MoviePass Continues To Get Worse, Only Makes Two Movies Available At A Time
Another weekend has arrived, creating another opportunity forMoviePassto disappoint their customers.
The New York Postconfirmed MoviePass has quietly rolled out a new plan to keep users from spending their money so quickly. Customers trying to check in to movies for theaters that don’t offer e-ticketing options found themselves forced to choose between only two movies. In most cases, customers could only check into either the critically panned new horror releaseSlender Manor the action sequelMission: Impossible – Fallout, now in its third weekend of release. Others were givenThe Spy Who Dumped MealongsideSlender Maninstead.
MoviePass CEO Mitch Lowe toldThe New York Post, “Unfortunately, in order to stay financially stable we’ve had to curtail the service. We had to right the ship as far as the amount of money we were burning. This has been a challenging time for us and our customers. We’re just trying to save our service to be able to be available long term.” He added that the two movies available could change with each day. So it’s a shitty surprise as to whether you’ll be able to use your MoviePass when you’re ready to head to the movies. But even if you find your movie available, it might not be at a time convenient for you.
This weekend it was also noted that the showtimes available for purcahse through MoviePass, at least at the AMC Empire 25 in Times Square, weren’t all that convenient for a night out at the movies. The only two showtimes that could be purchased were 2:30pm and 10:45pm. Again, e-ticketing theaters did not have a limited selection of movies or showtimes, but there are significantly less theaters offering e-ticketing through MoviePass, screwing over many moviegoes this weekend and leaving new releases likeThe MegandBlacKkKlansmanout in the wind.
Stay tuned to see what new fresh hell MoviePass puts their customers through next time.
