Just watched the same film myself at Regal using the card. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope you did too.

I ordered mine on the same day. Seems we're in the same boat.

I really liked it. Doesn’t give you the happiest feeling leaving the theater, but it’s thoroughly entertaining.

Some of us signed up in the middle of August and no cigar.

there is no phone number to call, and if there was it wouldn't do any good. They are working through the orders and will get to yours eventually. It seems they rightfully finally went back to fill the earlier orders before continuing to fill later ones.

Just got my card today, better late than never! Gonna use it in a few hours to see American Made, and then Ninjago and Flatliners over the weekend.

Got mine today. It's in my hands right now. So happy it finally arrived.
Now, the question is what to see first with it.

Give me a list of 5 movies you haven't seen yet.

[Show spoiler]It'll still probably be IT.

American Assassin
American Made
IT

Most of everything else I did want to see are already out of theaters but will be on Blu-Ray within a few weeks. Annabelle: Creation will be out on Blu-Ray right before Halloween.

When did you sign up? So I know if I'm still getting boned.

At worst, they'll raise the price a little, which I have no problem with as long as the program works. Drafthouse has been getting a lot of them in and they love it because the money that would have been used for tickets can be used for food and drinks.

Don't be ridiculous. MoviePass loses money on every admission. At some point, they're going to run out of cash. They think that in the future, once theaters see how many people come to the movies that they'll subsidize it, but that's not going to happen.

See as many movies as you can now, because I doubt they'll be around in a year.

They've been around this long plus but even if they do, somebody will pick it up where they left off. We'll just see how things pan out.

My card went from "shipped" to "processing". The wait continues

No they won't because there's no business model to the service. If someone sees 4 movies a month, do you think the theaters will accept $2.50 per ticket? Not happening even if the theaters wanted to because the studios won't accept a share of something as low as $2.50. And even if they did, the service couldn't make any money because they'd be giving it all to the theaters.

It's just like all those early web customers who based their financial models on "lifetime value of the customer". They figured if they had a million customers, each of whom spent $200 a year x 30 years, they were worth $6 billion. Not.
