MoviePass Inc., a leading technology platform revolutionizing the moviegoing experience, today announced a significant investment from Forecast Labs, a consumer venture group within Comcast NBCUniversal. This strategic partnership will see Forecast Labs spearheading new customer acquisition for MoviePass through targeted TV advertising campaigns.
This announcement follows MoviePass’s recent achievement of surpassing one million movies viewed on its platform and marking its first profitable year. The company’s growth trajectory has been significantly bolstered by advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, which have optimized the performance of the MoviePass Cinematic Marketplace. These technologies have enhanced the company’s proprietary credit-based system, delivering substantial value to members, creating marketing opportunities for studios, and driving higher attendance for partner theaters.
“Today’s investment will accelerate our mission to bring new technology and innovation to the film community, spurring growth and driving higher traffic to theaters,” said MoviePass CEO and co-founder Stacy Spikes. “We are also continuing to invest in the development of our cinematic marketplace so that studios and partner theaters can see maximum value by engaging directly with movie fans on the platform.”
