Has anyone be able to actually order a card via the app without the error notice appearing?
Nope. Can't even sign up on the site or the app.

Hmm. Might send help a message. It has been like the picture above all week. I can buy normal tickets no problem, but if I try to get a reserved seating, just that picture above.
Dang that sounds awesome! Maybe I will use this!any movie in theaters on the list on any single day works. so yes.
Kinda absurd here in ca. The ticket printed and it said $12. So they are already in the hole and i haven't even gotten my debit card.
They will lose money from people that would be going to the movies anyway, in hopes to get additional money from people that wouldn't be going to the movies otherwise.Kinda absurd here in ca.

Have you already gotten your card? How are people using it already?
The phone app shows no theaters in Miami. No matter what I do nothing shows up.

They seemed to have added a restrictions screen at the bottom of signup that now says
You can see one movie every day.
You can see each movie one time.
You can see only standard 2D screenings.
So no going to see Star Wars 8 I guess every day for a month... if the service is even running still then. I can definitely confirm with e-tickets you CANNOT buy a second ticket again for the same movie at a later date.
Re: "I don't see theaters around me", you won't until you get your moviepass card. You can see a list of theaters that should work here

STANDARD = need MoviePass card
SELECT_SEATING = you can use the app right away and get e-tickets
thx for the link

Which major studios? The only news Ive read was already covered here, how the AMC theater chain claims to be looking into how they can block it, but they havent threatened any lawsuits. And there really isnt any reasonable way a theater chain can block this, since its just a credit card, except by telling their ticket takers to not accept a credit card that says MoviePass on it (which unless they stop taking that brand of credit card completely, would be useless since you can just go to the kiosk).major studios are already contemplating no accepting the subscription or even suing movie pass.
Enjoy this while it lasts.
Edit: and it does not cover premium tickets (liemax/IMAX/luxury seating etc)

I will!
It covers Dolby Atmos and luxury seating here!
Actually blocking movie pass accounts would be pretty easy just block the range of acct numbers via software. AMC is the biggest chain regal is 2nd so if they block movie pass it would be pretty bad.

There seems to be confusion, even from them, on if you can see the same movie twice or not. I guess I will find out once I have my card.
Wait, so this will only work on theaters with reserved seating?

Shame, shame, shame.

"They don't understand our business model," Lowe told the trade. "Even active moviegoers had to think is $14.95 really worth it? At $9.95, even people who rarely go say I'd be crazy not to do that. We need to offset costs in Manhattan and L.A. by getting a lot of people in Kansas City and Omaha, and places where the average ticket price is five or six bucks to sign up."
As much as I hate to admit it, AMC is right that this model is unsustainable for MoviePass. It currently costs me $10.50 for a single 2D, no-frills, adult ticket. To offset this $1.55 loss, Moviepass needs a similar subscriber in the midwest who only sees one movie where the ticket is 8.45 or less. If I decide to see a movie every weekend, they have to hope that similar subscriber in the midwest does as well - or they will need MULTIPLE subscribers to subsidize my trips. And people crazy enough to see two or three movies a week, every week? There's almost NO chance they'll recoup the losses on those subscribers.
I can't even see them breaking even. I highly doubt anyone in this massive influx of new signups will sit on their subscription and not go to the movies in a given month. With the average movie ticket price being around $8.65, the only way they could possibly come close to breaking even is limiting people to one movie per month - and they'd still need massive adoption rates.
Reading the post-price slashing interviews with CEO Mitch Lowe, he admits the plan is to hope they get enough people signed up in "cheaper" areas where tickets are $7 or less to offset the losses they'll incur.

According to their website it doesn't cover any premium pricing so if they are making you pay for it movie pass won't cover it.
Still waiting for my card but I just wanted some clarification since the app isn't showing any showtimes of the movies and the theaters (though the posts above show that several theaters nearby should work with it) - do I have to "preorder" a ticket through the app or do I just show up to the theater with my card and it'll work on any movie I choose?
