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 might be in at the $10 tier if it would allow something like 4 movies a month, especially if you could go whenever and wherever you wanted, and could do say 3 in week 1, none in week 2, 1 in week 3, and none in week 4 (i.e. just so the total is not more than 4 a month).
Time will tell if it is worth doing, if it actually restarts at all...
We have regal and other subs now, no need to go with this weirdness, again
Fool me twice....

Also interesting that the T&Cs refer to their website as https://iwantmoviepass.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.
Maybe theatres should just put a giant tip jar in the lobby and price the popcorn and drinks reasonably.

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 studios take most of the ticket price. The big studios can do anything they want bud, like we have seen them release films on streaming at the same time as in a theater while the theater has brick and motar expense.
Knew about it but never joined previous Movie Pass. There just aren't enough movies I care about seeing in a theater. I'd rather watch most at home unless it's something really special.
