Movie fans, rejoice: after opening in 10 markets across the United States, MoviePass is back nationwide.

MoviePass CEO Stacy Spikes made the “special announcement” on Twitter, stating, “We’re letting everyone on the waitlist into the new MoviePass beta.”

How to get MoviePass

For those who joined the MoviePass waitlist in August, you should have received an email from MoviePass Tuesday, giving you access to the MoviePass beta.

At the bottom of the email, click “Create your account now,” or “Sign in here,” if you already have an account.

Once you are signed in, it will have you enter your ZIP code, and choose a subscription plan. After entering your credit card information, you will officially be registered on MoviePass.

For those who didn’t join the waitlist, don’t worry: Spikes told Business Insider that MoviePass will be available to the general public by the summer.
