MoviePass has gone through a series of testing with several subscription models over multiple cities and now it officially launches once again across the nation. The platform features more than 4,000 movie theater locations throughout the country that are operated by Regal Cinemas, Cinemark, AMC Theaters, and other small regional chains.
The new subscription model will cost more with the price of $10 monthly as the starting plan that offers three movies monthly. The tiers continue upwards to $40 per month, which allows subscribers to visit up to 30 theatrical screenings. Similar to the previous launch, the films can be booked directly on the MoviePass app if the theater has a direct partnership with the company.
