First, does Video Buyers Group conduct randomized studies? If so, what’s the margin of error and the p-value? Please, us statisticans want to know becuase I assure you that Video Buyers Group is putting out stats that suggest Redbox is failing. If that were true, Redbox would be retrenching in its expansion plans. But, truth be told, they aren’t. They are still rolling out 1,000 boxes a month and they have 1) cut new deals with smaller studios 2) have been testing video games 3) can always offer a revenue share on blu ray movies if they demand allows them to charge a premium 4) basically, have a lot of options to their business plan.

The studios HAVE to deal with Redbox. Redbox is becoming one of the biggest buyers of dvds. Netflix is relying more on streaming. The consumer isn’t collecting physical media any more (ie records, dvds, magazines etc). Walmart has stated it will rely less on dvd sales. Thus, the studios WILL capitulate when they realize Redbox is their biggest customer.

If I can’t get it through redbox, I order it through netflicks, whichever gets to my house first is the one I watch, I almost never buy dvds.

My family is in this category as well. We’ll wait until redbox has it available to rent. We don’t go to the box office, our children are to small to enjoy it. After the rental, if we like the movie, then we’ll buy it. However, I don’t want to spend the $4 that others charge to rent it either, one night at $1.00 per night is plenty.
