>But more seriously, as someone who has followed MoviePass since 2011 I was confused and had to look up the history[1], because I thought they were only around since August 2017 [2]. As it turns out, 2017 was when they shifted over to the "one movie a day for $9.95 a month" (paid for at the retail level with no special buy-in or discounts from theaters), which is what made them a household name. So, just an FYI if were confused like me. Someone else probably has more details about the clusterfrak regarding all the sudden blackout days and surge pricing and running out of money and denying your ticket after you got to the theater.
