How much do films cost at Pathé Thuis?
At Pathé Thuis you can rent or buy a film. When you rent a film, you can watch it for 48 hours after starting. You can rent a film from €1.99 to €5.99. You buy a film if you want to watch it multiple times. After purchase, you can watch the film as often as you want in the Pathé Thuis apps. You pay a higher price for buying a film, since this film can be watched unlimitedly. The price of a purchased film depends on the title.
We offer films in both SD and HD quality and in most cases HD is €1,- more expensive.
Our Premium films may differ from the (rental) price. These films have been added earlier and different rates apply to them. Any voucher and discount codes are therefore not valid for these films.

How does 'linking bank account' work?

If there is insufficient balance on your account, you will receive a reminder email from us after five days. You can use this email to pay the outstanding amount immediately. You will also find outstanding payments in your account.
In the meantime, your account will be blocked and you will not be able to rent or buy new films.
