What?
In this time of economic turmoil when families are doing everything they can to stretch their hard earned dollars even further, Fox has decided it wants more money for it's entertainment.
"Fox effectively has enlisted in Universal's campaign against Redbox and other discount-rental chains by ordering wholesalers to stop supplying discs to Redbox kiosks during the first 30 days after Fox film and television titles hit the market." (reuters.com)
Why? Because the inexpensive $1.00 that Redbox charges for these films is not enough, with Fox blaming: "diminishing rental revenue and undermining DVD sales" (reuters.com).
It is true that even during the current economic situation, the entertainment industry has still done pretty well with families still spending money wanting an "escape" from the real. But everyone wants more for their money, right?
Where can you find a Redbox movie vending machine? Check out this FIND A REDBOX link.
And, if the $1.00 rental isn't enough to get you to try it, sign up for their free newsletter on their website to get FREE REDBOX MOVIE CODES!
Redbox has been a part of our family some time now, and we love it! So even if Fox has decided their movies won't be available during the first 30 days of release, we will still continue to rent from our local Redbox Movie Vending machine.
Happy $1.00 Movie Watching!
