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.
How it feels

What happens
Detroit is a 2017 American historical crime drama film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal. It stars John Boyega, Will Poulter, Algee Smith, Jason Mitchell, John Krasinski, and Anthony Mackie. Based on the Algiers Motel incident during Detroit's 1967 12th Street Riot, the film's release commemorated the 50th anniversary of the event. The film premiered at Detroit's Fox Theatre on July 25, 2017, and began a limited theatrical release on July 28, before opening wide on August 4. It received positive reviews from critics, with particular praise given to Bigelow's direction, Boal's script, and the performances of Poulter, Boyega, and Smith, but was a box office failure, only grossing $24 million against its $34 million budget.
