Rental Discs Still Preferred Over Digital

[Smokey]

I can't imagine getting my discs from a self-serve kiosk -- they would rarely have what I want since I watch very few 'B' movies or 1-2 year old blockbusters.

I think the main reason self serve kiosk such as RedBox still dominate physical rental business might be because of its convenient than selection. Redbox have kiosk set up in front of large grocery stores in our town, so you can go grocery shopping and rent a movie at same time

I think that reflects the simple reality that physical discs still dominate new releases. The content that goes over to streaming services is not what people want to watch. And transactional VOD is generally more expensive than a kiosk or B&M rental, and not necessarily convenient if the TV is not close to the internet connection.

Not to mention that disc still offer the best picture and sound quality.
