OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. — Redbox, the DVD rental kiosk featuring new release rentals for $1 per night, recently exceeded 100 million rentals and 6,700 locations nationwide. Having recently surpassed Blockbuster in number of U.S. locations, redbox continues to experience unprecedented growth. Featuring patented rent-and-return anywhere technology, an unbeatable $1 per night price point and convenient retail locations, redbox is the home entertainment solution for more than 13 million customers nationwide.
 
“The foundation of redbox’s success is our ability to offer consumers an unmatched level of value and convenience,” said Gregg Kaplan, chief executive officer of redbox. “Our proven technology, unrivaled production timeline and dedicated workforce have allowed us to expand rapidly in the highly competitive home entertainment industry. As we explore new retail partners and continue to expand in new and established markets, redbox is rapidly becoming a household name.”
