Twentieth Century Fox launched a new app called Movie of the Day, which offers up to 70 percent discounts off the price of new and classic films. Every day, the app updates with a new movie deal, ranging “from blockblusters to acclaimed indies, and everything in between.” According to Apple, all transactions are done through iTunes, and movies will be saved to your iTunes library. All deals will only be available for 24 hours. New or classic movies will range in price from $5 to $10.

As of right now, the app is available for iOS devices only, but there are plans to expand to the Google Play Store. The Movie of the Day app also lets users browse a movie’s cast, check out user reviews, and read a synopsis on the film.

Although the company hasn’t confirmed a list of movies to be displayed in the app, the app’s screenshot shows that movies like Rio 2, Fight Club, and The Fault in Our Stars will be discounted in the coming weeks.

While there are plenty of apps like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Crackle, and HBO Go that let you stream movies on your iPhone and iPad, they don’t offer suggestions to check out movies that are on sale.

In a joint effort between Fox and Apple, the Movie of the Day app will be a great way to help increase digital sales. If you’re looking for a new way to discover movies, you’ll want to download the Movie of the Day app. It’s free on the App Store here.

I already held the Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s camera in high regard after having reviewed the phone and tested it out against other cameras. I especially loved the versatility of the brilliant Photography Kit accessory. But most of this happened earlier on in the year before other brands had the chance to release serious competitors. I knew I had to give it another try, just to be sure of my feelings.
