Cord-cutting cinephiles, you are in for a treat this week as live TV streaming service Sling TV is making the FXM movies channel available for free from Monday, May 22 through Memorial Day, Monday, May 29.

This week, FXM is available to all new and current Sling customers who are signed up for either the Sling Blue or Sling Orange and Blue Combo package.

This week, Sling subscribers will be able to watch a collection of movies including “The Girl on the Train,” “Alien,” “The Sandlot 2,” and “The Secret Life of Pets 2,” and more.

No matter which Sling TV package you subscribe to, you will see an FXM content listing on your home screen automatically through the entire course of the promotional period.

If you end up falling in love with the movie selection on FXM, Sling Blue and Sling Combo subscribers will be able to the channel and the rest of the Hollywood Extra add-on package for just $3 for the first month. After the initial 30 days, the price for the add-on will be $6 monthly.
