MoviePass has had 1000 eulogies already, but I will always be grateful it came into existence right around the same time I got laid off & let me see dozens of movies when I had the time but not the cash. RIP, friend. https://t.co/Xp9TuP2D6p

Startup idea:
— Steve Cheney (@stevecheney) September 14, 2019
MoviePass, but not for movies, for food delivery, and only if you live in SF and are not employed at a startup that’s part of the free lunch ban, and it’s not unlimited, but like breadsticks at Olive Garden, unlimited only when profitable. https://t.co/YaDqW0BLj8

moviepass was a "too good to be true" deal from day one... it also convinced every major movie theater chain to radically change their business model in an attempt to compete.
— brendon bigley (@brendonbigley) September 13, 2019
so i guess i'm glad it existed, even though i dunked on it pretty much daily??? https://t.co/i7SpOjxTaI
It was great while it lasted. I got a good year out of it before it went downhill. Thanks to MoviePass we now have things like AMC A-List and Regal Unlimited. Rest In Peace, sweet prince! https://t.co/L9f3LZnh74

1/ MoviePass was the subject of one of my blog posts in December 2017 because it was the most available way to teach people how to analyze a business, including understanding unit economics, premature scaling, wholesale transfer pricing and value chains. https://t.co/FKJp0jN6Ij
— Tren Griffin (@trengriffin) September 13, 2019
By the end, a Moviepass membership would only let you see one movie per year, and only in a single theater, which was located in a back alley behind a bowling alley in Tuscon. But by God, they were gonna figure out how to monetize that model just any old day now. https://t.co/mjrFG3RPjb

No offense to those that invested but in my deal memo for AOL Ventures I was explicitly asked to remove my “cons”... NO INFORMATIONAL ASYMETRY means that it was never the Netflix for movie goers... everyone knows how much [n] tickets cost verses the monthly subscription ??♂️ https://t.co/T8TwAigvGo

MoviePass was always doomed and their customer service treated me like crap once, but it’s probably the reason AMC created Stubs A-List, which is a great value for me and has encouraged me to take a chance on more movies that I wound up enjoying. So ... thanks, MoviePass!
