There are many streaming services which act like video rental stores. You don’t subscribe to them. Instead, you browse their selection and decide if you want to rent a movie to watch. Most movies will be between $3-6 depending on popularity. Once you pay, you have a day or two to finish watching it. Some of these services are Vudu, Fandango, Google Play, and RedBox. They are free to add to your streaming device, so it’s no problem to check out what they have.
That’s where all the new release movies will be. The studios want to get all the rental money they can before letting Netflix have it.
