Here's a little information for my American cousins; I don't think this applies internationally. If you like going to the movies, but don't like how expensive it can be to get in the door, Movie Pass is the way to go.
You can sign up at moviepass.com and then download the app to your phone. In approximately 2 weeks, you receive a debit card. Once you receive that card, you can begin using the app. The way it works, you have to be within 100 yards of the movie theater you wish to go to; the app will show you the movies playing there and the show times. You click on the showing you want and you "check in." The app will then tell you that you are checked in and able to get your ticket. You go to the box office, order your ticket and present the Movie Pass debit card for payment. And you're done!
If you sign up at moviepass.com, you will pay $9.99 a month or you can do what I did which is take advantage of a promotion Movie Pass is running with Costco.com. If you sign up through Costco, it will cost $89.99 for a year's membership, a savings of $30 over the monthly rate plus you get a year's free membership to movie streaming service fandor.com.
Regardless of how you join, this is why you should join: You can see a movie a day. Every day. No blackout periods. A maximum of 365 movies a year. The average cost of movie admission is around 10 bucks. Do the math, this is a major bargain. However, you can't use Movie Pass for IMAX, or 3D movies, but really, who cares?
I'm using it to see movies I would normally wait until they made it to cable to see, like "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" and "I, Tonya."
Movie Pass is awesome! And I swear, they're not paying me to shill for them, LOL.
