AlisLandale 11/27/17 6:06:40 PM #5:	I hear theaters make most of their money in concessions. When you basically see a movie for free (if you have this youre essentially paying change for each showing), people should be more willing to spend their money on overpriced popcorn and candy. I feel like theaters should be totally down with this, as it would encourage people to actually show up at the theater more. But idk. --- Currently Binging: Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex http://i.imgtc.com/YQId2Bz.png <cite>AlisLandale posted [p:891161830] in How is Mov...

Hexenherz 11/27/17 6:25:11 PM #18:	I mean, you have to use the card to get a ticket, which means the cinema companies can track which tickets were made with a MoviePass and which weren't. Based on that maybe they give a kickback to MoviePass?
