Back in the summer of 2018, the beleaguered movie ticket app MoviePass was attracting a firestorm of complaints from users who were unable to use the app (for which they were paying $10 a month to see one film per day) to buy tickets for some new blockbusters, like Mission: Impossible — Fallout. “As we …
After watching the millionth ad play before finally getting to see the movie he’d come to the theater to watch, Stacy Spikes was eventually struck with an idea for a new business. Spikes is a co-founder and former CEO of MoviePass (we know, we know, but his tenure as chief executive at least pre-dates the …
2018 was a hellscape for MoviePass’ business. The movie ticketing service bled a ton of subscribers, rolled out a confusing array of tweaks to its terms, and implemented emergency financial moves behind the scenes to compensate for the turmoil.

It costs the same as the old plan, but the unlimited aspect of the plan (which allowed users to see one movie every day) has been removed. Instead, MoviePass now only allows its users to see up …
This doesn’t sound desperate at all. Fresh on the heels of announcing a price increase then immediately reversing it, the service crashing, then drastically limiting choices, now troubled MoviePass has apparently stepped in it again. This time, the company has been sending out emails to some users who’ve tried to cancel — email that say …
After announcing a price increase and then immediately reversing it at the end of July, MoviePass spent yet another weekend making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
