Just was wondering if anyone out there has this “movie pass” thing and how they like it. If so, how do you sign up. Thanks

Have it, LOVE it, use it often. Sign up at their website moviepass dot com. Easy Peasy.

Agree. Just got it this month and used it twice. No problem. I'll be curious to see how long they can stay in business. Seems too good to be true, but I enjoy it.

Should be around for a long time, it's run by Netflix.

We got it....can't get the app to work. Getting error messages. Have our card and they have had our $$ for several weeks But have not responded to our email messages. No customer service number. The phone number on the back of their credit card goes to a recorded message. If I were you, I would install app first and then join using the app (if you can get it to work). It doesn't work on an old Android Droid Bionic phone.

Delete the app from your phone and then reload it. That should solve the problem.

You may need to create a new password.

It is worth it. We see 3-5 movies a month and have friends who use it even more than we do. It’s a great deal!!

The theaters love it. They are selling lots more concessions!! And that’s where their profits come from. I thought i Movie Pass will be around for a long time!

Thank you for all your responses. I will try your suggestions. Off to the movies we go.....Hopefully! Thank you very much.

Thx Dotti (BTW she is the friend that alerted us to MP, and we are very active members).

- absolutely...reinstall MP app, it's easy (at least on my LG/android) MP has a new app that is expanded and easy to use.

- don't expect great/fast cust service from MP, they are inundated with new members. Seems as if they have improved their servers and processing, but systems can still be slow.

- I always ask the TV theater ticket agents about MP. Total share of MP-obtained tics is about 50% of total. TV theaters get on average .19 of the revenue for first week of many movies...% increases as showings continue. Not certain of the details, but the concessions $ are all theirs of course. The theaters (and distributors etc) get full tic price from MP.

- TV theaters charge full $9.00 to MP, even tho you show your TV ID card. They say TV has been approved by MP to charge full price (now sure if this jives, but...)

- Been members for almost 4 months and have seen 34 movies at our 3 TV theaters and AMC Leesburg. Total cost $9/month + a $8 admin fee for the annual plan which was a special when we joined. Hmm...no math major, but that equates to about 30 FREE movies. Before MP we may have seen 2 or so of the 'hits'. BTW new MP policy - you can see a movie more than once - still only one 2D movie per day.

- It's the deal of the century IMO - I pay it forward all the time to folks not in the know.

We use it often. Even with recent changes still a good deal if you are an average movie goer.

Mitch Lowe, the CEO of MoviePass, was formerly a member of the executive team for Netflix. Mitch was also once the president of Red Box.

I don't think that MoviePass is run by Netflix.
see article in the link below.

Netflix Interested in MoviePass? – Media Play News

"MoviePass, a startup that lets customers watch a movie a day at theaters for just $10 a month, is limiting new customers to just four movies a month."

Can us old customers still see 1 a day? New Rule, I think. You can't see the same movie twice.

Was forced to update MP app when going to theater today. Took a few minutes. Then a notice came up - can only see a particular movie ONCE. Fine - same policy as a couple months ago, before they switched that users can see a movie as often as you wish.

???? I'm OK with that - but policy switch <> back looks as if management is questionable. Hey let's face it - If we want to see a great movie again, get a ticket for one you haven't seen and starts about the same time. duh... But must have something to do with Studio push back or so. And I'm one of the users that needs to take a picture of my ticket before seeing another - supposedly to limit fraud or such. No problem here, takes a minute extra.

If MP does go under, theaters will take a hit for a while, until and if big theater chains develop their own deals. MP accounts for well over 1/2 the tickets at The Villages theaters. And I for one would certainly NOT go as often as I do if not for the MP deal. period.

And I was talking up MP many months ago - not anymore, in case Chapter 13 or such... You're on your own.

I have had a Movie Pass for 4 or 5 months. I love it. Very easy to use. I used it today and the only change I have seen is following the purchase of the ticket they ask you to take a picture of it. From what I understand since the money goes on a Visa Card people were purchasing a ticket on the app but spending the money on products or food and not going to the movie, so now you have to take a picture and send it. No big deal...took seconds.
