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.

Just waiting to see if this new version is going to be as lucrative.
That being said, their product was crappy and buggy - but not the kind of buggy that we're used to. It was buggy because they set it up that way. What others have said about driving to the theater only to find there were no tickets left...that's all true. It was criminal, but in a way it was fine. We all knew it was unsustainable and a bad business model. And I felt that missing a movie on occasion didn't matter when I'd made out like a bandit overall.
I currently pay Regal $18 a month and really enjoy what I get from it. I will see what Moviepass 2.0 looks like, but it would take a lot for me to ditch Regal Unlimited for them. Plus it'd be unthinkable to go from an app and system that works nearly flawlessly to something that may again be set up for frustration.
We do have Moviepass to thank for the current movie subscription models, though, whether you liked the company or not.
I was happy camper till the last few months when they started blacking out and running out of money by afternoon (and other horror stories i have heard) but luckily i never had a bad experience. Or maybe i existed at just the right time
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.

Unfortunately the theaters didn't see it that way. AMC was about to roll out their Alist when Moviepass preempted them. They hated moviepass and tried everything they could to block them.
You'll pay for the pass and never find a movie they will let you watch.
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.
