There is currently no movie download service like iTunes (or Netflix) available for the Xoom. You basically have to convert your own movies and store them on your device.
Have a look in the video section on these forums for more details:
Motorola Xoom Video
What's the possibility for this service in the near future?
Well, the movie industry still believes that Digital Copies for Apple devices and Windows Mobile/Zune is the way to go, rather than actually looking at different markets like Android, so that would still be a while I guess.
Netflix is working on a Streaming client for its Instant-service, but no release schedule on that yet.
If you are into older movies and TV shows, you can always visit Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine for some free out-of-copyright streaming content (just tap the MP4 links)
Also try crackle.com. No new movies but there are some good old ones. Id love aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (keyboard poltergeist) service like itunes /netflix where I can just stream or download unlimited NEW movies for a monthly fee. I would pay 30 bucks for that!

Have a look there. Who knows what Google intends? Google Music has been rumored so that in combination with this could be several steps in the right direction. I prefer to be optimistic anyhow.
