The movie ticketing service hopes to roll out a family plan within the next month, according to Gizmodo. MoviePass is also reportedly working on a "bring-a-friend" plan that would cost the same as its traditional plan.

The news comes as MoviePass announced it had passed 3 million subscribers since its service began in August 2017.

The service has said it needs 5 million subscribers in order to make a profit, Gizmodo reported.

MoviePass customers pay a monthly fee of $9.95 for access to an unlimited movies a month option, giving users the ability to see a movie a day though limited to viewing a movie once under their account.

With the return of unlimited plans, a limited time offer of three movies a month and the iHeartRadio music trial is available for $7.95 a month.
