MoviePass Rival Sinemia Launches Family Plans Starting at $8.99 | Tech News

MoviePass rival Sinemia is introducing family plans.

Sinemia’s family plans provide tickets for two to six people, and range from $8.99 for “one movie day for two people per month” up to $89.99 for “three movie days for six people per month.” Keep in mind that “all plans are billed annually,” so you’ll need to pay for 12 months upfront. The new plans are available in the US, Australia, Canada, Turkey, and the UK; see full pricing details below.

Sinemia’s move to launch family plans follows rumors yesterday that rival MoviePass is gearing up to introduce “high-demand” surge pricing starting in July. Meanwhile, Sinemia and MoviePass will soon gain new competition: theater chain AMC this week announced plans to launch its own $20-per-month subscription program called Stubs A-List.

Those with Sinemia family plan memberships can use the app to purchase movie tickets on Fandango.com, MovieTickets.com, or AtomTickets.com, or directly through a movie theater’s website or box office. The company says its service is available in “all major theatres.”

With this launch, “Sinemia for Two” plans, which ranged from $9.99 to $29.99, will become part of the new family plans and be $1 cheaper per month, the company said.

“Our Sinemia for Two plans have been very popular among our subscribers, which shows that moviegoers love to go to the movies with their family and friends,” Sinemia Founder and CEO Rifat Oguz said in a statement. “Expanding this into broader Family Plans is the next logical step for us.”

Sinemia’s individual plans range from $4.99 for one movie ticket per month to $14.99 for three movie tickets per month.
