The Box is a 2009 American science-fiction thriller film written, produced, and directed by Richard Kelly, and starring Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, and Frank Langella. It is based on the 1970 short story "Button Button" by Richard Matheson. The film follows a couple (Diaz and Marsden) receive a box from a mysterious man (Langella) who offers them one million dollars if they press the button sealed within the dome on top of the box but tells them, once the button is pushed, someone they don't know will die. The film was released on November 6, 2009, by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $33.3 million worldwide against a budget of $30 million, but has subsequently developed a cult following over time alongside Kelly's other feature films.

How to watch it together from different places
Each of you opens The Box on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
