Redbox is located in 12,000 retail locations, including McDonald’s outlets, Wal-Mart and Walgreens stores, and rents movies for $1 per night. It had filed for an IPO in May last year, but with this current move and market conditions, doesn’t look like that will happen anytime in the future. The company has also been in a scuffle with Universal Studios, where the NBCU-owned company had threatened to cut off Redbox’s supplies of movies from its stable, if the kiosk company continued to rent out the movies at the low price (more details on that here).
