I used my moviepass for the first time yesterday. Bought two via Costco, I got my card last week, my wife is still waiting. I wonder how the business case pencils out for the theaters and distribution companies.

It's been known for a while that AMC (america's largest movie chain, recently purchasing carmike cinemas down here in the south) - isn't happy with moviepass. Ironically, through googling around tonight moviepass is coming back and trying to negotiate through movie chains - attempting to get a percentage of ticket sales and concessions. If they don't play? moviepass pulls the theatre. They've pulled 10 of the largest AMC theatres - - many on reddit saying "to make a statement...." This could get fun to watch :) https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/26/moviepass-pulls-out-of-amcs-top-theaters-as-negotiations-fail/
