• MoviePass rival Sinemia is now offering an unlimited
  movie-ticket subscription plan for $29.99 a month.
• This is the first unlimited plan since MoviePass ditched its
  popular $9.99 one in August.

As MoviePass has pulled back its movie-theater subscription
service to cater to the casual moviegoer, Sinemia wants to be the
new home for power users.

In a press release sent out on Monday, Sinemia announced it has
launched the $29.99 unlimited plan for 2D films in the US,
Canada, and Australia.

“While most of our plans are focused on the modern moviegoer who
sees one, two, or three  films each month, we want to serve
every type of movie lover and that includes frequent moviegoers
looking for an unlimited tickets option,” said Rifat Oguz, CEO
and founder of Sinemia in the release. “We’ve spent  four
years testing and fine-tuning our unlimited tickets model and are
confident this is the right price to sustainably offer such a
plan.”

Sinemia’s unlimited plan is the first since
MoviePass scrapped its popular unlimited $9.99 plan in August
for a more realistic $9.95 for three films per month.

Sinemia has worked hard to find a fan base in the US as it does
in other regions of the world, and it’s certainly getting to a
point where audiences (and the industry) have to begin to take
notice.

For months, it’s been a vocal competitor of MoviePass, having put
together numerous tiered plans ranging from
one movie to three per month, with options for IMAX and family
plans. And in late August, a survey from
the National Research Group revealed that Sinemia’s two
films for $7.99 per month was the most popular movie-ticket
subscription plan among moviegoers. 

Riding that momentum, Sinemia is swinging for the fences with its
unlimited plan. Here’s hoping it works out better than it did for
MoviePass.
