Low morale, staff firings, and new pricing plans coming: Inside the walls of MoviePass
On Thursday MoviePass' parent company, Helios and Matheson Analytics, disclosed it lost $130 million last quarter, and suffered a "significant decline" in MoviePass subscribers.
The following morning, MoviePass staff came to work to a startling discovery. MoviePass' two-person HR department had been fired, a source at the company told Business Insider.
Now some at MoviePass are wondering if they could be next on the chopping block, according to the source.
To top it all off, MoviePass CEO Mitch Lowe has been hard to find, according to the source.
Lowe has not been on an all-hands call in two months, which the source said was a sign of his lack of involvement in the day-to-day operations of the company. Some of Lowe's duties, including running the all-hands, are being done by Khalid Itum, MoviePass' VP of Business Development.
"Mitch has been and continues to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the company," MoviePass told Business Insider in a statement.
Shortly after Business Insider called MoviePass for comment, another all hands was called to inform staff of a forthcoming story, according to the source.

On a call Monday, Itum told the staff the company was "not going anywhere." In fact, MoviePass plans to make a big splash soon by unveiling a three-tier pricing plan for subscribers, the company source said.
This would include the current pricing level of $9.95 for three titles per month as the bottom-tier option, and a top-tier price that would be similar to what AMC is offering with its AMC Stubs A-List, at $19.95 a month for three movies per week.
"We have been listening closely to our subscribers," MoviePass also told Business Insider in a statement. "While we can't share specifics at the moment, we're looking forward to releasing our new programs intended to maximize positive member experience."
The last official subscriber count the public got from MoviePass was when it crossed three million subscribers in June. The company source told Business Insider that tens of thousands of subscribers canceled in October.
They lost $130 million in the last quarter. If they release a plan like AMC, it will still have restrictions lmaoeven though I (finally) cancelled still interesting to see what they're trying to do
If the AMC like plan doesn't have the bullshyt limitations of what movies they choose to screen, I'd get back on board
New pricing plan @Deltron
MoviePass enters 2019 with higher-priced plans and a new model
Starting in January MoviePass will move to a three-tiered subscription system:
- Select
- This plan ranges from $10 to $15 (varying depending on the area -- cheaper in the Midwest vs. more expensive in NYC and LA) and roughly continues the existing $9.95 plan with three movies per month from a limited selection of movies and days to see them.
- All Access
- The step-up tier ranges from $15 to $20 and keeps the three movie limit, but subscribers can see any movie they want (at participating theaters), at any time, as long as it's not in 3D.
- Red Carpet
- The most expensive plan ranges from $20 to $25 per month, and includes access to one IMAX, 3D or other large-format screening per
Apparently at the moment you can only sign up for these new plans with your bank, not credit or debit card.
I cancelled on them this month. Not trusting them till I see actual change. Too much bullshyt changes they have done that made the service unusable over the past 4 months.New pricing plan @Deltron
