"In a recent blog post, the company shared further details about "Video Store," which will feature a range of films. The selection will include "festival standouts" that haven't yet been widely distributed, films that have been largely unavailable but frequently watchlisted by users, recent restorations, and other special limited-time releases. Launching a video store feels like a natural evolution for Letterboxd, allowing users to rent movies instantly without having to navigate away from the platform."
"The movie selection will also be based on what members actually want to watch, using data from the platform's watchlists and activity. Rather than offering a random mix like some streaming services, the selection will feel more curated. Letterboxd has not yet announced the initial lineup of films or rental prices, but the company said users can expect rental availability and costs to vary by location. Notably, the platform won't operate on a subscription model, and there won't be late fees."
Letterboxd will introduce a Video Store in early December that lets users rent movies instantly within the platform. The catalog will include festival standouts, often-watchlisted unavailable films, recent restorations, and limited-time releases. Availability and rental pricing will vary by location. The store will not use a subscription model and will not charge late fees. Selection will be driven by member watchlists and activity to produce a more curated offering. Social features let users view friends' logs and reviews before renting. Initial device support includes iOS, Android, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast, and AirPlay, with additional smart TV apps planned.
