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 do not believe anyone that has joined the WL, knows how to invite some one else.
sit tight details to come.
The "Standard" plan, for $20, allows 2 to 4 movies per month.
The "Pro" plan, for $30, allows 3 to 5 movies per month.
Currently, all plans do not include IMAX showings or other large format offerings, only standard screenings. However, MoviePass CEO and cofounder Stacy Spikes told Insider plans are in the works to include that option in the future.
time to watch and wait
10 for 3 movies is acceptable if that will help them stay alive.
however, pricing is odd.
i dont see any value to pay more than 10.
cities selected are reasonable.
but bummer for most Sd'er..lol
if they had chosen the bay area market, they'd be back in Bankruptcy by nov.

They will probably open their own theatre.
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?
Logically you are not wrong, but unfortunately consumers are not known to be a logical bunch. And corporations try their level best to take advantage of that fact. Pretty sure they have tons of data on how many people will buy at which price point. The fact is that most people don't factor in the cost of popcorn or soda when they are initially buying the movie ticket. They pay $12 or whatever per ticket (often buying them online in advance), and then as an afterthought get into the concession lines. If the price per ticket were to be made $18, many people would balk at the entry price. I know it's funny - but when people buy $7 sodas and $6 popcorn, they think they paid $12 for the movie and $13 for food. But in your scenario, if they paid $18 for the movie and $6 for the food, suddenly the movie starts looking quite expensive. So even though logically they paid $3 less in the second scenario, even consumers who buy concessions every time will go to the movie fewer times. Theaters might sell more food per ticket, but less tickets will be sold overall.
"We are proud to announce the first markets testing the MoviePass Beta App:
Chicago
Dallas
Kansas City
We are eager to provide extraordinary service to the over 750,000 movie fans who joined our waitlist. That's why we're using this BETA period to listen to your feedback and work out the kinks. Other markets will be launched as we continue to roll out based on continued interest and feedback.
Those on the MoviePass waitlist in these cities will receive further information on how the rollout will work in their city. Stay tuned as we announce new markets!
We'll see you at the movies."
