  • MoviePass' owner, Helios and Matheson Analytics, closed below $1 on Monday, less than a week after the company underwent a reverse stock split to boost its share price.
  • The stock has plummeted from $14 on Wednesday, trading as low as $0.77 on Monday, days after MoviePass experienced a service outage and HMNY borrowed $5 million in cash to turn the app back on.
  • Shares of HMNY have to close at $1 or above for 10 straight trading days for the stock to no longer be at risk of being delisted in mid-December.
  • HMNY closed at $0.80 on Monday, putting it at risk of delisting. 

MoviePass' parent company, Helios and Matheson Analytics, closed below $1 on Monday, less than a week after the company underwent a reverse stock split in an attempt to stay listed on the Nasdaq.

HMNY was trading as low as $0.77 Monday before closing at $0.80 — a sharp drop from its $14 share price on Wednesday after performing a 1-for-250 reverse stock split on Tuesday.

The stock's plummet comes as MoviePass faces dire prospects in its attempts to be financially sustainable.

The subscription service had an outage on Thursday after the company ran out of cash. Its service came back on Friday after HMNY borrowed $5 million in cash, which it disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

Many MoviePass users said over the weekend that they were having issues with checking in on the app and purchasing tickets on their card. Several also complained that the company was charging "surge prices" for films that had been out for weeks or were not showing at peak times.

Shares of HMNY would have to close at $1 or above for 10 straight trading days for the stock to no longer be at risk of being delisted from the Nasdaq, according to the exchange. It must also have a market cap of $50 million. (Its estimated market cap was about $1.35 million on Monday, according to Yahoo Finance.)

Since it closed at $0.80 on Monday, less than a week after its reverse stock split, HMNY is at risk of getting kicked off the exchange starting December 18.

The Nintendo Switch has been the US’s bestselling console for 23 straight months

By
Photo by James Bareham / The Verge It’s been a good two years for the Nintendo Switch. According to Nintendo, the gaming tablet has been the bestselling console in the US for 23 straight months. And according to data from the NPD Group, it just had its best October ever, moving 735,926 units of both the Switch and Switch Lite in the US. The company says that represents a 136 percent increase compared to last year. To date, the Switch has sold 22.5 million units in the US, and last week Nintendo revealed that more than 68 million units have been sold globally . “We’re excited about our momentum,” says Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s SVP of sales and marketing. Chavez puts the company’s big October down to two main factors. One is a better supply of stock; this year in particular, it’s often been hard to find a Switch on store shelves. This has only been exacerbated by increased demand due to a combination of the pandemic and the breakout success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons . ...

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

By
After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

MVP versus EVP: Is it time to introduce ethics into the agile startup model?

By
Anand Rao Contributor Share on Twitter Anand Rao is global head of AI at PwC . The rocket ship trajectory of a startup is well known: Get an idea, build a team and slap together a minimum viable product (MVP) that you can get in front of users. However, today’s startups need to reconsider the MVP model as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) become ubiquitous in tech products and the market grows increasingly conscious of the ethical implications of AI augmenting or replacing humans in the decision-making process. An MVP allows you to collect critical feedback from your target market that then informs the minimum development required to launch a product — creating a powerful feedback loop that drives today’s customer-led business. This lean, agile model has been extremely successful over the past two decades — launching thousands of successful startups, some of which have grown into billion-dollar companies. However, building high-performing product...
