Letterboxd is launching Video Store in early December, a film rental platform integrated directly into the app and website. No subscription required — just rent individual titles when you want to watch them.
Key Details:
Community-curated shelves - The catalog is programmed using data from millions of user watchlists and reviews, focusing on festival standouts, long-requested titles, restorations, and limited-time drops of unreleased films.
Cross-platform access - Rentals work on web, iOS, Android, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast, and Airplay, with additional smart TV apps in development.
Regional pricing - Rental availability and cost vary by location, with Letterboxd working to expand global coverage.
No late fees - Users can suggest titles for the Video Store by creating a list and tagging it #video-store-recs.
This is Letterboxd's biggest move yet to close the loop between film discovery and actually watching what you've added to your watchlist. Instead of just tracking what you want to see, you can now rent it directly from the platform and immediately log it, review it, and add it to lists alongside the rest of the community.
