MoviePass Reveals Which Movies They’ve Boosted Ticket Sales For The Most
With that large of a consumer base, MoviePass hasn’t been shy about touting their influence on the movie-going public. In fact, they’ve just provided some general numbers for which movies they’ve sold the most tickets for since their revamp last year. It should come as no surprise thatBlack Panthercomes out on top with over 1 million tickets sold through MoviePass, but it appears the service has helped plenty of other movies sell tens of thousands of tickets.
MoviePass recently provided data toBusiness Insiderlaying out the 27 movies that have been the most successful with their users. Here’s how they’re broken down:
Over 200,000 tickets sold:
More than 300,000 tickets sold:
More than 400,000 tickets sold:
More than 500,000 tickets sold:
More than 750,000 tickets sold:
More than 1 million tickets sold:
Seeing the numbers for movies likeThe Greatest ShowmanandJumanji: Welcome to the Junglehelp explain how those movies remained so successful at the box office for an extended period of time. Though we obviously can’t place all the success on MoviePass, surely plenty more moviegoers went to see these movies because it wasn’t going to cost them a dime.
If we take the average ticket price of going to a moviein 2017 at $8.97, then the lower tier of movies that sold over 200,000 tickets earned at least $1.79 million from MoviePass tickets. And the numbers only get higher from there.
We’ll be waiting while before we see if MoviePass has the traction to stick around longer than a few years. Beyond the cost to maintain the service, they’ve stumbled with customer service (though they’re making attempts at improving it), and they’ve made missteps with their reportedly inactive tracking software within the MoviePass app that hassince been removed. Right now it seems the biggest enemy MoviePass has might be itself, so hopefully they don’t get in their own way.
