MoviePass Launches Mogul Fantasy Film Studio Game in Public Beta

MoviePass has launched Mogul, a fantasy film studio platform that allows users to build teams of actors, directors, and movies, earning points based on real-world box office performance and cultural impact. Operating on blockchain technology with its own virtual currency called Mogul Coin, users start with a budget to draft assets whose market values fluctuate, simulating the experience of managing a real film studio. Mogul features both free-to-play and premium leagues with token-based entry fees and rewards, including a $100,000 prize pool, and supports transparent tracking through on-chain ownership and trades. The platform aims to transform passive movie fans into active participants by combining prediction markets with fantasy sports mechanics, encouraging strategic decisions influenced by current industry events and trends. Supported by Animoca Brands, Mogul represents MoviePass's shift from its original subscription model toward integrating financial and digital ecosystems, potentially including real-money betting in the future. CEO Stacy Spikes emphasizes the platform's goal to emulate the decision-making complexities of movie moguls while engaging users with dynamic entertainment and cultural content.
