How do I buy a movie for someone else?

Since the iTunes Store is gone for movies, I went to apple tv to buy a movie as a gift for someone. All of the suggested ways I’ve read about say I should click the share button and select gift, but that is not an option any longer. How can I buy a movie for someone else now? Thanks for some help ☺️

* You can't gift movies or TV shows anymore on a Mac or Windows PC, on an iPhone running iOS 17.2 or later, on an iPad running iPadOS 17.2 or later, or on an Apple TV running tvOS 17.2 or later.


If you don’t have an Apple mobile device with older OS, then you could send a (generic) electronic gift card for the amount (plus taxes, where applicable). Apple Gift Card - Apple
