The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Fighter is a 2010 American biographical sports drama film directed by David O. Russell, and stars Mark Wahlberg (who also produced), Christian Bale, Amy Adams, and Melissa Leo. The film centers on the lives of professional boxer Micky Ward (Wahlberg) and his older half-brother and former boxer Dicky Eklund (Bale). The film was inspired by the 1995 documentary featuring the Eklund-Ward family titled High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell. The Fighter was theatrically released in the United States on December 17, 2010, by Paramount Pictures, and internationally by The Weinstein Company. The film grossed $129 million worldwide on a budget of $11–25 million and received positive reviews, with critics praising the cast performances; many commented that Bale's physical transformation, accent, and mannerisms made for one of the greatest performances of that year. The Fighter earned Bale and Leo awards for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress at various ceremonies including the Academy Awards, the Critics' Choice Awards, the Golden Globe Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards, in addition to nominations at the British Academy Film Awards.
