Redbox had a lot going against it timing wise. Movies as a format were dying, consumers switching to streaming, pandemic reducing traffic, and the shitty deals they made to delay new releases and consumers going away from disc players in general. What really killed it was the attempt to do a streaming service. That was a suicidal desperation move that killed Redbox 5-10 year’s early. They could have limped on for quite a bit longer without that.
