Honestly that's why we joined Cinemarks club. You get a ticket a month, plus another one for $1.99, and then as many more as you like for $9.99. with no fees. And you get discounts on snacks and drinks.
As a plex user with the whole -arr stack, I mirror your sentiment. Though I can’t help but also think that a subscription service like this that actually promotes you to get out of your house and go somewhere exists in a different category.
Like yeah, it’s not another FuckYou+. The process of getting your loved ones together (or soloing it) and going somewhere, sneaking snacks in and viewing a movie in a better set up than you have at home could be worth it. Especially if tickets are somewhat reasonable.
For me personally, I don’t think there are enough new features that I care for but I can see how many may enjoy it
