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

I remember renting VHS and later dvd's.

It usually cost like 4 bucks

There used to be a video store near me that had a 444 deal. You could rent four movies for four days for four dollars.

in the USA for the longest time there was a chain of video stores by me called family video that you could rent seven movies for 7 days for 50 cent each

Both of these deals strictly applied to older titles without a "new release" sticker, meaning they are not applicable in this context.

if the context is value, then it does

It's usually $4 to rent a movie that's not in theaters. Barbie hasn't ended it's theater run.
