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.

Didn't want to start new thread but the old thread disappeared.

Moviepass waitlist is live. It may take 4-5 tries to sign up. Don't give up.

I joined the wave back in 2012 and saw a slew of movies before they shut everything down. Wasn't a bad experience back then and it looks like they have revamped a few things. There are monthly tiers now ($10-30) but if you're interested....here you go.

From the owner -

If you were a 2012 OG or caught the wave towards the end we look forward to welcoming you back.

We will begin relaunching the service beginning Labor Day - September 5th. But prior to that we are opening up our waitlist [moviepass.com] to be able to join.

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 [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.

Yea, been trying for a while. Not a good look for a company which went bankrupt when they can't even make a customer facing website to collect customers trying to give them money.

Actually it's good. That means there is lot of interest..

You don't need to refresh. Just submit again when you get error. Once a while captcha will expire and choose again. Worked for both my accounts within 10-15 mins..

Actually no it's not. Solving this problem is just a paying for capability/capacity problem. There's no way in Moviepass is so popular that they couldn't have paid to make this experience easy for people trying to buy the service.

There's at least 2 possibilities here.

1) Bad design / Not enough service capacity
2) Huge demand

The smart bet is on 1 more than 2.

Both of those go together. Where they don't have enough capacity to handle the demand
