The future of movie going will have to wait a bit longer into the future. Moviepass, the subscription based service to see unlimited movies for $10/month has run out of money and is barely afloat. As a result, those who have paid for the year are now limited to 3 movies a month, and not the first few week blockbusters. Heavy users were seeing 2.6 movies a month so they were not really the issue. It appears to be more as to what the theater chains were charging for the ticket.
The way it works is that you have a debit card, which you can use to buy a ticket 30 minutes before. So that charge gets passed back.
Our local chain Cinemark has a similar service but you pay $8.00 for a guest ticket and you get 1 movie a month free. But the best benefits are no online order charge and 20% off concessions. Plus there is a loyalty aspect.
And if you get your buddy to buy it and you're the guest, all the better!
