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

One of the highest grossing movies of all time. They already made back their money and then some at the box office.

does sailing the high seas only mean dling or does it include streaming?

That's insane, I saw it at Montreal in the cinema for $14 CAD.

That's two hours of labor at minimum wage in a lot of States. I feel like I'd maybe pay $5 to watch it at home.

These happen all the time with digital "releases", they charge obscene amount for rental but the price comes down to regular amount in a few weeks. High prices for the most impatient.
