Redbox is trying its hand at online streaming again

Judging from the fact that most people don’t even know that Redbox and Verizon tried to release their own Netflix-killer back in 2013, known as Redbox Instant, I think it’s safe to say that it was a failure. Redbox isn’t giving up, however, and even though Redbox Instant has already been killed off, the company is going to try again with a new service, according to a report from Variety on Thursday. This new service will be called Redbox Digital, and it’s not going to directly compete with Netflix, which is definitely a smart move.
