MoviePass, the film-theater subscription service owned by Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. , and Fandor, a streaming service with a database of independent films, documentaries, international features and shorts, are teaming up with Costco Wholesale Corp. to offer a special one-year plan for $89.99 that will give subscribers access to Fandor’s library as well as to MoviePass’ cinema plan. The offer will be available online for just one week from Dec. 12 to Dec. 18, the companies said in a statement. “those who sign up for the one year subscriptions will receive digital codes providing instant access to Fandor’s library of over 5,000 films, as well as a year’s worth of the latest and greatest in-theater experiences through MoviePass,” the statement said.
