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

      Barbie was released on July 21, 2023. It’s still showing in theaters.

      It should get cheaper on the “normal” timeline for these things, which would be what 9 months? A year? From release.

      It’s not the platform. The movie is that much on them all. In a few months it will drop to $6 - 7 for rental.

      Renting a DVD or video game was like $3 at its peak here. There was a video store that had older movies that they would let you rent 5 movies for 5 nights for 5 dollars.

      It’s for people who don’t want to wait a few more months to pay $5.99 instead.
