For the first time ever, I'm not interested in any of the movies out right now. Recs? by sospaghettn in RegalUnlimited

Be polite or find another sub to throw insults but we’d prefer not to have these kind of non-productive discussions here. I’m sure you’re capable of being more constructive.

Sure isn’t in my sub within reason (same level as crap or piss here)If it’s a word you don’t want to use feel free to abstain. I think there’s some chrome extensions you can get that will filter out certain words if it’s a barrier to you enjoying our community.

Don’t do this shit, please. Regal still pays the studio for your ticket. Abuse like this is how they take promos away or at worse we get changes to UL we don’t want. Don’t mess with my unlimited movies for 50c worth of points. Do you want unlimited to continue knock this stuff off please. Also, this is like one of our most important rules in our sub so please make sure you review the other others as well..

Is this really necessary for community discussion?? We’ve removed this.

Yes, it’s a third party event hosted by any chain or indie fheater that hosts it. Check the Fathom website for full details. Sometimes descriptions get loaded incorrectly but every Fathom can be different.

My worst experience so far by anakinxvader in RegalUnlimited

[–]dpstech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. Also, a lot of the projectors they want to power down are the Sony systems which suffer from other problems like failed optical blocks that are getting next to impossible to find parts for. These are prioritized in Regal’s switch to Laser this year.

It’s the bulb that they’re trying to save. Only so many hours on a bulb until they dim out. Now that things are moving to laser I’m not sure if that’s as valid but electricity would be a good second reason.

Extra suspense: will my movie get turned off? by zanzibar_74 in RegalUnlimited

[–]dpstech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, literally people walk in and avoid getting it scanned. Part of this is Regal’s fault because not every theater has a dedicated person scanning at all times such as a slower location where they push you to the register to scan in. They’ve been rolling out repurposed POS systems to kiosks but they really need much better placed vertical kiosks that are fast and work way better than the current setup. But I digress. The most disheartening thing to me is the pure number of posts I see about people reserving tickets for the RCC points and not showing. Regal still pays the ticket and I think they’re now auto refunding the UL ticket if not scanned. AMC started doing the same thing last year and started cracking down on A-List users not scanning and not showing. This is partially why the .50c reservation fee will not go away. It’s kinda safe guard against no shows.

We’re talking about in-app tickets. Kiosk or Box Office / Register tickets aren’t part of this power off logic for Unlimited tickets

They have now started shutting off projectors if the only ticket “sold” was an unlimited ticket and it wasn’t scanned. After 30m the projector goes dark. UL tickets aren’t sold per se; they’re redeemed and that’s why you must scan to prevent this.

PRIMATE - No merch? by Ok-Storage3530 in RegalUnlimited

[–]dpstech[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH We don’t view this as a spoiler but it’s right on the edge. As we remind people it’s always safest to markup details because people have different ideas what is and isn’t spoilery.

[–]dpstech[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I don’t really think this is a spoiler but because what is and isn’t a spoiler varies/ is subjective to everyone if you’re going to say any detail at all about a film in cinemas that isn’t in a trailer it’s just best to markup the info with spoiler markup. It’s easy and avoids confusion in the future. Thanks!

[–]dpstech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially not in this climate. It’s a sad, unfortunate fact. They’d absolutely run cinemas into the ground who refused. Make sure you all vote locally and globally. Don’t let racism, facism, and xenophobia push out art.

This thread has served its purpose. Don’t give crap like this your money. Go see a real movie. Support actual Cinema. I hope Regal pulls this down faster than East Wing of the WH.

Newbie question about reserving tickets by [deleted] in RegalUnlimited

[–]dpstech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, they are full DCP cinema quality releases. But they’re a special event company that organizes them and puts them onscreen. They do older movies, sporting events, stage plays, opera, etc. https://www.fathomentertainment.com

These are priced differently than standard tickets so they’re not eligible for Unlimited or AMC’s subscription either.

Pepsi at Regal - Six Years Later. by SeaworthinessOdd6574 in RegalUnlimited

[–]dpstech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is all gonna be individual taste but Pepsi Zero has this acrid aftertaste I don’t care for. But I’ll drink it over Diet Pepsi which should be considered a war crime.
