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
A Simple Favor is a 2018 American black comedy mystery film directed by Paul Feig from a screenplay by Jessica Sharzer, based on the 2017 novel by Darcey Bell. It stars Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, Henry Golding, and Andrew Rannells, and follows a small-town vlogger (Kendrick) who tries to solve the disappearance of her elegant and mysterious friend (Lively). The film's development began in 2016 when 20th Century Fox bought the rights to the novel. The following year, it was moved to Lionsgate with Feig hired to direct while Kendrick and Lively were cast in the leading roles. Filming took place in Toronto, Ontario and began in February 2017. A Simple Favor was released theatrically by Lionsgate in the United States on September 14, 2018. The film received generally positive reviews from critics for its plot twists and performances (especially that of Kendrick, Lively, and Golding). It grossed $97.6 million worldwide on a $20 million budget. A sequel, Another Simple Favor, was released on Amazon Prime Video on May 1, 2025, with Kendrick and Lively reprising their roles, and Feig returning as director. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
