HBO introduces a new documentary dubbed MoviePass, MovieCrash which is set to launch on May 29th. It highlights the rise and fall of MoviePass. It is produced by Mark Wahlberg and led by filmmaker Muta'Ali. The chronicles tell the "meteoric rise and stranger-than-fiction implosion" of the subscription platform.
It was originally set when it launched in 2011 before the company realized that it could take new routes by working with other gyms and membership services. Within the span of eight years, the company went from being the highest-growing subscription service to complete bankruptcy. The trailer showcases a look at upcoming interviews with some of the most prominent names in the company including former CEO Mitch Lowe.
