It was just announced this week that Redbox, the modern movie rental giant, has benefitted substantially off of the gross mishandling of Neflix. In Capitola and Live Oak alone, there are six Redboxes. None have popped up in Soquel yet, but considering Redbox's colonization of the rest of the county, it could only be a matter of time.
Each week, Redbox.com lists the most popular rentals by location. This week, Transformers: Dark of the Moon was once again playing in more of your DVD players than any other movie. While there was no change at the top of the list, seven new arrivals made the top 20 this week. For some reason, Spooky Buddies is still on there.
See the top 20 below. The number in parentheses indicates last week's position on the list.
