With Crave releasing the viral Britney Spears documentary "Framing Britney" last week, the streaming service will be releasing another big title, the highly anticipated "Zack Snyder's Justice League" on March 18. Just in time for this big release, Crave is now available for 50% off for three months on all monthly plans. The offer is available now through March 31 for first-time subscribers who subscribe directly through Crave.
