According to an article in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Redbox has recently made deals with several top movie studios. This comes at a time when things seems to be getting worse with Universal…
Why would these top studios – Disney, Sony and Lionsgate – make these deals? Well, it seems DVD sales are down about 14% so far in 2009, and these studios would rather sell DVDs to Redbox then no one.
What these deals actually mean for Redbox is unclear, but it is likely Redbox will be getting DVDs from these studios at a better price than they were previously, giving them better margins, which means higher profits.
I am sure Redbox would like to secure some exclusive deals from certain studios in the future, similar to the deal Blockbuster has had with The Weinstein Company for the past few years. This would really put Redbox over the top and cause them to continue to gain ground over Blockbuster.

For now, though, Redbox just needs to be able to secure more new releases than they have been.

What movies have been released lately that you wish Redbox had?
Wish I could get “The Unborn.”
Coraline was just posted added to redbox.com, so should be in machines today or tomorrow.
Just watched it yesterday, but now Fast and Furious isn’t listed on the site! Stupid Universal!
the unborn i had to pay $4 at hollywood video, and coraline :(
I WISH THEY WOULD GET TV SHOWS
Whomever wrote this doesn’t know how to use the words “then”, “them” and “than”.
It should be Whoever, not whomever.
It should be Whoever, not Whomever.
Oh no! Someone call the grammar police!!
I noticed that as well.
I wish they had the unborn & coraline
Coraline is in Redbox today
Coraline is not even out yet
Netflix claims it was released yesterday and they have shipped it to customers.
It came out today in retail and rental stores.
plus the unborn was rated one of the worst movies out it had rated a 12 out of 100 on rottentomatoe.com so they saved money there
Looks like i’ll have to go to Family Video and get “Fast and Furious” next Tuesday. It’s a Universal movie.
Final Prison Break series.
big lot is sellign prison break $1 each dvd . i brought the whole final season cheap
Try Blockbuster!! In Houston new releases are $2.00/ night!!! Old movies are $1.00/ night.
That’s a strange coincidence. Redbox also lets you get old movies for $1.00/night.
… Ohhhhhh.
Hahaha! Oh man, that was great…
If you have 7Eleven stores in your area, they have the Unborn and
will be getting Fast and Furious next week. They rent movies for
$1 a day, like Redbox, so you can get it cheap.
(Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Missouri)
Family Video’s $2.59 price tag ( for 2 days rental) makes me want
to wait until they lower it to $1 ( a month later).
I too would like to see Redbox get more TV Shows. Hopefully they can strike
a deal with Fox ( Prison Break, Dollhouse, House, Family Guy) and
get more in the kiosks. Certainly the Disney deal will net more
ABC Studios stuff, possibly TV ( Grey’s anantomy, Private Practice?)
I hope….
The 7Eleven stores in my area (DFW,Texas) have Redboxes so what kiosks do they have in your area at the 7Elevens?
I’ve yet to see a Redbox (or any other kiosk) at a 7-11 in Oklahoma City.
Instead there is a rack of DVD covers along one wall. You take the cover to the clerk and they hand you the DVD (which is kept behind the counter.)
Thanks for the info, I didn’t know some 7Elevens rented movies.
How funny…. it never occurred to me that they didn’t ALL rent DVDs. : )
I don’t know what is going on, but it is major!
Even Netflix, after a small complaint I had sent them by phone;
they send me:
4 or the newest DVD releases…
Haunting in Conn.
Watchmen
Coraline
Oooweee, am stoked,
not having to wait weeks for these new releases…
Keep it up RedBox you are making changes
for the good for all of us!!!!
Love it!
Oh yes, and
S. Darko!
that’s too bad, because some new releases by redbox are disappointed like Backwoods, a low budget independent movie. Although, if redbox has more contract with studios there’s probably not enough room for the 700 movies in one machines with popular titles, and usually redbox movies good for rent is 3months long..what they do with the old movies that didn’t sell or no longer renting?
some redbox kiosks sell movies for $7
would someone please tell me how to buy movies from redbox i never saw them on sale here in Atlanta Ga
You go to the kiosk and buy them! What’s so difficult about that?
not all kiosk have the software update or have been loaded with ones for direct sell, that is what is so hard about that.
I am pretty new with this redbox thing, but I am trying to find out why the kiosks all say fast and furious released today but I can’t find it anywhere or on the website. Does anyone know what is going on with this?
Heres some movies they never got that they should have:
1. The Echelon Consiracy
2. The Great Buck Howard
3. The Fall
4. S. Darko
5.The Sensation of Sight
6. Sarah Landon and the Paranormal Hour
7. Special
8. The Burrowers
9. The Last Word
T.V. shows aren’t worth renting unless you get a whole season at a time.
Oh, and Redbox REALLY needs to figure out a way to give you BOTH discs when a movie is released that way. I hate not seeing all the special fetures on the second discs of movies.
