Letterboxd Sets Early December Launch for Curated, Pay‑Per‑Title Video Store

The pay‑per‑title store will draw on member data to license films overlooked by major streamers.

Overview

  • The “Video Store” is a transactional rental feature inside Letterboxd, with no subscription or paywall required.
  • Catalog curation will target festival standouts without distribution, long‑watchlisted titles, restorations, and limited‑time drops.
  • Rentals will play across the web, iOS, Android, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast, and AirPlay, with more smart TV apps planned.
  • Letterboxd has not disclosed rental prices, windows, or the initial lineup, and it says availability and cost will vary by region.
  • Users will be able to rent directly from film pages as they browse reviews and lists, and the company invites title suggestions via tagged community lists.
