It amazes me that people would go to a movie @11PM.

On MP annual plan thru Jan '19. So, no monthly charge --- and per latest MP email, will be grandfathered with no new limitations until renewal.

My posting was that (apparently) a MP member may be able to "check in" to a later movie showing but still be able to get the ticket for an earlier showing that many be blacked out on the MP app. The 'charge' I mentioned in prior posting is that MP app 'charges/applies $$$' to your MP debit card in order to pay the theater box office when getting the ticket.

Why not? It's not a school night.

Still a good deal. Went last night and saw Spy that dumped me.
Previous deal was unsustainable but got a lot of people to see a lot of movies.
So the theaters, the viewers and the movie producers won big time. Only loser was MoviePass.
Basically you get 2 free movies a month.
Hmm. Easy math saves you $20.00 a month per person.
Almost a $500.00 annual savings for 2.

Actually it is more amazing that people get up at 5:00a to start their day.

Take it one step further. MP gives you a $5 discount on more movies once you pass 3/month. So, if you go Fri and Sat night at 11pm for $6 the yearly costs for 1 would be $104+$120 and you would see 104 + 36 = 140 movies for $144. 240/140 = less then $2 movie Unless I'm wrong.

I just canceled our account, had to pay twice MoviePass was down! It’s a joke saying you need to take pictures of your stubs or they charge your credit card for the tickets.

Strange. I haven't yet been asked to submit any stub photos. Latest was a couple days ago. How often do you use MP? Reading online it seems to be a "random selection based on factors of their choosing." Do you go very often?

Moviepass is in big trouble. The model they thought would work, just hasn't and they are taking huge losses. Don't expect them to be around much longer, enjoy it now.
