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.

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.
Agreed.. it's sign-up site is broken.. and somehow a tiered credit scheme is going to "RE-IMAGINE" the movie-going scene. It would be nice to see the tiers and projections now. I think they're trying to drum up "DEMAND" . So that AMC and others may come to the bargaining table for a rate table to MoviePass. If you have no interest (customers/clients) you have no leverage. Not sure AMC will bite, they make a lot on A-Listers (actually more on concession prices). Who knows AMC and others may want the foot traffic to get them to the concession stand. I was a MoviePass user back in the day and enjoyed the multiple theatre setup, not locked to a specific chain. But not always useful in some cities I traveled to. Really need to wait till the movies start pumping out again... lately there's not been much out there for me. My $.02

Moviepass is the only way I'd go back to a theater. I'm done paying $15/ticket to watch ads, sit on sticky floors, and next to annoying people,

This is 100% deliberate. Don't fall for this fake demand.

I was a former MoviePass customer and watched a ton of movies, but their business model simply WILL NOT WORK! Regal, AMC and other theaters have their own "moviepass" programs and they're still struggling to make profits. None of these theaters will make any kind of deals to sell their unsold seats to some fly-by-night company like Moviepass.

For those of you thinking about signing up, do not fall for it and pay year's worth of "free movies". You will get burned and I guarantee it.

If anyone is interested, here is a PowerShell script you can run. It will just run continuously and try every 5 seconds until successful. I used this today and was successfully registered after about attempt 15 or 20:

EDIT: UPDATE WITH YOUR EMAIL AND ZIP. REMOVE THE ***'S TOO

$registered = 0
$count = 1

while ($registered -eq 0)
{
try
{
Write-Output "Try $count"
$session = New-Object Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestSession
$session.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/104.0.5112.81 Safari/537.36 Edg/104.0.1293.54"

I got really good at ID'ing bicycles, traffic lights, and crosswalks. Must have passed the test and was allowed to join the waitlist.

Yes. The captcha just prevents you from hitting submit. This is the API call that is called AFTER you have completed the captcha.

This script is gold. Just hit try 300 on the script, along with me clicking on the submit button on my computer and phone for the last hour. This is crazy.
