Business Insider on the Big Screen
Get your popcorn ready.
We’re bringing Business Insider’s investigative journalism to life through innovative visual storytelling and two key partnerships.
“MoviePass, MovieCrash” – Produced by Mark Wahlberg’s Unrealistic Ideas and directed by Muta’Ali
Business Insider will premiere our feature-length film, “MoviePass, MovieCrash” at the 2024 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, March 9 – a first for BI.
Back in 2019, BI Entertainment Correspondent Jason Guerrasio published the viral story detailing the rise and fall of a once-beloved start-up, MoviePass. During a four-month investigation, Guerrasio uncovered that MoviePass was struggling behind the scenes due to an unsustainable business model, wavering leadership, and questionable tactics. Shortly after, MoviePass’ parent company shuttered its doors, and both companies’ CEOs were charged with fraud.
The documentary spotlights how modern-day subscription competition and consumer demand led MoviePass decision-makers down a tumultuous road, even though movie-goers embraced the concept.
If you’re heading to SXSW, attend the screening and learn more about how Business Insider is showing up.
