Default Sorry MoviePass users - New Limits announced

Looks like what was to good to true....is. MoviePass has announced that beginning August 15th, subscribers will only be able to see 3 movies Per month!

They are also suspended some of the other recent changes, like peak pricing and not letting you see new blockbusters for the first 2 weeks. Also announces was that the price would remain at $9.99 a month. Is it still worth that to you? Basically 3 movies a month for he price of one.

Another bad sign "The stock plunged from $39 last October to just 8 cents last month. The company approved a reverse split — a cosmetic change that boosted the stock 250-fold, back up to $21. Since then it's fallen all the way back to 7 cents."

Three for the price of one still seems like a pretty good deal. So, yes, I will likely keep it.

From what I read, if you have an annual pass you are good until it runs out with as many movies as you want at one a day.

According to their email, Movie Pass will still be restricting veiwings of new releases, as needed. Apparently, this will not apply to e ticket purchases, only the walk-up kind.

From the email, I got the impression that it's only a matter of time.

I had the monthly pass, cancelled it a couple days ago.

The hand writing is on the wall for this company.

A re-structure to hopefully keep the company solvent. 3 Movies per month and a $5.00 discount for the rest, $8.50 less $5.00=$3.50. Still don’t believe there is a better deal oit there for 3+ movies per month.

Obviously, you're one of them........lol

I was thinking, what about the people who are out late drinking at the bars......that would make for an interesting crowd at the theater.

Some very hot night nurses are up at that time.

They are working though.

back on topic... I'm a spoilsport.

Went to Rialto to see MamaMia II yesterday - got there at 11:15 for the 11:35 showing- onto MP app and ALL MM/Rialto showings gone except for the 4:45pm and later. $%#@!!

Told the group to book the 4:45pm, get ticket, and hopefully the usher will not check the time on the stub...

At window and told the lady Mama Mia please, gave her the MP debit card, she asked which time...and I said 'is the 11:35 available?'... She checked and said, all set gave the 11:35 tics. Rest of group, same. BTW MM was quite good and I thought actually better than the first MM.

So..... apparently even if you arrange a tic for a particular movie thru MP on the app, the MP debit card simply charges $$ onto the card and does not limit a purchase for an earlier showing that is not showing on the app... anyone else see that too?

This site will not allow this link. Googled and found this:

"Midnight Movie Madness: All seats for all shows beginning after 11:00pm is $6.00"

I'm sorry. I am not following--is your card being charged? Are you paying $10?
