I guess technically the end hasn't been written yet, but doesn't the fate of MoviePass validate your Kellogg MBA's fears?

MoviePass is just an experiment. An important thing they have proved is that there are a lot of people still interested in going to theater and reason they are not doing so is because of lack of flexibility in current business model. I don't see any theater chain learning from this even while they are still going on the same path as RadioShack and Blockbuster. I think eventually MoviePass or some other startup will come around and they will start their own popup-theaters to implement business model such as this.

People will go to a lot of movies if you make them free while burning through VC money? Holy shit what a scoop!
