Oh God, I am so sorry you went out on that one. Ya went down with the ship, matey.
We were of everyone in there. Waiting for someone to cough or sniffle.
Judas and the Black Messiah is on HboMax in the U.S, only. I'm in Canada so I had to pay to rent it. It's an excellent film and I would definitely recommend it.

I understand the price accounting for multiple viewers, but where is the math behind this? Do they know that nobody watches movies by themself.

First blush is these films would do better @ $10.
Yeah, I rented Promising Young Woman for 24.99. I loved the film so I don't regret it. I also rented News of the World for 24.99 when it first came out. That was good, but not great. Most recently, I rented Judas nd the Black Messiah for 24.99. It was excellent.
I thought JatBM was on HBOMax.
I tend to buy digital stuff from Amazon. If there's a price difference, it's typically Amazon that has the lower price. (This is especially true for music.) Then I can watch on pretty much any device/TV I use for streaming, and I can also download to a Fire tablet for viewing offline (such as on planes or trains).

We also subscribe to Prime, Netflix, Hulu, and we still have cable TV so we have HBO Max and things like Showtime Anytime through that. And yet we tend to watch the same three or four channels anyway. (Hubby is reticent to cut the cable cord, though I'm long past ready.)
I swear, I have gotten 3 times as many trouble tickets as everyone else this past month. I'm convinced they got me setup as the default assignee.

I do really like Amazon Prime, although the Criterion Channel is my favourite streaming service.
If I had Criterion, that would be my number #1 with Amazon behind it.
I aim to hopefully subscribe to it by the end of the year.

I just stick with Amazon. I don't rent newer releases often though as the prices are kind of high IMO. But I do sub to Netflix, HBO, and Amazon Prime. Between the three I'm satisfied with their available options.
If it's only in one place, obviously there. If it's in more than one, the cheapest, though very often it's the same price (sometimes it's $1 cheaper somewhere, though). If everything is totally equal...then Google Play, since a lot of stuff is tied into my Google account and I find their app to be among the more stable for casting/renting/downloading.
