MoviePass is back, kind of. Starting today, you can sign up to be on a waitlist to become a MoviePass subscriber, and if you want to, you should move quickly since the waitlist will only be open for five days. The new MoviePass is scheduled to launch around Labor Day, and its first users will be those at the top of the waitlist.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering what, exactly, this new MoviePass is going to be… join the club. This is the company that once promised all the in-theater movies you could watch for $10 a month, only to quickly discover that business plan both infuriated theaters and effectively set millions of dollars on fire<\/a>. It got so bad so fast that Helios and Matheson Analytics, the parent company of MoviePass, went bankrupt last year.<\/p>\n

Stacy Spikes, an original co-founder of MoviePass, bought the company back in late 2021 and has been working on relaunching it since then. Now, as first reported by Insider<\/em><\/a>, the MoviePass subscription will cost $10, $20, or $30 a month, depending on where you live, and will give you access to a certain number of movies every month \u2014 there\u2019s no unlimited version, at least not yet. (Gavin Skillman, a spokesperson for MoviePass, declined to offer more details but did confirm the Insider<\/em> story.) You\u2019ll still be able to use a MoviePass-branded debit card to get into any theater or use the MoviePass app, and in a nice new change, you\u2019ll be able to use your credits to bring friends to the theater. If you were previously a MoviePass customer, you\u2019ll also apparently get some \u201ccomplimentary bonus credits,\u201d but no word yet on exactly how much.<\/p>\n
