because it was awesome?
The world is full of awesome movies. Cinema has existed for more than a century.

What you will understand someday in life is that as we grow older, we have less desire to explore new things, and prefer to revisit familiar things while we still can.
If I go twice in a month I can skip a month and not feel bad.
I don't buy concessions though, so theres no money to be made there.
Only being able to see a feature film once, not something I am entirely happy about because I'd have liked to see the new Avengers twice, but I can live with it. It does allow me to go to a movie I wouldn't usually see just because it's "free".

You must be very unfamiliar with modern movie audiences, especially comic book movie fans. Plenty of people see movies they're fans of multiple times after release.
It appears from comments below that you personally don't like watching the same movie over again. Other people, however, do. Your personal bias is skewing your ability to understand the situation.
What's actually going on is that the service customers have paid for is being reduced while the price hasn't changed, screwing the customers.

I've seen 3 movies in theaters in the past year - Star Wars, Greatest Showman, and Avengers. My wife, a Moviepass subscriber, has been to the movies some 60 times since December. She typically goes 30-40 times a year, it's one of her and her friends' favorite hobbies. You might go to coffee or the bar, I might go to the park or the gym, she and her friends love going to the movies. It's just a thing to do for a coupl…
> The problem is, it's super easy to do the math on whether or not you would have spent more on tickets than moviepass. This is the crux of the problem, I think. People who see one movie a month are not going to buy it. So they need to be profitable for high-usage customers. Unless they are getting incredible discounts... just not going to work. For it to make sense, there need to be some restrictions -- e.g., only S…
This seems much closer to simply comparing dollar costs of two different purchase alternatives.

I saw Black Panther three times in theaters with my MoviePass because, well, why not? The only theater near me only has 5 screens (I live in a small town), so my wife and I end up with some repeat viewings. That said, I love MoviePass but know it's not sustainable. I wish they had rolled out these changes earlier. Something like no repeat viewings, 8 movies per month, different price depending on where you live (tick…
I can't see the appeal of watching a movie I literally just watched.

Back when Titanic came out, some classmates of mine saw the movie 9 times in theaters. Abuse is likely a big factor but there are likely some honest actors in there too.
