Movie theaters barely make profit selling tickets, they make most of their revenue selling their over priced concessions. The only one here actually losing is probably Moviepass themselves because something like this doesn't seem very smart. They really need to have a huge userbase for something like this to be sustainable.

I think the idea is take losses now to build up a huge subscriber base and eventually develop a monopoly to then force theater chains to accept less from MP. Either just a flat fee to the theater chains to have access to MP or get a fraction of the current cost per ticket. It's why AMC is opting out, they don't want Moviepass to ever grow to the point where they can force theater chains to capitulate.
