don't believe that)
Loving the MoviePass so far.
I watched 7 movies this month. Three I would've paid for anyways Blade Runner, Baby Driver, IT. The rest are something I'm mildly interested in but mightn't have watch cause of the MoviePass: Lego Ninjago, The Foreigner, Happy Death Day, Geostorm.
None of them are that...Geostorm was probably that worst but it's still unintentionally funny. lol
Looking forward to November.

There's no way it stays $10 for more than a year but I don't see it jumping up so quickly. If anything it seems like they were trying to get the new memberships before the big ones like star wars and Thor. To guage it.

Gonna see Suburbicon tonight for sure. Might see Geostorm tomorrow. I love this.
Just got back from watching Suburbicon. If you like the movie Fargo, then you'll really enjoy Suburbicon. Similar in comedic tone.

Saw Jigsaw last night. Definitely planning on seeing Suburbicon tomorrow night. I may pay to see Hitman's Bodyguard again, alongside American Assassin & Medea's Boo! 2, as if you see those three and Jigsaw by the 23rd of November at any Regal theater, you get a digital copy of each film for free.
It's so bad it's funny. See it because of that.

I've had my movie pass since August and haven't used it yet 🙈
I did see IT but didn't feel bothered to open the app and all that.
The next time I did go to the movies it was the Universal City walk AMC which is excluded -_-

Re Geostorm: I laughed more than any other movie I've seen in several years. Just spectacularly bad and unintentionally hilarious.

This that bullshit moviepass :/
Yeah, Im seeing now that you can only watch a movie once through MP. Sucks, since I was seeing some movies more than once for dates/friends.
No. The verbiage about seeing the same movie more than once, and the movie limit/pricing stuff are all unchanged from the previous version of the ToS
The net new changes are:
- You can't walk out of a movie more than once a month*
- They can charge a $25 fine if you (ab)use MP to buy something other than a 2D ticket
- If you cancel you can't rejoin within 9 months
*though it remains to be seen how they plan on enforcing this
See the reddit thread here:

Walk out of a movie? wat?
New ToS has a proviso saying you have to watch a movie bought with MP in its entirety. If you violate this more than once a month they can terminate your account
This is a bluff because there is no way they can enforce this

yea, GTFO of here with that, lol.
They allow you to watch a movie more than once
Before the price change the app would automatically grey out movies you had already seen.
The restriction was lifted but it looks like they forgot to update this section of the ToS
This is an odd provision that I think is more designed to preserve the integrity of whatever data they're trying to hawk, and prevent abuse by promotion companies that might use MoviePass accounts to try and bolster ticket sales for certain movies (i.e. buy a ticket, and not attend).
I can't imagine that regular walk outs or no-shows by normal cardholders are a real issue.
I think it's more aimed at preventing people from buying tickets for reward points, sitting through 5 minutes of the movie and claiming they are still within the ToS because they "saw" it
Ahh, that would make sense too. I forgot how intense some folks are with the reward point hustle.

I bet soon you'll need to "check out" of a theater

Theaters also not gonna appreciate bunch of seats at reserved showings being bought up and no one taking those seats. Taking seats of paying customers who will actually go and possibly buy concessions
I could swear I posted in this topic....
Anyway, I think I'm going to sign-up for this. I think I saw 3 movies in the last month ("It," "Blade Runner" and "Happy Death Day"), and I would GLADLY have paid just $10 to see all 3. Plus, I really enjoy going to the movies and if I have to limit myself to just 4 or 3 movies a month (just on the weekends), that's more than worth it for me.
EDIT:
I honestly don't see any drawbacks for me personally. I came across this page that lists the pros and the cons, and most of the drawbacks are irrelevant for me:
No 3D or Imax. I don't care for either; I've only seen two 3D movies in my life ("Transformers 2" and "Jackass", lol)
Must buy onsite. Don't care
No premium theaters like the ArcLight or Landmark. I've never been to a premium theater.
Solo ticket buyers only. Fine with me.
The app can be buggy. Well, hopefully it isn't too bad. But if this is the only thing I should be concerned about, I'm sitting pretty.

Yeah. If you just want to see the movie without some of the fluff theatre stuff it is actually a great deal. I uae it about 1 time a week and so i have already gotten my money's worth.
This is a deal breaker for me but only because of location. I check the theater locator on the website every month or so to see if they've added Landmark as its my only local theater. I don't get what makes it so premium. Prices are the same and the only difference is the screens are smaller. They rarely even host esoteric indie stuff.
