The subscription-based movie ticketing service has experienced a series of changes since its launch. Of these, we include a change in pricing structures from an original invite-only launch from 2017 to a single film per day plan priced at $9.95 monthly. Moreover, changes in their business model continued as a major stake in the company was acquired by an analytics firm. In 2012, MoviePass was cited as one of the “25 Most Disruptive Apps of 2012” by the business news website, Business Insider.
