$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it… Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

    Man, I spent 15 bucks to watch it at the movie theatre. Why is the rent option more expensive than that? Even with the popcorn and drink I stayed below that.

      My only argument I can come up with is that other people have friends, so $25 will be less than going to the cinema because they don’t have to pay that price for each person watching. It’s still ridiculously expensive though.

        This is the logic publishers apply to libraries when they charge them more for books than general retail price.

        Don’t most friend groups pay for their own ticket?

        Who out there paying for a ticket for all their friends? And are they really friends at that point?

          Family sounds more likely in this case. Two adults and three kids could be like 50 euros for tickets unless the kids are small enough to sit in your lap.

      It’s less than 2 movie tickets and people usually don’t go to the theater alone.
