Despite not knowing Blockbuster's exact numbers Redbox spokeswoman Kristin Zanini said "we feel confident that we have surpassed them nationwide." Zanini wouldn't discuss how many rentals the kiosks have in a given month, but did indicate that in the 12 month period starting in June of last year they rented out 11 million movies. Each kiosk carries 500 new release DVDs, including between 100 and 150 different titles at a given time.
“Redbox offers a level of service and convenience that our competitors simply can’t provide,” said Gregg Kaplan, Redbox CEO. “Customers continue to embrace the Redbox service, and our proven technology and production timeline have allowed us to expand rapidly in the competitive home entertainment industry. We expect this growth to continue at a rapid pace through 2007 and beyond, as Redbox expands its leadership position and becomes a household name in communities nationwide.”
