First I've heard of this service....looks like a deal to me!
The concessions aren't part of the subscription. So those prices are simply the prices that everyone pays at the theater. The MoviePass membership gets you in the door, and then you go buy concessions like everyone else.
I suppose that if theater owners want to try to gain back what they have "partnered" with MoviePass, they could increase concession prices - but that could be problematic for the non-MP members . . . or they could somehow have a way to have MP members buy concessions under separate pricing.
CineMark Movie Club also waives the online fees, so if you are into convenience buying online and reserving your seats, you also save $ in that department.
AMC Stubs members get this perk, as well.

In the New Orleans area, any movie-pass system that excludes AMC is kind of dead in the water. There are some non-AMC theaters, but AMC has this market pretty well dominated.
MoviePass on Friday will lower its monthly price from $9.95 to $7.95, in the company’s first bundled package that will include a subscription to streaming service Fandor.
The $7.95 offer, available only to new customers, includes a $19.95 activation fee and one-year access to Fandor, which offers about 5,000 titles.
MoviePass became the fastest growing paid subscription company in tech history, according to Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc Chairman and CEO Ted Farnsworth, with over two million subscribers in six months.
Farnsworth told Benzinga he expects the latest announcement to push the company to 3-5 million subscribers, which will ultimately have big implications on the box office. The service currently has about 2 million subscribers.
"The big misconception with our model [is that] everybody always assumed it was about making money on the subscription," Farnsworth said Thursday in an interview. "That was never the focus. The focus was on data.
"We're a data company. We are the only company that can actually tell [someone] went to the movie," he said.
The company is also eyeing a share of concession sales, saying moviegoers are more willing to buy popcorn and soda when scoring a "free" movie.
So, yes, they want a share of the concessions..

I've had MP since last September and it's been wonderful. I find myself going to theaters way more often. Very happy with their service.
