The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 Rhythm Section is a 2020 action thriller film directed by Reed Morano, with a screenplay by Mark Burnell based on his novel of the same name. Starring Blake Lively, Jude Law and Sterling K. Brown, it follows a grieving woman who seeks revenge after discovering that the plane crash that killed her family was a terrorist attack. It was released in the United States on January 31, 2020, by Paramount Pictures. It received mixed reviews, with critics generally praising Lively's performance but critical of the plot. It was a box-office bomb as it grossed $6 million against a $50 million budget, with the all-time worst wide-opening weekend for a film playing on over 3,000 screens. Two weeks later, it suffered the biggest-ever drop in screens when it was pulled from 2,955, with Paramount projected to lose $30–40 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
