Sony Pictures, Redbox Sign New Day-and-Date Agreement, Effective Next Month

Sony Pictures video titles will be available at Redbox kiosks the same day as retail sell-through dates, under a new distribution agreement, said the companies in a news release. The agreement takes effect next month, they said. Redbox announced a similar pact with Lionsgate earlier this month. In July, Redbox signed a deal with 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment making that studio's content available for Redbox DVD rentals seven days after retail sell-through dates.
