Letterboxd will launch The Video Store on December 10 with nine films across two curated shelves drawn from nine countries. Offerings include a Todd Haynes deep cut, a restored Filipino classic, Chile and Indonesia's submissions for the 98th Academy Awards, a 2025 SXSW hit, and an Indian neo-noir thriller unavailable since its 2023 Cannes debut. The platform uses a transactional video-on-demand (TVOD) model with no subscription needed and curates shelves using millions of watchlists, reviews, and behavioral signals. Titles were selected for member demand while preserving space for discovery. The service supports TV, web, iOS, and Android playback and varies pricing by film and country.
