MoviePass wanted $3 for every ticket and 20% of confessions revenue. AMC said, nope. MoviePass pulls the theaters where people see movies the most, hoping to hurt AMC's revenue.
MP is being INSANE here. Outrageous. 20% of concessions, which is how theaters make their money?! $3 per ticket?! Studios already get 60% of ticket sales in the US. So a $10 ticket... $6 goes to studios, $4 goes to theaters. And MoviePass wants $3 of that $4!!
confirmed power play
