Movie Night: Top 20 Redbox Rentals This Week

With Netflix (now Qwikster) in shambles since a price shake-up, Redbox is the modern movie rental giant. 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, Thor was playing in more of your DVD players than any other movie, while Something Borrowed came in at number two. Johnny Depp's Rango has held a spot in the top 20 since it came out on DVD in July. At number 20 this week though, it might finally be on its way out.
