CMV: Movie Pass Could Have Worked

I’ve seen a lot of comments about how movie pass was doomed to fail from the start because the economics never made sense. But I claim that the fundamental idea is sound, it just needed a couple tweaks.
The big issue with movie pass is that it paid face value for any ticket to the theaters. It’s true that this system doesn’t work. However, the key to fixing movie pass lies in recognizing that the marginal cost of filling an empty seat at many showings is near zero. So, two tweaks could have made movie pass work.
First, it needed to have blackouts for any showing that was expected to be near capacity (that is, any showing where the marginal cost of a seat is not zero).
Next, it needed to negotiate a much better price than face value with the theater chains. The theater chains should have a strong incentive to do this; movie pass would be filling showings that otherwise would get very low viewership with more people. The margin on concessions alone makes up for the minimal marginal cost (from janitorial services, etc) of that viewer.
The one worry is that movie pass would simply give a cheaper option to people who already go to lots of movies, but I think we have clear evidence that

As a black American, I'm ashamed of all the black parents who, during interrogations resulting from harm done to their k

It's just the most incredible thing! You spank with a belt, slipper, the hand, take off his pamper to do it; maybe the corner; sometimes you use withholding food! It's insane!
When the cop asks 'what kinds of things does he like' 'what does he do for fun' 'what toys does he like playing with? Etc., nothing.
What do you do with your child for fun? Do you feed him age-appropriate foods regularly--and also when he's hungry? What's his favorite color; shoe size FFS?
Do you read to him, engage him, take time out to bond with him, tell your asshole boyfriend 'don't touch my child?
I mean seriously! If we really don't know how to do better in the 21st century, WTF?
In order for black lives to matter, they have to matter to black people 'first! If that's too much, please don't have kids the world can step on just for existing who have to also suffer because you don't know how to love them and can't be bothered to learn!
