Would you pay $35/month for a pass to unlimited theater movies?

Theaters in Boston and Denver are trying it out. $45/month to include 3D films too.

quote:

BOSTON (CBS) — A Netflix-like deal is coming to some movie theaters in Boston: Pay a single monthly fee and go to the movies every day without having to buy a ticket.

It’s called MoviePass, and it will launch early next year at AMC theaters in Boston and Denver only. It’s the first time a movie theater chain has offered a premium subscription service, AMC and MoviePass say.

For $45 per month, theatergoers can see one movie per day, including 3D and “AMC ETX” movies. A standard subscription limited to 2D movies costs $35 monthly.

AMC and MoviePass said they are adjusting to a new reality where many, especially young people, are used to paying for entertainment via subscriptions like Netflix and Hulu.

In the summer time.. maybe? But there are never enough good movies worth seeing for $35-45/month.

$45 or $35 a year maybe. I don't go the the theaters more than 4 times a month. I don't even make it to the theater every month. I don't think there are that many movies worth going out to see in theater coming out every month. This seems like a very niche deal.

I remember going to the movies 3-4x a weekend while in HS. We basically would see every movie, no matter how bad it was

so I (read: my parents) would have loved this deal

$45/month is too high.

I can watch hours and hours of Netflix without leaving my couch or while doing other stuff and that costs $17 a month.


I might pay $45 for a pair of unlimited tickets, but not one.

Average cost of a movie ticket is $8.38. Don't think there are 5 movies per month that I would want to see. I'm pretty sure I would see everything though if I had the option to. Why the hell not?

paying that per month is so dumb. Way too high. They will get people that only do 1 month and watch 10 movies. if they did like 14 bucks a month more people would go. I think more would justify paying a little less than 2 movies per month. Not 5 movies a month

No.

I might go to the movies 6 times a year. Just to accomplish that takes a lot as well.

I think it could turn out to be a great deal if they change it up a little. I don't want to go to a theater enough times per month to make it worth $35/mo. If it was more like $20/mo and instead of 'unlimited' free movies they gave me say.. 3-4 movies a month with a free popcorn and drink, i'd be all about it.

If it included all the popcorn/snacks/drinks you wanted, then the deal would be legit.
