I am new to the Movies Anywhere thing. I was happy to learn that I could watch movies purchased on Apple or Prime at Fandango because Fandango gives better performance IMHO.

Quickly I began to realize that you can get digital codes from discount brokers. I then immediately bought a metric shiteton of 4K movies.

I am late to the game so there are quite a few selections sold out. Also many selections are not available.

I thought I would come here see what the resident experts think about this whole process.

Right now my go to search site is https://ultravioletcinema.com/

Do you guys use any other sites or processes to find discount digital codes?

One other thing that’s pretty cool is how Fandango allows you to convert your DVDs to HDX for $5.

Movies anywhere is very convenient, but if you're only buying digital codes and not the physical media it could all disappear if the app goes away.

See that’s the thing, at least in my experience Apple, Prime, and Fandango all credit you with the purchase. The one caveat is that the studio has to allow it.

I have certain purchases that only work on their native source.

Like my Chinatown and The Big Short are only on Prime

My Vudu has too many to mention

MI Dead Reckoning is only on Youtube

The vast majority are cross platformed, though. Apple TV has the best picture output, FWIW.

Equipment may influence this discussion but I use the opening scenes of A Star is Born, Unbroken, War Craft and Blade Runner for sound and visual comparisons. With my equipment Fandango is better than Apple or Prime. This wasn’t always the case but Fandango has stepped up their game and they are much better than before.

ETA
Studios set the limitations on transferability. Chinatown, the Big Short and MI are all Paramount and it doesn’t participate in MA.

I’d also suggest following Fanflix. You can pick up series or movie bundles for good prices on their daily deals. They cover a bunch of the digital sites.

For example, yesterday they had the 5 Jack Ryan movies in 4k for $9 total after coupon redeemable on Fandango.

You can buy them off vudu when they do sales.

Other site would be gruv. That’s universal’s sight. They do deals on the 4k discs and on digital codes.

Movies Anywhere has a $5 section across multiple sites that I use pretty regularly. My main outlet is Vudu/Fandango though.

I think MA covers Fandango, Prime, Microsoft, Apple, and one other.
