That's pretty fantastic. If you only knew my tally it would make your head spin. It will sound like the biggest bunch of crap, and yet every word of it would be true.

I had the same plan until Regal made all credits expire a year from when they're earned. Movie ticket redemption expire 90 days from when you buy them, so it looks like those with credits stocked away will have to come up with a plan to unload them. Personally been redeeming towards RPX and IMAX tickets on select films as there's not many things in the store I'm interested in, especially when many have extra shipping charges on top of the ~$9 flat rate amount.

Back on topic, but I'm surprised the AMC in Atlanta didn't get hit. $15.79 for non-matinee 2D tickets seemed pretty expensive, but it's possible there's not as much volume going through it compared to others.

Ouch, that's big market pricing right there. Had no idea it's gotten that expensive down there. Then again, I'm sure Atlanta isn't the same Atlanta since I was last there.

Just read this article about how MP is overstating how much revenue AMC receives from them.

MP pulling support for certain theaters is a shit move, especially because they did it without notifying their anybody, therefore wasting many of their customers time. I'm still gonna use it as much as I can, but it ain't like I'll stop going to the movies if they fold. I just paid over $80 for 4 tickets for Black Panther & plan on doing the same for Infinity War. I even paid $23 to see Den of Thieves. I love AMC Prime will always choose Prime over any auditorium even though the movie may be playing where MP is accepted. AMC will probably be in the same position they were in before MP reduced their subscription price & I'm pretty sure every chain is trying to create their own subscription service & has extra money for research thanks to MP.

Whatever the outcome is of all of this, I hope it benefits us, the customer, because what MP did Thursday certainly did not.

AMC Mercado 20 Santa Clara has always been an overpriced hell hole anyway, no love lost there, tho it is very strange that 6 theaters were singled out

LegacyCosts · 01-27-2018, 05:19 AM

River East in chicago is a theatre I use and now I can't. I don't drive so i have limited options and this theatre has a lot of indies. Its pretty shitty movie pass is trying to strong arm AMC like this while hurting their customers.

In fairness, AMC drew first blood when they were threatening to ban MP last Year.

New TOS Email from Movie Pass is being sent out.
These are the AMC theatres that are no longer being accepted:

AMC Century City 15, Los Angeles, CA
AMC Mercado 20, Santa Clara, CA
AMC Disney Springs 24, Lake Buena Vista, FL
AMC Loews Boston Common 19, Boston, MA
AMC River East 21, Chicago, IL
AMC Mission Valley 20, San Diego, CA
AMC Tysons Corner 16, McLean, VA
AMC Veterans 24, Tampa, FL
AMC Loews Alderwood Mall 16, Lynwood, WA

Luckily this doesn't affect me since I don't have any AMC's in my city, sorry to those it affects.

This reddit post shows the TOS changes, not really much other than different wording. And that they now allow month to month, three months, and full year subs. Wasn't aware of the 3 month option before.

Its seems to be affecting Orlando and Tampa which are the most tourist/high traffic cities in my state.

Does not affect me either.

How? It's only AMC theaters in highly populated areas.

ArrestedDevelopment · 01-27-2018, 06:47 AM

Both AMC and MP are gonna lose customers. If this isn't resolved soon, I'll end up cancelling my MP and just stick to ArcLight for all my future showings.

For now. But I see this as a warning shot. if other chains are willing to deal and AMC isnt, I can see them eventually removing all AMCs, which would suck for me because the only theaters within like an hour of me are all AMC

Holy shit they hit Tysons Corner! That was one of the top Amcs in the area. Had lots of good memories of theater hoping back in the day. Rarely go there these days since they went all reserved seating years ago.

ArrestedDevelopment · 01-27-2018, 02:14 PM

I hate AMC but **** MoviePass for using it's subscribers as leverage. Mitch Lowe is a scumbag.

I haven't been to Tysons yet. Was going there for the Titanic 3D in their Dolby Cinema screen but make it down. I heard their IMAX screen is the largest digital IMAX screen around.
All of the closest theaters are all Regals, so it won't be that much of an effect for me.
