Release
I think it says release... and that the wall was originally longer, and maybe said 'New Release'.
DVD shops are a staple here... but I've never seen any for rental. Why? Because Indonesia, and South East Asia generally, are known as hotbeds of movie and software piracy.
So there are many DVD stores anywhere tourists might go, and the DVDs are terribly low quality copies of the latest Hollywood blockbusters, sometimes available before you can see them in the theatres, and usually costing a dollar or less.
I asked in one of these stores once what might work if I wanted a LOT of movies, and he quoted me around 10c each if I brought in a hard drive!
Covid has closed most of these places down, by the way. No one is sure if they will resurface... but if there's a market, you can be sure there's a seller!
