\"Redbox<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember Redbox<\/strong>? When video stores went belly-up and streaming took over, Redbox was a nice alternative, providing automated retail kiosks that dished out physical discs. Truth be told, I kind of forgot they even existed, but Redbox is still very much alive, and now they\u2019re launching a free streaming service. Redbox launched a streaming service called\u00a0Redbox On Demand in 2017, but this new service will be ad-supported, so you won\u2019t have to pay to watch.<\/p>\n

As the landscape for movie watching continues to shift, Redbox has decided to adapt or die. The\u00a0video rental company is launching a new streaming service called Free On Demand, which offers\u00a0hundreds of titles arriving weekly \u201ccurated to the tastes of Redbox audiences.\u201d In a press release, Redbox says that the service will include \u201cfan favorites, cult classics and popular titles.\u201d So far, titles available include Trespass<\/em>,\u00a0Lord of War<\/em>,\u00a0The Illusionist<\/em>,\u00a0Haywire<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Maggie<\/em>, according to Deadline.
\nRegarding the move,\u00a0Chris Yates, GM of\u00a0Redbox<\/span>\u00a0On Demand, said: \u201cToday\u2019s audiences are fueling an unprecedented demand for premium quality on-demand content that is free with advertising. We expect to see continued growth in\u00a0AVOD, making Free on Demand a significant addition to our free streaming platform.\u201d The service is currently available on\u00a0Roku, iOS, Android mobile and TVs, and Vizio, with LG, Xbox, Samsung, and Google Chromecast.<\/p>\n

Redbox was founded in 2002, but didn\u2019t start renting out DVDs until 2004. The service had kiosks, usually set up at supermarkets, drug stores, and convenience stores, where you could rent new-ish movies<\/a>. You could also rent video game<\/a>s for a while, but the company has phased video game rentals out. By 2012, Redbox had 42,000 kiosks at more than 34,000 locations, offering up physical media<\/a> rentals that you could return to any Redbox location. As streaming became more and more prominent, Redbox rentals declined. The company launched Redbox On Demand in 2017. Earlier this year, they also launched Redbox Free Live TV, which offers 89 channels.<\/p>\n

While I can\u2019t remember the last time I heard someone talk about Redbox, I do give the company credit for being willing to evolve with the ever-changing times. Brick and mortar video stores that failed to heed the winds of change ended up going bust, and with more and more people stuck at home these days, streaming is becoming more prominent than ever. While the quality of the titles on Redbox Free On Demand may not be super exciting, they\u00a0are<\/em> free, and that\u2019s always a plus.<\/p>\n
