MoviePass competitor Sinemia introduces weekday-only plan

As movie-ticket subscription service MoviePass continues to
stumble, its competitor Sinemia has announced a new
cheaper plan for customers who don’t mind only going to the
films on weekdays.

On Tuesday, Sinemia introduced a “weekday-only” plan for Monday
through Thursday to encourage “attendance on days where
most movie theaters have many empty seats” at a lower price than
its other plans.

The discounted weekday plans are:

• $3.99 per month (instead of $4.99 standard price) – One
  ticket to any movie per month.
• $8.99 per month (instead of $10.99 standard price) –
  Three tickets to any movie per month.
• $9.99 per month (instead of $12.99 standard price)- Two
  tickets to any movie per month including 3D, 4D and IMAX
  formats.
• $14.99 per month (instead of $17.99 standard price) –
  Three tickets to any movie per month including 3D, 4D, IMAX
  formats.
• $23.99 per month (instead of $29.99 standard price) – One
  ticket to any movie per day (aka unlimited) 2D movie
  tickets

MoviePass has been struggling to sustain itself. Months
after it began transitioning users to a new 3-films-a-month
plan, it’s still limiting films and showtimes that subscribers
can see, and its parent company, Helios and Matheson Analytics,
recently postponed a critical
shareholders vote on another reverse-stock split.

Meanwhile, Sinemia has emerged as an alternative to
MoviePass for moviegoers who don’t want to be limited in the
films they can see (like MoviePass), or to a particular theater
chain (like with AMC Stubs A-List).
