HOW TO BINGE ON OSCAR MOVIES IN CINEMAS FOR CHEAP
At $15 a pop in major cities — and sometimes
more — going to the cinema can easily break

That’s where a movie subscription comes in.
Although MoviePass failed in its bid to let you
catch first-run movies just about anywhere for a
low monthly price, many theater chains are now
offering plans of their own.
These plans cost more than MoviePass’
$10-a-month starting price, and they work only
at each chain’s own theaters, which mostly show
big studio releases. That means you’ll still have
to pay full price for that obscure indie flick at
the local art house. But these plans can still be
