See unlimited movies in theaters for just $50 a month?! MoviePass is coming!

Yes, you read the article title correctly, MoviePass is going to basically be Netflix for the theater crowd by allowing you to subscribe for unlimited theater screenings for just $50 a month! If you see a lot of movies in theaters, or wish you could but it is just too damn expensive MoviePass may just be something to consider.

Here is how MoviePass will work once it gets up and running:

• For $50 a month a MoviePass subscriber's smartphone is transformed into a ticket, or more more accurately an unlimited movie pass for the month.
• An application (pictured below) on the subscribers phone will allow them search for local theaters, showtimes and then "check-in" to the theater.
• The subscriber then walks straight up to the counter, verifys their MoviePass is in order and then heads on in.
• Rinse and repeat as often as you want, simple as that!

Again, just in case it hasn't quite sunk in yet: you will be able to go to as many movies as you want each month for just $50, which if you frequent the theater could easily save you hard earned green. But the perks don't stop there!

Not only will the flat-rate service allow you to see unlimited movies each month but it will also make going to just see a new trailer more practical, subscribers will have the potential to download digital copies and pre-order DVDs and Blu-rays of the movie they just watched   and subscribers could even get invited to promotional and advanced screenings based on their picks.

All around this is starting to sound too good to be true, but MoviePass is real and is having a trial run this month. For 3D and Imax there would be a $3 surcharge per-flick, still not a bad deal and if you have a minute be sure to head over to MoviePass' Official Site to enter to win free movie tickets for a year.
