S/condiments/concessions? Thanks for the take, that makes a lot of sense. Maybe movie pass will be bought / cloned by a theatre chain here.

If Regal bought moviepass and sent an email that everyone was now a "Regal Subscriber" for 9.99 a month I'd be completely happy.
Yes concessions, sorry, my non-native-English brain knew it was con-something.

    s/condiments/confections

Why buy them out though? Implementing a subscription on top of an existing service isn't that hard, is it?
The userbase would be worth something. Buying the moviepass user database gives whichever theatre chain first crack at converting a bunch of frequent customers before their competitors can.
