Redbox Movie DVD sales represent a $16 billion market, and rentals make up another $7.5 billion. Naturally, production studios would prefer consumers purchase DVDs rather than rent them. Production studios like Twentieth-Century Fox, Warner Bros., and General Electric refused to sell new releases to Redbox, a DVD vending machine company, until almost a month after new releases arrived in stores. Redbox, the ubiquitous DVD rental red kiosks found in and outside of convenience stores, grocery stores, drugstores, fast-food restaurants, and Walmart, is cutting in on production companies’ profits. These studios are tangled in lawsuits with Redbox. Sony, Paramount, and Lionsgate, on the other hand, permit distribution through Redbox, and Disney allows third-party distribution to Redbox. With more than 20,000 kiosks now in operation, Redbox ranks fifth in DVD rental revenues, which is impressive considering the rental fee is only $1.00. But Blockbuster is trying to steal vending market share by allowing NCR Corporation, known for ATM machines, to license its name to place Blockbuster Express kiosks in similar types of locations. ____
