MoviePass is Shooting Themselves in the Foot Again by Limiting the Selection Available to Customers
If you haven’t canceled your MoviePass subscription yet, I’m surprised. I’m now especially interested to hear what you think of the movie subscription service’s choice to limit what movies are available each day.
That’s right, MoviePass will have different movies available to users depending on the day. For example, on Friday, August 17, you can go see Christopher Robin or Mile 22 using the service. However, if you wait to go to the movies on Saturday, those two films are replaced with Alpha and Slender Man. Luckily, MoviePass does release the schedule for the following week so you can have some planning with friends and they do allow about 7 movies a day.
Unfortunately, a lot of the films that take up those slots are smaller indie films that don't always get wide releases. For example, Juliet, Naked is available every day, but none of my local theaters are showing it. Same with Skate Kitchen, Summer of 84, The Miseducation of Cameron Post, and We the Animals. All but 2 of the movies aren't available in my area and I imagine I'm not alone in this isolation.
Are you ok with this change, or is it the straw that broke your camel’s back?
