An article was just posted on HN titled “Why does your company deserve more money?” What could their answer possibly be?

Most people only care about the widely released movies. AMC has the $19.99 Stubs A Plus plan where you can see up to three movies a week, any format, you don’t have to jump through hoops, and you can buy in advance. I’m sure the other chains are going to follow suite.

From what I have read, AMC is accounting for each movie that you see as a ticket being sold at $8.99 and they give the movie studio 45-65% of the “ticket price”. They also have 65% profit margins on concessions. AMC can do it profitable. Movie Pass, can’t.
