Tonight Apple released Aliens vs. Predator:Requiem and Juno as HD AVD (Apple Video Download) rentals. Along with those titles we also get Casino and Immortal Beloved in HD.
It looks like Apple jumped the gun with Juno being rentable and has now removed their claim from the banner in the iTunes Store.
According to the iTunes Store Juno is now available as a rental, all though as of this posting when you click on the banner it still shows up as a purchase only. Apple TV still shows purchase only as well. I will keep you posted.
Well, we are getting to the point where we should start to see Apple release some of it’s digital video purchase only titles to rent, such as There Will Be Blood and Walk Hard. As of now, those titles are past the 30 day waiting period. We’ll see how long Apple holds on to to those titles being purchase only. Personally, what I am really interested in, is to see if Apple is given the opportunity to sell or rent the Indiana Jones trilogy which is released on DVD tomorrow. Below is a list of yet to be released rental titles, most of which are past the 30 day rental mark, and a few DVD titles set to be released on the 13th.

Apple Movie Junkie, formerly Apple TV Junkie, is the official blog of Cinemira. We provide a helpful service for users of the iTunes Movie Store and the Apple TV. AMJ was born out of a surprising shortcoming on the Apple TV after noticing that there was no easy way to find a list of all new HD & SD rental titles released on a daily basis. AMJ fills that niche with a daily list of new movies.
