Overview
- Video Store debuts in 23 countries with access via web, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, Android, Apple TV 4K, Chromecast, and AirPlay.
- The platform follows a transactional rental model with no subscription, with U.S. launch prices ranging from $3.99 to $19.99 and regional pricing that varies by title.
- An initial catalog of nine films is arranged on two shelves: Unreleased Gems, featuring titles without prior releases in specific territories for a 30‑day window, and Lost & Found, highlighting underseen films with strong community ratings and restorations.
- Launch titles include Sore: A Wife From the Future and The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (national Oscar submissions), Anurag Kashyap’s Kennedy, Alexander Ullom’s It Ends, 4K restorations of Tiger on the Beat and Kisapmata, Elia Suleiman’s It Must Be Heaven, Todd Haynes’ Poison, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Before We Vanish.
- Letterboxd frames the move as an evolution of its discovery mission to help distributors unlock value and give filmmakers direct access to engaged audiences, with additional shelves and smart TV apps planned.
