MoviePass, once known for revolutionizing movie theater subscriptions, is making a bold pivot into the blockchain space with the launch of Mogul, a new platform designed to engage film fans through fantasy sports-style competitions.

Built on Mysten Labs’ Sui blockchain, Mogul allows users to predict how movies will perform at the box office, their critical reception, and potential awards. Participants can compete in tournaments and challenges, earning digital collectibles in the form of NFTs and in-game currency while climbing leaderboards.

This innovative approach transforms passive movie watching into an interactive experience where fans influence culture and the entertainment economy. MoviePass CEO Stacy Spikes describes Mogul as the culmination of their Web3 strategy, aiming to activate a new generation of engaged moviegoers.

With over 400,000 users signed up for early access, Mogul is poised to integrate deeply with the MoviePass app, blending ticketing, fandom, and speculation into a seamless entertainment journey. Users will receive digital wallets to manage virtual currency, enhancing the platform’s immersive experience.

MoviePass’ journey from a subscription service to a blockchain-based entertainment platform highlights the evolving landscape of fan engagement. By leveraging NFTs and gamified betting, Mogul aims to redefine how audiences interact with film culture and box office dynamics.

This shift also reflects broader trends in the entertainment industry, where blockchain technology is unlocking new forms of consumer experiences and revenue streams. Mogul’s model could inspire other media companies to explore similar integrations of Web3 technologies to deepen fan loyalty and participation.

For developers and businesses in entertainment tech, Mogul presents opportunities to innovate around blockchain infrastructure, digital collectibles, and interactive fan engagement platforms. Understanding this convergence of blockchain and media can drive strategic investments and product development in the evolving digital entertainment ecosystem.
