But what's the advantage to Cineplex to sell their tickets cheaper to a third party company when that company is already willing to buy that at full price? Even if they get 30% of movie goers to buy subscriptions (which is an insane number). Cineplex can still say no and those people wouldn't be able to use their subscription at 75% of movie theatres in Canada.

The marginal cost for getting people to the theater is basically nothing, and most theaters don't sell out most shows. It's convincing people to get off their couch and go that's the problem for theaters.

That's fair I guess. There's no skin off them to sell them in bulk.
It's not a business I'd invest in. You're living at the whim of a near monopoly who could change the bulk price and ruin your profit margins.
