Quick Question @Sharanr: I would imagine that the individual data + email addresses of movie lovers would be even more valuable for studios than having people preview and rate their films. What are your commitments around privacy/marketing for those who sign up for Scoop? Will this data be sold?

@lwesleylittle Hi Wesley, A very valid concern. But the email addresses sale game will not gain us anything of significance. Quite the contrary. Each test screening costs the studios about $50-80 per viewer currently. Far beyond what an email address will fetch us. And people willing to commit to watching a film within a small time window and then providing a lot of feedback is far more valuable to us than just movie lovers. Having a large base of testers that we can reach out to is a huge competitive advantage for us. You can be assured that we'll protect this data with every tech we have to ensure we don't lose our test user base to a competitor (which includes the studios running their own tests).
