The MoviePass subscription service was started by early Netflix executive Mitch Lowe in an effort to pull people from streaming movies at home and get them back into the movie theater to experience the movies the way that they were intended to be experienced.
While the new subscription from MoviePass has been popular among consumers, AMC Theaters has decided to threaten legal action, stating that MoviePass, “is not in the best interest of moviegoers, movie theaters, and movie studios.”
AMC released a press statement in hopes to show how MoviePass would be bad for business by highlighting MoviePass first.
MoviePass has announced a new subscription service that allows moviegoers to see a movie a day for $10 a month at any theater that accepts debit cards.
