Moviepass coming back. Don't know if it will be as good as it was before.

Got an email>>

We are so excited to announce that we are beginning our launch sequence to bring MoviePass back. For those of you who don't know MoviePass was sold back in 2017 to a private equity group and due to mismanagement subsequently closed its doors. Last year I, one of the original Founders, bought the company back with the plan to relaunch it. Time Magazine did a great piece that does a wonderful job of explaining the sequence of events that lead to this point.

Being on the waitlist will be the only way to be able to sign up for the service in the foreseeable future. This Thursday, August 25, 2022 we will open the waitlist at 9a ET at MoviePass.com There is no cost to join the waitlist. Space will be limited and on a first come first serve basis. The engagement from the waitlist will help us to determine which markets we will open first and thereafter.
Each person who joins the waitlist will receive 10 friend invites that will activate when they sign up for the service. If you do not make it on the waitlist the only way you will be able to join in the future is to receive an invite from someone.
We are very excited to get back up and running and look forward to seeing you all at the movies soon.

What will the price of the new service be?

- There will be 3 pricing tiers. Prices will vary depending on each market but the general prices will be $10, $20, $30. Each level will get a certain amount of credits to be able to use towards movies each month. More details to come.

Makes sense… Worlds second largest Cinema company about to call in the bankruptcy advisors. Worlds largest cinema company had to beg people to buy shares otherwise they would go bankrupt.

Going to the movies is no longer the fun enjoyable experience it once was, now with $8 popcorn and $7 sodas, people talking during the movie or constantly using their phones during the screening…

Thanks but no thanks.

And the largest has found a large group of highly regarded primates to temporarily prop it up...but those days are numbered and it's really just a matter of time before the CEO abandons them with his golden parachute and everyone watches the company go down in flames.

Blame it or downvote it as much you want, but you cannot deny that it was one of the best money saver for movie goers while it lasted.

Just waiting to see if this new version is going to be as lucrative.

Yes, me too. That was the phase when i saw too many movies.


I think those who didn't know how to use it in past are the ones downvoting it. Anyway, let's see what the new model is going to be.

I once used it after a red-eye flight to take a 2-hour nap in a reclining leather chair with amazing air conditioning. I was the only person in the theater, enjoyed my nap, then proceeded on my route to my work meeting on time and refreshed. Thanks, MoviePass.

Oh man, I remember seeing like 4 movies a week for couple weeks straight until I've literally watched every movie at the theater. And getting reward points on top then using those on drink and food, it was like living a king.

Not familiar with Moviepass. So is this for any theaters, any movie, any time or tie to specific theaters & time? Also, do you pay monthly or for a whole year?

Wonder what the price/movie limit is going to be this time around.
Highly doubt we'll see $9.99 a month for 1 movie per day again.

edit: FAQs say three pricing tiers of $10, $20, and $30.
