AMC Unveils Answer to MoviePass: $20 Subscription Plan
quote:
On Tuesday, the theater chain will begin offering guests the chance to see up to three movies per week for the monthly fee of $19.95. The offering is being run through its loyalty program AMC Stubs, and has been dubbed AMC Stubs A-List. In a clear dig towards MoviePass, a thorn in the exhibition business’ side because of its discounted ticketing, AMC calls its pricing “sustainable.”

AMC’s program offers some features that MoviePass has not matched. Namely, customers can see movies in premium formats such as IMAX, Dolby Cinema, and RealD.

If Cinemark can rise their subscription program to match this I’m sold.

It'll depend on what AMC's are like in your market.
The IMAX/Dolby/3D and the reserved seating are pluses for AMC.
The fact that you have unlimited movies and can use them at any theater are pluses for MoviePass.
If I was an IMAX guy who just wanted to see major releases, I could see switching to the AMC thing.

I don't understand why these theater chains have to have an "answer" to what Movie Pass is doing (I admit that I did not read the article, so if this is answered there, then, well, I'm sorry).
These theaters are getting paid for each ticket the same as they would if a patron was paying them directly, right? MoviePass is the entity that is taking the financial hit when someone decides to go to a movie. The theaters get paid regardless, and they are getting people in the venue to buy concessions.
Is my understanding wrong? It seems that AMC is only hurting themselves by offering this.

well this way you make that consumer exclusively an AMC customer.

The theaters see MoviePass as devaluing their product. They'e selling tickets for $10 to $15 and MoviePass lets you see their films for as low as $.32 (if you saw a movie every day for their monthly $9.95). It's an image thing for them.

Well it's physically impossible to see a movie everyday but your point still stands.

I have friends that got pretty close to it. That's when MoviePass made them VIP's and told them they had to pay $100 a month or lose the card.

My point was there aren't 30 movies out right now to see

How is it physically impossible?

That just means your friends were part of the problem behind eliminating the ability to repeat view movies.

MoviePass doesn't allow repeat viewings, and it's hard to find 30 different movies playing locally.

If you live in a big enough city that has theaters that show some of the more obscure indie movies, I don't believe it is "physically impossible" to see a different movie everyday. There are more than 700 movies put out each year in theaters.

The repeat movies option was only available for a short time after the drop to $9.95. Longtime MoviePass users have always had the "one viewing per film" stipulation in place.

This. Plus even Baton Rouge theaters will show foreign films (mostly Bollywood movies) and classics.

In San Diego its mostly the smaller theaters that play classics, foreign, and obscure indie films. All of the AMC chains here for the most part show the same mainstream stuff.

No thanks.
