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.

"Error joining the waitlist"
At least the reCaptcha timeout is working.
Got the welcome email, so I'm in.
You're all relieved, no doubt. Lol.

I want to thank everyone for their support in helping us get here. So many of you have called, emailed and even stopped me on the street to show that you still had your original MoviePass card and talk about how much you loved the service. So 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 to be able to join.

Things are going to be different this time around so we don't know. From what I've read we will get "credits" and there will be three different subscription tiers.
That's a good reason
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?
Try to keep up. They do not make anything on ticket sales early in any movie run. It doesn't matter if they charge $5 or $35, the studios take damn near all of it. If they don't make money on concessions, they close their doors.
Movies in general are a pretty nicely distributed product across consumers. At the high end you just go see first run movies and buy whatever snacks you want. Going down the spectrum some people go early but don't buy the food. Some people go to matinees to save money on even the ticket price. Some people wait for on-demand and watch at home a few weeks later. Some people wait for Redbox or even cable/streaming, and have all the snacks they want at home. You have a choice, and you are not entitled to the next level up. If I want to sell sodas for $6, you can either buy it or go kick rocks. You are not entitled to the sodas that I'm selling. There is something for everyone, but some people just insist on whining that they can't afford the next level up. If you drive a Toyota, drive the Toyota. Stop whining about the prices of Lexus.
I think they are gonna comeback with a better plan to avoid the bankruptcy again
So if you like Regal I'd look into that.
Personally my local regal theatres are not upgraded and very outdated, so I cancelled after the 90 day time I paid was up, since I found myself still going to other theatres.

They'll probably have a mix, where the $30 plan is more like the original unlimited plan, and the lower tiers just have additional restrictions, which I'd be okay with
