I just don't expect the monthly fee would be low enough to be worthwhile for most people. I'm no expert on economics, but Netflix and individual movie theaters seem like two different business models. $8 for all the $15 movie tickets you want seems like a horrible deal for the theater. A bookstore model might be more feasible: You pay to have membership at the theater, and then either get bonuses for spending lots of money at the theater or get reduced ticket prices. (It wouldn't surprise me if there were already theaters doing this.)
