charging full bore into a slapfight with a federal agency that can prevent your products from being sold is a bold strategy cotton, let's see if it pays off for him

so moviepass is pretty much dead

quote:

Subscription service MoviePass hasn’t been having a great 2018. Constant changes to its terms of service have created a growing sense of uncertainty about what customers actually get with their MoviePass subscriptions. The company’s flagship tier was scuttled, then brought back without any real explanation. And in April, an independent auditor for MoviePass parent company Helios & Matheson Analytics raised alarm bells by expressing “substantial doubt” that the company could stay in business. Bloomberg reports that an SEC filing today largely confirms that assessment, with Helios & Matheson acknowledging it has just $15.5 million in the bank, even though it’s been blowing through more than $21 million per month on average over the past seven months.

The future doesn’t look promising for the company, and its stock price has responded accordingly, with shares dropping more than 31 percent by the close of trading. The general assumption has been that MoviePass could never maintain its current business strategy over the long term, but these latest financial revelations appear to indicate a real inflection point. Each new report is damaging the most essential part of the MoviePass brand: the assumption that the service will stay in operation in some form, and that new subscribers will be able to get their money’s worth.

The bare financials in the Form 8-K filing are stark. As of April 30th, Helios & Matheson has $15.5 million in cash, with $27.9 million “on deposit” with the company’s various merchant processors. Those latter funds represent money from annual and other long-term subscriptions that MoviePass customers have already paid, and that Helios & Matheson will receive over the course of the year. The problem is how much money is going out. According to the filing, the company has spent an average of $21.7 million per month for the stretch between October 2017 through April 2018. Even if Helios were to receive all of its payments from merchant processors back, it barely has enough cash to stay afloat for two months before the well runs dry.

the only lacroix that is genuinely better than other flavored mineral water is the apricot one. that one is tasty.

the others are literally identical to whatever discount brand you can get for 99 cents for 2L at the grocery store, or worse
