Here's How to Go to All the Movies You Want For Only $10 a Month (Seriously!)

Sick of paying an arm and a leg and promising to hand over your first-born child just to go to the movie theater these days? You're not alone. Thankfully, MoviePass is here to help. The startup, which has been around since 2011 and is led by former Netflix executive Mitch Lowe, has made it possible for you to go to all of the movies you want in a month for one low fee. Sound like a Joanne the Scammer-level trap? Yeah, we thought so, too.
MoviePass originally offered subscribers the service to see one movie per day (if they were so inclined) for $30 a month, but now it's dropped its fee to a paltry $9.95 (which excludes 3D and IMAX films). For people who live in big cities where movie tickets reach as high as $15 or $16 for a single ticket, this would be an incredible money-saver. According to Lowe, competition from streaming sites like Netflix and Amazon is not to blame for the recent drop in ticket sales. Instead, he (quite rightly) asserts that it's the insanely high ticket prices that most likely keep people from going to the movies. "People really do want to go more often," Lowe said. "They just don't like the transaction."
In a recent note on its website announcing its new price, MoviePass explained that space to sign up for the program is limited. It didn't take long for people to flock to the sale, crashing its site. As of publication, it's still down, but keep checking back to see if you can get in on the deal! In the meantime, here's its full post so you can get a better idea of how MoviePass works.
"Dear MoviePass Community,
For the last several years, we have been testing a number of service offers and price points. We have learned a lot during this process and believe that we now have an offer that can't be beat.
Effective today, we are introducing a universal subscription plan for $9.95 per month. MoviePass will have one price point nationwide and it will be for standard 2D films only. As a subscriber, you can see any movie, at any theater, at any time. For your convenience, we currently support more than 91 percent of movie theaters nationwide. Unfortunately, premium formats such as 3D and IMAX will not be included in this plan.
We believe that you want to see more movies in theaters. Our $9.95 per month subscription makes it possible for you to see a movie every day, if you would like.
For current members, your price will automatically be reduced to $9.95, beginning on your next billing cycle following August 15th.As before, there is no contract, so you are free to cancel at any time. This price point will be guaranteed for at least 12 months for those who sign up during this period. Space is limited.
To all of those members who have supported us over the years, thank you! We look forward to continuing to provide award-winning service and giving you the largest selections of movies and theaters in the industry.
See you at the movies!
The MoviePass Team"
