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.

Originally scheduled for theatrical release in the United States on October 1, 2021, the film's release was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sony Pictures sold distribution rights to Amazon Studios for $100 million. The film was released on Amazon Prime Video on January 14, 2022, and received mixed reviews from critics. A fifth film, titled The Haunting of Hotel Transylvania, is scheduled to be released on October 8, 2027. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
