Does your local Redbox kiosk have Orphan & Drag Me to Hell?

[Grubert]

I'm asking because of this Video Business article related to Rebox and studio lawsuits:

Redbox lacks Orphan, Hell at many kiosks

Warner Home Video’s Orphan and Universal Studio Home Entertainment’s Drag Me to Hell were among titles released on DVD today that weren’t stocked at many Redbox machines across the country, according to a Video Business spot check of kiosks at retailers such as Albertson’s, 7-Eleven and Ralphs. Kiosks in California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas listed titles including Orphan, Hell and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment’s Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs under the heading of “Coming in October” but didn’t have physical copies. The latest Ice Age installment grossed almost $900 million in theaters worldwide after its July release, while Orphan and Hell grossed a combined $136 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com.

DVD copies of Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, the Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment title whose DVDs and Blu-ray discs went on sale today, were stocked at the kiosks that were checked.

The lack of availability reflects Redbox’s challenges in stocking titles from Warner, Fox and Universal, which prohibit the sale of their new DVD releases to kiosk operators such as Redbox until at least four weeks after their street date. Redbox has lawsuits against all three studios, which have taken issue with Redbox’s $1 a night rentals, and has had to arrange for so-called “workaround” agreements such as buying DVDs from retailers such as Walmart in order to stock machines on or near street date.
