Letterboxd Sets Early December Launch for Curated In‑App Movie Rentals

The service uses member activity to surface films that traditional streamers overlook.

Overview

  • Letterboxd confirmed its Video Store will debut in early December as a rental feature integrated into the app and website.
  • The offering is transactional TVOD/PVOD with pay‑per‑title rentals, requiring no subscription or paywall.
  • Curation will draw on millions of user watchlists and reviews to prioritize festival standouts, long‑watchlisted titles, restorations and limited‑time drops.
  • Rented films will be playable on the web, iOS, Android, Apple TV and Android TV, with Chromecast and AirPlay support and more smart TV apps planned.
  • Initial lineup, pricing, streaming formats and rental window lengths remain undisclosed and will vary by region, and users can propose titles via the #letterboxd-video-store tag.
