<\/a><\/a>\nUnder the agreement, ICA member theatres will have the opportunity to utilize the MoviePass platform through the ICA Marketplace as a turnkey subscription solution without the need for significant internal investment in technology, payment infrastructure, customer management systems, or ongoing operational support. MoviePass members will receive best pricing in the MoviePass app through reduced credit requirements and special concession offerings at participating ICA theatres.<\/p>
\n\u201cThis collaboration reflects ICA\u2019s continued commitment to identifying practical, scalable opportunities that can help independent exhibitors compete, grow attendance, and strengthen customer loyalty,\u201d said ICA Executive Director Frank Rash. \u201cFor many independent theatres, building a proprietary subscription platform simply is not financially realistic. Through the ICA Marketplace, MoviePass provides ICA members a ready-made solution that allows exhibitors to participate in the subscription trend while maintaining operational simplicity and pricing discipline.\u201d<\/p>
\n\u201cAt a time when audiences are rediscovering the power of shared experiences, independent theaters remain some of the most important cultural spaces in our communities,\u201d said Gretchen McCourt, Chief Operating Officer of MoviePass. \u201cThey champion new voices, bring people together, and keep movie culture alive in ways that can\u2019t be replicated at home. Through our collaboration with ICA, we\u2019re proud to help exhibitors reach new audiences, bringing more moviegoers to independent theaters nationwide.\u201d<\/p>
\nThrough collaborations like this, ICA continues to focus on helping independent exhibitors strengthen attendance, deepen customer loyalty, and sustain the local theatres that serve as important cultural and community anchors.<\/p>
\nBoth organizations will continue to explore additional opportunities to expand the scope and impact of the relationship to further support and empower independent exhibitors across North America.<\/b><\/p>
