MoviePass Announces Price Increase and New Restrictions[teaser]The subscription movie ticket service is implementing changes as it struggles to stay in business.[/teaser] MoviePass has announced plans to enact a price increase for its standard movie-per-day plan. The company will raise the monthly fee to $14.95 from the current $9.95 cost within the next 30 days. In addition, the service is also implementing new restrictions on tickets for wide-release films. The changes come amid reports of severe financial woes for the company, placing its future in doubt. "These changes are meant to protect the longevity of our company and prevent abuse of the service. While no one likes change, these are essential steps to continue providing the most attractive subscription service in the industry. Our community has shown an immense amount of enthusiasm over the past year, and we trust that they will continue to share our vision to reinvigorate the movie industry," said Mitch Lowe, MoviePass CEO. As part of the service's cost reduction plan, MoviePass will now limit ticket availability for Blockbuster films. The restriction will apply to first run movies opening on 1,000+ screens during their first two weeks of release. With that said, studios can opt to increase ticket allotments for specific films through special promotions with MoviePass. Meanwhile, the company will also continue to implement and refine its Peak Pricing program which charges an extra fee for select movies when certain showtimes are in demand. "Over the past year, we challenged an entrenched industry while maintaining the financially transparent records of a publicly traded company. We believe that the measures we began rolling out last week will immediately reduce cash burn by 60% and will continue to generate lower funding needs in the future," said Ted Farnsworth, Chairman and CEO of Helios. MoviePass allows subscribers to see one 2D movie per day. After signing up for the MoviePass Unlimited plan, users are sent a special MoviePass debit card. Customers can then select a theater and movie showtime from the MoviePass app. Once a user's smartphone GPS registers within 100 yards of the selected theater, subscribers can then check-in for the film they want to see. Credit is then transferred to the MoviePass debit card which can then be used to buy the ticket. Over 91% of theaters in the US currently work with MoviePass, but some chains have been attempting to limit their support, including AMC. On that note, AMC recently launched its own rival movie ticket subscription service dubbed AMC Stubs A-List. The platform allows users to see three movies in any format at any AMC theater per week for $20 a month. Sources: MoviePass via BusinessWirePosted Tue Jul 31, 2018 at 03:20 PM PDT by: -
Venom is Fully Unleashed in New Action-Packed Trailer[teaser]The Marvel comics villain tuned anti-hero is heading to theaters in October.[/teaser] Sony has released a second full trailer for Venom, offering fans an extended look at Tom Hardy wreaking havoc in full symbiote mode as the title character. The movie comes from director Ruben Fleischer and is set to premiere on October 5. One of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and badass characters comes to the big screen, starring Academy Award nominated actor Tom Hardy as the lethal protector Venom. This film is not yet rated by the Motion Picture Association of America. Check out the new trailer below! Venom stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom, Michelle Williams as Anne Weying, and Riz Ahmed as Dr. Carlton Drake. The film comes from a script written by Scott Rosenberg, Kelly Marcel, and Jeff Pinkner. The character of Venom originated as a villain in the Spider-Man comic books, and previously made his big screen debut in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 where he was played by actor Topher Grace. Though some rumors continue to hint otherwise, Sony has previously stated that this film will not be connected to Spider-Man: Homecoming or the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. With that said, the studio does plan to use the movie to help kick off its own series of motion pictures based on supporting characters from the Spider-Man franchise, including Black Cat and Silver Sable. In addition, Sony is also set to release a new animated Spider-Man movie titled Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse on December 14, 2018. The CG film features the Miles Morales version of the character and comes from a script written by Phil Lord (The Lego Movie). Source: Sony (YouTube)Posted Tue Jul 31, 2018 at 12:50 PM PDT by: -

Soundbar Showdown: Sony HT-Z9F Vs. LG SK10YWhen I decided to turn an unused playroom into an intimate home theater, I transferred much of my existing A/V equipment into the new area. But I left my 65” OLED 3D-capable TV where it was. I wanted to maintain the ability to watch 4K UHD and 3D Blu-ray discs on that television, and I wanted high-quality sound as well. What I didn’t want was a cluster of bulky speakers cluttering the room and a tangle of cables behind the TV. I envisioned this setup as sleek and streamlined, and believed a high-quality, high-def Dolby Atmos soundbar with unobtrusive wireless rear speakers would be the perfect solution. Yet finding the perfect soundbar wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. After doing a fair bit of research, I ordered both Sony’s HT-Z9F and LG’s SK10Y systems along with their respective wireless rear speakers. Both sit on the high-end of the price spectrum, with the Z9F currently selling for $798 (reduced from $899) and the LG selling for $999 (reduced from $1,099). (Sony’s rear speakers, which retail for $299, are more expensive than LG’s, which list for $179.) I reviewed both systems for HDD. For my full, in-depth analysis of the Sony HT-Z9F, click here. For my full, in-depth take on the LG SK10Y, click here. Which system is better? I pitted them against each other and put them through rigorous testing over a two-week period. Here’s what I found... BOTH THE SONY HT-Z9F & LG SK10Y - support Dolby Atmos soundtracks - come equipped with a wireless subwoofer and remote - pump out more than sufficient power - flaunt a sleek, low-profile design - provide full 4K pass-through - allow Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity - feature built-in Chromecast - contain 2 HDMI inputs, one HDMI out (ARC compatible), one optical input, and one Ethernet input - offer multiple soundscape options - can work with Google Assistant - have subpar sync adjustment tools WHERE THE SONY HT-Z9F HAS THE EDGE - warmer, richer, fuller sound - both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support - superior wireless rear speakers - Vertical Surround option expands the soundscape - excellent voice adjustment tool brings dialogue to the foreground while maintaining a good balance with surround effects - compact styling makes it portable, if desired - on-screen display for movies and music - better remote - ability to turn off LED display, if desired - more pleasing music playback WHERE THE LG SK10Y HAS THE EDGE - dedicated upward-firing speakers to provide more authentic Dolby Atmos audio - coupled with the optional rear speakers, provides a 7.1.2 surround experience - more watts per channel - sleeker styling - better for large format TVs - offers a phone app to control the unit in addition to the remote WHERE THE SONY HT-Z9F FALLS SHORT - no upward-firing speakers - less distinct Dolby Atmos sound - no treble or bass adjustments for music - no phone app to control the unit WHERE THE LG SK10Y FALLS SHORT - no DTS:X support - despite firmware update, dialogue still gets drowned out by effects during high-tech action, sci-fi, and fantasy movies - volume maxes out at too low a level during Blu-ray and streaming movies - rear speakers must connect to a separate receiver via speaker wire, adding unsightly clutter and an extra component to the setup - Bluetooth music sounds harsh and sharp - no on-screen display - LED light only dims, does not go out, which could distract some viewers when watching content in a dark room - remote is too simple and doesn’t have quick access buttons BOTTOM LINE Both soundbar systems have their similarities and differences, attributes and faults. Neither one hits a home run, but after a deep dive, I chose the Sony HT-Z9F, which I found to have better all-around sound quality, a more streamlined setup, fewer components, and features that better suit my needs and satisfy my personal home theater preferences. The LG SK10Y has the chops to beat its Sony rival, but until the center channel/dialogue and maximum volume issues are fixed, it’s not really a worthy competitor. (I also found the inability to turn off the LED display on the LG to be another serious strike against it.) Multi-channel audio effects are a lot of fun, but as William Shakespeare once famously wrote, “the play’s the thing,” and if verbal exchanges are subjugated by explosions, gunfire, and swelling music, it’s tough to truly enjoy a movie. The Sony HT-Z9F may not provide the perfect Atmos experience, but it supplies high-quality, well-balanced, adjustable surround sound that complements any genre of film and is a fine substitute for a traditional receiver-based setup. In this head-to-head battle, the Sony HT-Z9F scores a decisive victory. Buy the Sony HT-Z9F from Amazon.com OR from BestBuy.com!
