Bigscreen, the social VR viewing platform, introduced paid movies late last year so you could buy a ticket to join people in watching a number of 2D and 3D films at set times, working more or less like a physical movie theater. Although you’ll still be able to do that through special, one-time events, Bigscreen is adding on-demand movie viewing to the list today, letting you watch its catalog of films whenever you want.
Bigscreen’s ‘Movies & Events’ update launches today, effectively replacing the ‘Bigscreen Cinema’ update from December 2019, which brought to the platform for the first time weekly films accessible at continuous, fixed time slots.
A catalog of dozens of 2D and 3D films will now be available on-demand, which includes the ability to control playback like you would any streaming service. The new on-demand system gives you 48 hours to finish your selected movie once you’ve started it, and will be available in up to 10 countries starting from $3.99 per film. Check out Bigscreen’s catalog of movies here for more.
For now, rental theaters are private, however the studio says you’ll soon be able to host your own public movie screening too, provided everyone pays their own individual rental fee.
