After the promotional period, Blockbuster Movie Pass will be available for prices starting at USD 10 per month. Access to the subscription streaming movie service requires a Dish Network HD DVR. For non-Dish subscribers, the company will launch an online streaming plan later this year, Blockbuster president Michael Kelly said in an interview with Reuters.
