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

Dumb and Dumber To is a 2014 American buddy comedy film produced, co-written and directed by the Farrelly brothers. It is the third film in the Dumb and Dumber franchise, and serves as a sequel to the 1994 film Dumb and Dumber. The film stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, reprising their respective roles 20 years after the events of the first film, and follows the duo as they discover Harry has a daughter, who was set up for adoption as a baby by her single mother, leading them to journey on a cross-country road trip to locate her. First announced in October 2011, Dumb and Dumber To underwent a turbulent pre-production phase which included, at one point, Carrey withdrawing from the project, and Warner Bros. Pictures exiting the project; Warner Bros.'s New Line Cinema division received "in association with" credit, per their participation stake. The project was eventually taken on in 2013 by Red Granite Pictures and the film was shot later that year. Released on November 14, 2014, by Universal Pictures, the film received negative reviews from critics. It grossed $36.1 million on its opening weekend and over $169 million worldwide. On June 15, 2017, the United States Department of Justice charged that money used to produce the film was stolen from a Malaysian government investment fund. Red Granite Pictures denied knowingly accepting stolen money. Prosecutors also filed a Forfeiture Complaint in federal court to seize the rights of ownership to Dumb and Dumber To as well as the rights to the 2015 film Daddy's Home. Red Granite later made a $60 million settlement. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
