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.

One of the good things about moviepass is that I was able to go to smaller local theaters and see movies that weren't going to the big movie theaters. It'll be interesting to see what theaters accept this.

Now the big ones like AMC offer free refills on a large popcorn and large drink. But the price is still outrageous and I'm not going to eat 20 bags of popcorn and 10 large drinks.

How about charging more for tickets so EVERYONE pays into that, and that those that choose to buy snacks don't feel like they're being ripped off. Imagine being able to buy popcorn and a large drink for $6 -- how many MORE people would pay that instead of not buying at all?
The film distributor takes 90% of the opening weekend box office.
Raising ticket prices does not help the movie theater. Just don't buy snacks if you don't want to pay into the theater staying open.

It's going to be a credit card again (black this time). Why wouldn't they all take if they accept credit cards?

I am going to guess $10 will be 1 movie per week, $20 will be 2 movies per week and $30 will be 3 movies per week.

That sounds far too generous, everyone will go for the $10 option if it gives 4 movies a month. My bet is $10 will only be 2 movies a month.

Got the email too and we also loved moviepass in our family. I think it could have been viable if folks were not abusing of it. Some comments on this thread really show how some here ruined it for others to enjoy. It is not because you can do it that you should do it. You milked the cow. Glad it is back and I will be looking at their offerings as I am not sure what the $10, 20, 30 a month entails.

It was great until it wasn't. I drew the line at sending them a picture of myself holding my driver's license. They locked me out of my account so I couldn't use it. Disputed with Discover. They sided with Moviepass but credited my account $90. That was the day I switched to Amex and haven't used my discover since.

Honestly, since the pandemic, I have see. MCU movies, Jurassic World 3, and Maverick. I don't know if I have seen anything else. I have seen a number of movies via streaming or borrowed for free from the library. This would have been awesome ~20 years ago when my HS buddy and I saw more than a dozen movies over summer break 🙃

I do have a full Dolby Atmos/DTS:X set up in the basement so I am less motivated to see something aside from avoiding spoilers. No one talks, no phones go off, "concessions" are already paid for/"free", and I can pause during any bathroom breaks. Added bonus - my speaker set up is always geared towards my seat as opposed to in a movie theater where who knows where it was calibrated/a seat is available.

So maybe the 1000s of shares of HMNY might be worth something? Lol

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.

I saw at least 25 movies one month

Being that it was originally a movie a day, I doubt they would go to 2 movies a month, even at $10. AMC allows 3 movies a week for $24 a month.
