How MoviePass Turned $9.95 Into a Disaster

Unlimited movies for $9.95 a month sounded like a perfect deal. Then MoviePass started putting obstacles between its busiest customers and the cinema. This documentary follows the original subscription: password disruption, ticket verification, hidden limits, emergency financing and the investor story. It draws on the FTC complaint and settlement, SEC filings and the Justice Department’s case updates.
