King's Speech, Black Swan, etc.True, and I would agree that if we take that list, certainly BO receipts for some of those films were slightly underwhelming. In past years the admissions for JGWI, Dilemma, NSA, Lincoln Lawyer and IANF would've been higher. Rango I think people might've checked out because it was supposed to be good.

rockNrollaDIM Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 How much money studios make from rentals ?I have no idea, it's something I've been wondering forever. There must be some type of model.... or does Redbox really just purchase all these DVD's/Blu-Rays and doesn't have to pay any royalties regardless of popularity? Think about it, if they buy the DVD for $12 and then rent it out 300+ times over the course of a year at $1 a night, well you do the math- that's a huge profit margin. However I do notice with Netflix/Redbox that alot of times the DVD is grey and it says "rental copy" and many times it's a bare-bone copy with no special features... so I imagine there is some kind of deal... maybe the studios sell them at a cheaper price in exchange for royalty?

Gopher Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 One legitimately good movie (Rango) on the Redbox list. Three passable ones (Due Date, Lincoln Lawyer, Despicable Me). The rest, crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
