Chromebooks now have ability to play Google Play Store movies

If you were already in the dev or beta channels, you have the update, but those in the stable release channel had to wait until this week.

Also included was a better app list, and a number of bug fixes.

Unfortunately, one of those bug fixes has caused some consumers from connecting to Wi-Fi, so Google has temporarily stopped pushing it.

Regardless, if you are a CR-48 or Chromebook owner, you should be able to watch your purchased/rented movies soon enough.
