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.

I mean this right here. The regal pass sucks apparently cause you have to pay to book tickets in advance but 3 movies a week for A List and I see literally everything in Dolby or imax. So we don't get free soda and popcorn, I just bring in whatever candy I want, I don't give a shit. If they stopped me I'd just stop going to the theater.
Just waiting to see if this new version is going to be as lucrative.
Do you not remember MoviePass? It was a total bs scam and people couldn't cancel it, and tons of movies were blocked.
Ted Farnsworth is one of the worst CEOs of all time.
Look what he did at BBIG.
Pass was great for about two months. Then the crazy rules started with uploading a photo of your ticket, etc.. Then the blackouts started. Nothing better than checking a movie option and seeing it is available, then driving nearly an hour to the theater to find out no, it actually is not. Then of course the sale and implosion of the company. I still have my worthless shares sitting in my account. Lost over $6000.

I remember abusing the shit out of movie pass. 3 or 4 movies a week. I think I saw avengers 5 times in theaters when it came out lol. Whenever they started to make you take a pic of the ticket and cutting it to only seeing a movie once, I just started to buy tickets to other worthless movies and then going to what I wanted
Edit: I did cancel immediately when they started blacking out show times and stuff because that was super inconvenient.. But for awhile it was INCREDIBLE
That guy only seems to get involved with shady business practices.
Last time was such a scam.
