Movie Theater Subscription Services • Page 26

I suspect it’s to cover any theater ticket price increases that may happen without MP knowing. This way service isn’t interrupted for the MP user if they suddenly can’t buy a ticket.

 

Or Money Laundering

 

I'm pretty sure Regal only charged me five bucks for the Best Picture Festival showings because of Crown Club. I mean, I guess that's the opposite of an upcharge, but it doesn't surprise me that any excess on the MP is unloaded.

 

That would be wild.

 

Dear MoviePass Members, Partners and Employees:

While speaking at a conference in Los Angeles, through a mix of exuberance about our future and joking around, I mischaracterized how MoviePass locates our members and I need to fix that. It has raised a lot of concerns and I understand why.

First and foremost, I apologize for these comments and the concern they caused. At MoviePass, we take customer privacy extremely seriously. I would like to eliminate any misconceptions that we’re collecting location related data.

The MoviePass app currently uses standard location services capabilities on an opt-in basis. There are only two events that would prompt MoviePass to identify a member’s location. These include when a member requests to search for theaters nearby and when a member requests to check into a theater. Both events require both the app to be open and for the member to request the action.

MoviePass does not track and has never tracked or collected data on the location of our members at any point when the app is not active. In our recent update with Apple, we removed the the background tracking capabilities. MoviePass does not use and has never used this feature.

Our goal at MoviePass has always been to encourage people to see more movies as they were meant to be seen -- in the theater. We want to make our service available at a price anyone can afford and everyone can enjoy. While we do create partnerships with theaters and studios in which we offer statistical data on ticket use and other trends, we never share our members’ identities or personal information or personal data with anyone.

MoviePass takes its members’ privacy extremely seriously, and our current Terms of Use and Privacy Policy accurately state the ways in which we use data. If, in the future, MoviePass desires to expand how it uses data, we will amend our Privacy Policy and notify our members so that they will be afforded the opportunity to opt- in or opt- out of the MoviePass service. This is what our customers expect, what the law requires, and how we’ve always handled data. We want to assure everyone that we treat our members’ data with the utmost sensitivity. Your trust and enjoyment are the lifeblood of our service.

We understand that you may have further questions, so have included an additional FAQ page for your reference.


Warm Regards,

Mitch Lowe
CEO
MoviePass

 

Yeah I got that email as well. I don't know, I was never that concerned about his comments to begin with. I mean you should know what you're getting into when signing up for a service like this. Their entire model for making money is based on selling your data so if privacy is your #1 concern than moviepass probably isn't for you in the first place.

 

I checked into a movie last night and accidentally paid with my debit card. They're both red! :( any chance I'll get a refund?

Truthfully though, I'm more annoyed that the movie is missing from my history. I love the little movie posters showing me what I've watched.

 

There's not much chance anyone will ever respond if you try to reach them

 

Thankfully the one time I did this I realized imediately and got it refunded, I was mostly worried about checking into a movie and not udius movie pass within the window

 

I've been really bad with movies lately so I'm about to bust out five movies in six days.

I'm going Love, Simon today and tomorrow A Wrinkle In Time. Thursday I watch Gringo.

The weekend will have me watch Isle Of Dogs and Pacific Rim Uprising.

 

Love Simon was fantastic

I also really liked The Strangers

 

about to watch A Fantastic Woman alone in this theatre and I couldn't be happier!

 

Got my card in the mail on Friday and I’ve already seen 4 movies with it (Tomb Raider, Red Sparrow, Annihilation, and Thoroughbreds). I love this thing!

 

Yeah, the initial hype of being able to go to the movies daily has worn off a bit. I need to get back into it. It's been a couple of weeks since I've seen anything. Still have a handful to catch up on, and some stuff coming out soon that I'm looking forward to.

 

I just noticed MoviePass just charged me for another $10 yesterday when I just got charged on the 6th and now I am confused.

 

Salem Cinema? How was it??

 

The best theatre around! The movie was very good, but there were a few moments i could have done without. watching a trans woman force herself to pass as male to enter a shower room just to find her recently deceased lovers locker empty felt unnecessarily cruel

 

MoviePass Drops Monthly Price to $6.95 in Bid to Boost Subscribers

Okay, does this mean I'm an idiot if I don't sign up for this?

 

yes

 

man I feel like im getting ripped off paying $9.95 now lol. But still at my current price its a steal. Lots to see in next month or so. Ready Player One, Blockers, Overboard, Super Troopers 2, Rampage, Best F(R)iends, I Feel Pretty, Avengers

 

i guess i should probably get this now, it's less a month than it is for a matinee

 

although, i'm moving in a few months and the indie theater in philly doesn't do moviepass, and i'm rarely interested in the blockbusters

 

I’m messaging everyone I know now.

 

I really hope this isn't a last ditch effort to save the company. I bought some stock in HMNY (the company that owns MoviePass) and it's done nothing but go down down down. Which makes sense since I invested.

 

I mentioned a few weeks ago I wasn't sure when my MP would be up because my friend gifted me a quarterly pass. I finally was able to get my CC info in and it says my next bill is Dec 24, 2018?? How is that possible? I don't wanna show up at a theater and not be able to use it but I also have heard their customer service is impossible.
