Whatever we were paying for (was it $15?) it was a real bargain, I suspect most customers would gladly pay 50% more... heck, I would swallow, but continue my membership at $25.
Netflix has been raising their rates since day one, and they still have enough members.

Little, if any hope:
Hello Victor,
Thank you for contacting FilmStruck. My name is Kevin and I will be happy to assist you with your question today.
We know there are many questions as to why FilmStruck is closing on November 29th. I'm afraid we have no further information on this other than that WarnerMedia decided to shut down the service in 2018. We appreciate your support and thank you for your understanding.
Should you have any other questions or concerns, FilmStruck customer service can be reached at help@FilmStruck.com, and will be available through January 24th, 2019.
Best wishes,
Kevin

The people who run these things - not poor Kevin - usually only look at products and/or services as a means to transfer money. Nothing else.
What *we* need to hope for is that somebody else is able to purchase the rights to stream the library. Then we can send our money to them. All too often somebody in authority decides that while they don't think it's a worthwhile or sexy enough business to be in, they sure as heck don't want anybody else to make money from it either. (Might make them look silly?) One aspect of their compensation package is the ability to exert authority...
I think it might help if more of us expressed our view.
Who knows... miracles do happen.
I am not privy to at and t financials. I'm sure they want a Netflix with millions, probably tens of millions of paying subscribers and with filmstruck, they probably have thousands. Whether they make a little money or not, they probably want their employee hours going to more profitable enterprises. But who really knows why a big company does anything.
You know filmstruck is far from perfect. There are plenty of good movies from the last 40 years and very very few on filmstruck. But when you look at the treasures... I counted 33 Ozu titles tonight after watching Floating Weeds. I've seen Tokyo Story and maybe a couple others. I thought about taking a month and working through all of them. It will not happen now. Similar deep dives could be done with Melville, Renoir, Bergman, Fellini, Tati...these are the real deal, not just historically important but watchable for pure entertainment value as well.
I will have a sort of binge for a month. Then see what Criterion will do to provide legal streaming access to its catalog. I hope they get it together soon.
Hyper-ventilate on good films.
