So if you just wanted to movie for one night then you pay a dollar. Redbox is only good if you can get the movie and want to watch it that day. BB carries most of all the titles and although you pay 5 for a new release you can keep the movie for 2 weeks, that would be 15.12 for redbox. BB needs to think about the tough time consumers are having and offer promotions, like b1g1 or 3 for the price of one. They would get a lot more business. In Chicago, were I live only a few franchises have closed because redbox is often out of the new releases, so they still get a lot of customers. Plus they carry all the games and that were they still make money. I think bb should option the $1 rentals. So if you just wanted to movie for one night then you pay a dollar.

Wisconsin. Spoke to a (BB owned) BB store manager and she said she was sure that more franchised stores would be closing soon. She declined to comment on the effect Redbox was having on sales in her store. I used to be a power renter at BB. I would spend $10 to $20 every single Tuesday getting the new releases. Now I MIGHT go into BB if REDBOX was out of the new releases for the week. I spend roughly 90% less on movies and I am fine with waiting longer to rent new releases. I realize spending that much money on renting movies is ridiculous and it was the first thing I cut out of my budget when money was tight. 4 local franchised blockbusters have closed within the past 6 months in S.E.
