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.

yup did exactly same !
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.
bt closest amc theater was ~ 10 miles from home.
w MP, went to a century theater ~ 3 miles away.
could envision the amc movie experience as turning into a "chore".
never got on board
lets see what MP 3.0 is like
That was the past and I went every other day loved it but this will be like limited to 3 or so
(IMAX tickets are like $18 here in the SF Bay Area).
But I guess this wouldn't be such a good deal in lower-cost-of-living places.

If that's the deal it's almost cheap enough for me to throw some money at it. I've been out to the movies exactly once in the past 5 years. And that one time, barely populated room had several boorish idiots getting audible texts on their phones, were screwing with Facebook, talking to each other in a normal voice, etc. If I ever go back in thinking of bringing a squirt gun for some enjoyable antics if that behavior continues. At least there will be some good entertainment to be had for the money I had paid to see the screen.
Don't forget one of the main big things MoviePass did the first time around is gather and sell location data on users - it was part of the business model. When the beta opens every needs to create an account and give their location so they can help MoviePass decide "which markets we will open first and thereafter." What will they do with that data even before they even provide any sort of service to anyone?
What do you think Slickdeals is doing? The product is never obvious until it is… when something is cheap or free (or too good to the true) - you are the product. Slickdeals is no exception
Are you enough of you surrounded by theaters that are actually fun places to go, that are clean, and staffed properly?
Or is it that seeing a movie on the big screen no matter how crap the movie or how crap the theater its just seeing on the big screen that counts?
In da butt!!!
.. did you just tune all the noise out? Ear plugs?
