Going to the movies is a treat for most, but for some, seeing films on the big screen is the only way to go. No matter where you fall on the spectrum, the MoviePass appis worth looking into. Because now that the monthly subscription comes at an all-new low price, viewing from a theater is easier than ever before. The app, owned by Netflix co-founder Mitch Lowe, has recently dropped from a $50 a month membership fee to just $9.95 a month. Downloading the MoviePass app gives you access to one movie per day for the monthly fee. Considering the average movie ticket price was $8.84 in 2017—this really is a steal.

Today’s acquisition by Helios & Matheson is a huge step towards making our vision a reality by allowing us to introduce a new $9.95 nationwide subscription service that completely disrupts the movie industry in the same way that Netflix and Redbox have done in years past." And considering Lowe is also the co-founder of Netflix, he certainly knows a thing or two about making the subscription model work.
