How many different theater chains are around you? This isn't like streaming services where it may not make sense to have Streaming Pass A and Streaming Pass B if they primarily share content.

Quality ones here, 2. Total this-or-that proposition here as they have the same offerings.

Why I didn't do MoviePass (beyond the unsustainable nature of it and the seemingly cutthroat nature by which they try to get theaters to essentially profit share) but am really considering this is if: 1) it is painless. MoviePass appears to require a bit more effort than I'd like. 2) IMAX/3D/etc.

Around me there are 3 "major" multiplex cinemas as well as 2 smaller independent theaters. Having moviepass is helpful in this case. While the major ones have some overlapping content each of them also seem to have some unique movies that only they show.

On top of this I get the benefit of being able to see a movie when traveling. Granted this may not be on everyone's list of things to do when traveling. For me going to see a movie with family a few hours away and doing something before/after is something nice to do. This doesn't work well if the theater branded movie subscription doesn't have a theater in the location you are going to. However with moviepass it is never an issue for me.
