Regal Cinemas Launches Unlimited Subscription Service

written by Ruben Jay

Its here – Regal Unlimited is here and plans to give MoviePass (RIP) and AMC Stubs A-List a run for their money. The new unlimited movie subscription plan was announced and launched last week. For as little as $18 a month, subscribers can watch unlimited movies at select Regals/Edwards Cinemas.

The major difference between AMC and Regal’s services is the amount of movies each service allows you to watch. AMC only allows you 3 movies a week while Regal will allow you to watch one movie a day (similar to MoviePass). Regal also offers 10% off concessions.

At $18 a month, Regal will allow users to see one movie a day at select Regals. At $23 a month, users can go to any Regal in the United States. With MoviePass seemingly shutting down for good, Regal is rolling this out at the best time. Regal has the momentum and possibility of taking MoviePass’ clients.

The race to gain America’s movie-goers business is on!

Spider-man far from great Marvel movie or great spider-man movie?

written by Nate Viramontes

So, I want to start this off by saying I adored this Spider-Man movie and I love Tom Holland as Spider-Man but something I’ve been feeling lately is that this version of Spider-man is actually very different from the comic book version we know love.

This Spider-Man to me is really a far cry from the one in the comics, Peter never seems to have money problem or even issue with getting web fluid or costume repair and to me, this is some of the best quality of Spider-Man. Those are the issue that we as fans can understand. I feel like seeing what Spider-Man struggles as a character is what makes him relatable to so many of us. In no way am I even saying the story told by the MCU is bad it to me is a very different Spider-man.

The thing that film kind of takes away is the personal feeling between Spider-Man and the people of New York. He always cares about so many individual people and this movie he deals with a city about to be destroyed as the film’s climax. I felt like the first film gave Peter a much more personal reason to be fighting the vulture. Mysterio is one of my favorite villains of all time and I think he was done so well in this story as well. It certainly gave him a great reason to be the villain he became while also staying true to some of his major plot points in the comics.

In no way is this a bad MCU movie because it has that great marvel movie vibe and tells an awesome adventure of Peter becoming the next iron man. Which is not at all a bad thing because Spider-Man represents to marvel the best Marvel has to offer. I feel like this movie isn’t the best Spider-man movie per se because it seems to take away a lot of the Key parts that make Spider-Man well Spider-Man. The other spider-man movies show his struggle with life and make him relatable in those normal ways.

This to me is an amazing version of a much different Spider-man one that has had the help of Iron Man since the very beginning of his story. But it had to be one the best Marvel movies so far because it shows us the next generation of heroes and shows what the world will be like without Iron Man and who will now take his place moving forward. To me even though this isn’t the exact same Spider-man we grew up with it is one that is still telling an incredible story it’s telling an MCU story.

MoviePass Suspends Operations In Preparation For A New App

written by Ruben Jay

MovePass needs to either be sold to a larger chain or just fold. It has very little value left at this point.

MoviePass, the once revolutionary subscription service app that once charged $10 a month for a ticket a day , is suspending its operations to prepare for a redesigned app. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the suspension of service is in effect as of 5am on July 5, 2019.

According to the report, MoviePass is in the process of redesigning their app that will help serve the subscribers. I find it interesting that they are announcing this as a 4 day weekend begins. Although, this is better than when in July of 2018, the company just stopped working.

CEO Mitch Lowe says “There’s never a good time to have to do this, But to complete the improved version of our app, one that we believe will provide a much better experience for our subscribers, it has to be done.”

A few days ago, a report broke out that Regal’s Cinema is working on releasing Regal Unlimited, their version of MoviePass, by the end of the month. AMC has had their AMC Stubs: A-List service for a year this August with 800,000+ subscribers. The competition for movie ticket subscriptions is growing and become more and more prominent.

MovePass needs to either be sold to a larger chain or just fold. It has very little value left at this point.

Commentary: MoviePass claims the suspension, or halt, is for a new app. I believe they are prepping for a sale, merge, or complete shutdown. This claim is being made without any information other than the fact that they continue to lose money and have not been able to rebound from a disastrous 2018.

Regal Cinema Planning Unlimited Ticket Service

written by Ruben Jay

Regal Cinema is planning to launch their own version of MoviePass or AMC Stubs: A-List where customers will be able to pay a monthly subscription for unlimited movie tickets, Deadline is reporting.

The service would be a spin-off of the parent company’s UK subscription plan, Cineworld Unlimited. Cineworld Unlimited pioneered the unlimited tickets for a monthly fee model long before MoviePass attempted (and failed) in the US. Regal Unlimited could be out as soon as the end of July.

According to Deadline, Regal is working on a tiered service that would run either, $18, $21, or $24 a month. Each tier would be based on locations, and not as much on ticket limitations. Traditionally, the lower tier would allow a limited amount of tickets as the higher tier would allow unlimited. Regal’s plan would be to allow you to see movies in any Regal in the US for $24 a month, but just select regals for $18, with a service fee to see films at a theatre out of your plan. Subscribers would also get a 10% discount on food with all tiers.

Regal has been taking its time to launch a service like this. AMC Stubs A-List launched about a year ago. Now, AMC has over 800,000 subscribers. AMC launched A-List as a direct response to the failed MoviePass experiment. MoviePass launched a $10 a month plan to watch up to 1 movie everyday. The service, while popular, was a financial disaster. Such a disaster that MoviePass lost over 50% of subscribers with the changes in price and offerings.

Marvel’s The Avengers E3 footage

written by Nate Viramontes

One of the major games that got announced at E3 this year at SquareEnix’s conference was Marvels the Avengers and it is shaping up to look like an insanely incredible game. The way the story is set up and the playable characters we have so far seen I’m really excited to see what we have next.

With this game, we have confirmed that Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, The Hulk, and Black Widow are all going to be playable at the beginning of the game and will be the core players in the campaign. However, Square did, in fact, say they will be adding more characters to their game to be able to play in the multiplayer.

What does the multiplayer in tell? We are not sure yet honestly the game wasn’t exactly forthcoming with its overall gameplay, showing us pretty much only a few different clips of the story and no gameplay. The way they brought up how the PS4 gets some exclusive content leads me to believe that this is in the same universe as the Marvels Spider-Man game as well.

The other big idea to that is that it is set in the west coast where Peter had said The Avengers are currently located as well during the Marvel’s Spider-Man. So, it’s safe to assume that will be Seeing that Spider-Man very soon or least have mention of him. Which means the Marvel Gaming universe could be on its way as well but that is an article for another day.

I also understand that not everyone is happy with their design but you have to understand this is still Alpha footage so there is a lot that will change and I am happy that Square is sticking to its guns and not changing that Design I think they look great and are paying respect to both the comics and the films.

Both of these versions are so important so it would make sense they look the way they do. I for one am excited to see Troy Baker and Nolan North do more voice work together I love both of them and if you have the time you should go check out their channel Retro Replay it’s a super fun channel to watch and they are both incredibly talented voice actors.

The whole cast looks super great and I’m excited to see the story Square is going to tale I think Insomniac built a ton of steam with Spider-Man and SquareEnix is going to continue that ball rolling and make an incredible game for all of us to play together or on our own. I’ll be back with more info as it comes up about this new Marvel game. In the mean time if you have a Switch be sure to play Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 The Black order when it releases next month.
