MoviePass cuts annual plan, devastating hopeless optimists who think it'll still be around in a year
We’re starting to wonder if MoviePass wasn’t secretly designed as some sort of elaborate scientific experiment on the American moviegoing public, a test to see how crappy you can make a once-beloved service before the frogs notice you’re turning up the heat on their comfortable stovetop bathtub and start hopping out. Today, the company—which has spent the last few months steadily dialing back benefits for its users, from the mythical unlimited film-going experience of yesteryear, to the handful of select films it grudgingly hands out to the masses now every month—announced that it was discontinuing any extra benefits for its annual users, those sweet summer children who bought a subscription to the MoviePass program on the assumption that it would still be up and running a year from now.
