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

Renting a DvD / Blueray was like 7$, going to the movies is 10-15$, why TF is this platform so expensive??
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 pre release. You can often get streaming copies prior to the street date, but it's generally quite expensive.
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 not the platform. The movie is that much on them all. In a few months it will drop to $6 - 7 for rental.
It's for people who don't want to wait a few more months to pay $5.99 instead.
corporate greed.
