The Rise of MoviePass and Its Downfall
MoviePass was founded in 2011 by Stacey and Hemiwat, starting with 20,000 subscribers. It offered an all-you-can-watch movie theater subscription at $10 a month. However, the company's rapid growth and unsustainable model led to a massive loss of $250 million, ultimately shutting down. The documentary 'MoviePass Movie Crash' delves into the wild corporate greed, bad decisions, and internal struggles that contributed to its downfall.
