MoviePass just announced that it's rolling out its peak pricing starting today. The new policy will charge you extra if you plan on seeing a popular movie during a sought-after time slot. In the example given, MoviePass shows how it could charge $3.43 to see a movie like Avengers: Infinity War during a peak time -- and the company tells CNET peak pricing fees will range from $2 to $6 depending on the film.

MoviePass indicates which movies are affected by peak pricing by including a red lightning icon above the specific showtime. MoviePass will also warn that a movie may enter peak pricing with a gray lightning icon.

Unhappy about paying more? MoviePass says every subscriber will be able to waive one peak fee per month.

Movie pass seemed like a cool idea until I realized my local theater has $5 tickets every Tuesday so now I just go on Tuesday when I wanna see a movie. I'd have to see at least 3 movies a month to even make the subscription worth it which I almost never do. I'm sure I can't have the only theater that does stuff like that too

i wish i got into moviepass while it was good, although tbh this doesn't seem that offensive. i already hate seeing movies at peak times anyways. last time i saw a movie with a full theater there was a toddler making stupid baby noises and wearing FUCKING LIGHT-UP SHOES. i don't blame the kid at all, just the parents.

honestly being a moviepass subscriber right now is a abusive relationship

i need to know where you are, what movie you bought at what time, and i need you to take a photo of your ticket. also i can charge you extra if its a popular movie
