Spikes originally co-founded in 2011 but the service only gained steam in 2017 after it was purchased by Helios and Matheson Analytics, a data analytics firm.
That was when the company introduced its $10 unlimited movie tickets deal, supercharging its growth. Spikes says that at the time he questioned whether the $10-a-month model was sustainable and says he was fired by the app’s new owners in 2018 over those concerns. “There was a really big difference in the belief of the way the company should go forward,” Spikes said during Thursday’s presentation. “And we all kind of know what happened after that.”MoviePass ultimately folded after customers abused the company’s model by binge-watching the same films over and over, buying tickets for friends and family who didn’t subscribe to the service, and in some cases, purchasing a movie ticket just “to go to the restroom in Times Square,” Ted Farnsworth, then the CEO of Helios and Matheson Analytics, told The Post at the time of its shutdown in 2019.Adding to its problems was the fact that movie theater chains like AMC and Cinemark began to roll out their own ticket subscription services, causing MoviePass to add new fees to the biggest films and

The Sopranos, citing exhaustion from inhabiting a character’s emotions for so long.The Better Call Saul star, who reprises his role as Saul Goodman for the Breaking Bad spinoff’s sixth and final series this year, made the remarks in a new interview.He told The New York Times that he’s ready to part ways his character, admitting that it’s “challenging” to let go of a role he’s portrayed over a decade.“I always used to scoff and roll my eyes at actors who say, ‘It’s so hard.’ Really?
