Aaaaand there goes your quality of service. Remember when I said Mitch Lowe was pulling out all the tricks he knows to keep MoviePass afloat? And that somehow included buying a stake in what may be the worst movie of the year? A movie which, in an almost ironic twist given its subject matter, has […]
Shots fired! MoviePass has leaked a little blood into the water, and the long adversarial AMC took notice. Because now, they’re launching a competing service under their Stubs reward program titled Stubs A-List. For $20 a month, subscribers get to see three movies a week, with no limitations. That means you can see movies in […]
I have no idea how they thought this would work out. It’s no secret that MoviePass is in some spot of hot water; they have, after all, been whittling away at the value of a membership. And so their CEO, Mitch Lowe, determined to keep the good ship afloat, is pulling out all of his […]
It may become an ex-service. MoviePass doesn’t seem to be doing to well. At least, according to a Bloomberg report. The report states that the service has been burning through over $21 million a month recently. Helios & Matheson, inc., the firm which owns MoviePass, reported that it had just $15.5 million in cash at […]
You’re getting less, now, and the original deal may never come back. Well, I guess the gravy train had to end eventually. MoviePass is changing what its service provides for new subscribers. Now, new subscribers will be able to see 4 movies a month. But don’t worry; you may not get unlimited movies a month, […]
Gotta prime the pump, I guess. MoviePass shook things up when they announced their plan to offer full priced movie tickets on demand for a monthly rate. Doubly so when they announced that they were slashing that rate to $10 a month. Well, for new customers, they’re lowering that price to $6.95. According to an […]
Not much of a surprise, really. As it turns out, MoviePass has been growing quite a bit. But they’ve apparently decided to that they have enough time to put the screws AMC for crossing them way back when they started last year. Because they’re cutting several AMC theater locations from their service; ten across the […]
That’s the sound of AMC staring daggers at their back. You remember MoviePass; the guys that were trying to do for theaters what Netflix did for home video? Well, they’ve got a pretty decent deal going right now. You can get a year-long subscription set at $7 a month (well, more like $7.50 after processing […]
It’s all about to heat up. Remember how MoviePass is offering a $10 monthly subscription for movie tickets? And how AMC wasn’t happy about it? Well, it’s about to get better, because AMC’s trying to legally block the service from their theaters. Their reasoning, of course, being that they believe MoviePass’ business model to be […]
May well be worth it if you like going to sees stuff in theaters. Imagine being able to go see any movies you want in theaters for $10 a month, one per day. That’s what MoviePass is currently making strides to offer to customers of its service; unlimited access for a very reasonable monthly price. […]
Why? Because Trolls: World Tour did just fine outside of them. So, remember roughly a month and a half back, when Universal announced that their films would be streamable as part of stemming the tide of the ongoing pandemic. Well, it seems the fallout from that is finally touching down with theaters; or, at least, […]
Everything that boots is beautiful. By now, you should instantly associate Helios & Matheson with the albatross known as MoviePass. What you might not know is that MoviePass isn’t the only movie-related thing they owned. I mean, they helped finance Gotti; that should’ve told you lots. Anyway, they also owned MovieFone. Which, to be frank, […]
