I hate that I jumped on the Moviepass bandwagon so late (March) but at least I made it before they changed it for new users to only see 4 movies per month.
Everyone's affected by the change that disallows multiple viewings of the same movie. The work-around is trivial enough, except for a sold out movie, so for this one, whatevah.
Believe it or not, Moviepass is losing money hand over fist. I truly would love to see what their plan to profitability was when they set up the service. Were they using the gym pricing model where most members are expected to not show up? For the math to work, users would have to see an average of 1, less than 1 really, movie per month. Did they really not see that this program would incent people to view movies they otherwise wouldn't? That's all I've ever heard from users, is how they, like me, are using it to see movies they otherwise would have ignored.
Enjoy it while you can.

The 4 movies / month change didn't take but it looks like the "no repeats" policy is still in place.
