Starting today, users can download PopcornflixGOLD at Google Play™ and earn virtual rewards—called "FlixPoints™"—by engaging with the in-app advertising of their choice from the Tapjoy Marketplace. In turn, users spend their "FlixPoints™" within the app to watch feature length movies with big stars across all genres.

"This is a game-changing experience that we are excited to lead with PopcornflixGOLD, one of the leading movie streaming sites," said Tom Sipple, Vice President of Sales at Tapjoy. "We have long believed that the Tapjoy Mobile Value Exchange model that has worked so well for games translates well to premium content like movies."

"The development of this unique app with Tapjoy and Popcornflix is a first," said Gary Delfiner, President of Screen Media Digital, a division of Screen Media Ventures, LLC. "Combining high-quality feature films within a free-to-use model will kickstart a new development in how the viewer can access movies!"

PopcornflixGOLD™ allows film fans to search movies by genre, actor or director, select from the latest in new arrivals, choose from the site's most popular films or browse all of the movies. Films on PopcornflixGOLD™ feature work from some of Hollywood's most popular actors, including Brad Pitt, Kristen Stewart, Naomi Watts, Meryl Streep, Ryan Reynolds, Alec Baldwin, and many more. Each month PopcornflixGOLD™ will add an additional 30-40 movies.

PopcornflixGOLD™ was developed by Curious Brain, Screen Media Ventures, LLC, and Tapjoy.
