Government intervention on minimum prices is the most common cause of abnormal market pricing. In general, the government will set a minimum on the prices of common goods. The online retailer renting the movie might like to charge less but may not be able to.

Lack of knowledge is an important factor in determining market prices. Retailers almost always assume that shoppers don't look around for a bargain and will generally charge whatever price they want.

Location is an important factor in determining market prices. For the online streaming service, the buyer doesn't even have to leave his or her home, while the physical copy would need to be picked up at the store. The online retailer can charge the same price for a lesser product because the retailer is conveniently located for the consumer.
