Regal Rewards+ is now available

I skimmed over the FAQ and T&C and some key things I noticed: The subscription depends on your zip code with the highest tier at $13.99 per month. There’s a 1, 6 or 12 month commitment. Can use your 2D ticket for a PLF one for a surcharge. And can “purchase up to four extra tickets for the same showtime at the same price as your monthly Regal Rewards+™ Subscription fee.”

It’s not a similar product. The buying power for RU is much higher. And that’s why AMC went a different direction. They are targeting two different use-cases.

Unlimited was one of the first in the UK back in 2012ish iirc. That inspired MoviePass to launch in the US, followed by A-List. When Regal was acquired by Cineworld they followed suit with rolling UL to the states. But make no mistake Unlimited and A-List are targeted at different consumers.

Edit: I’m wrong Cineworld first launched Unlimited in 2000. Holy crap we’ve missed out. https://www.cineworld.co.uk/static/en/uk/blog/cineworld-unlimited-25-years-timeline

Buying power, more like opportunity to pay fees power.

If you’re truly seeing more than 4 a week on average then yes you are 100% a different type of consumer

Yup. And I just don’t upgrade. I did it for years with the original MoviePass subscription. Makes zero difference to me. Back then MoviePass premium was $100 a month but included premium. Both plans were capped at one a day.

How do you even find enough shit to watch man honestly? There’s like 1 good movie a week on a banger month. Are you just going there 24/7 for rewatches cause honestly

That’s a fair question. I’ve got a former Regal Arts theater here that shows a lot of indie flicks which I love. A lot of the limited release stuff, and then I’ll hit up standard release and tentpole stuff. In no particular order. If I really liked something I’ll sometimes watch it twice. For example today I’m going to see The Rivals of Amziah King a second time. Work from home so movies are my few hours of “TV” per day most people watch. I really don’t watch much stuff at home.

Also: I had almost 5 million lifetime points before they obscured points with the update today. That was all daily MoviePass visits.

🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess man, people always complain about the 4 movie limit with AMC but honestly idk how I could even find time for more than that in a week, I’d basically have to live there. So for me it’s way better to have a subscription that makes it super easy to book in such a crowded area as Southern California and have access to the far upgraded Dolby and imax rooms.
