Redbox was a major force in physical disc rentals for more than two decades, with bright red kiosks in grocery stores and big-box retailers across the U.S. This 2026 update keeps the historical “peak era” metrics people search for (kiosk counts, rentals, customer base, loyalty members) and adds a key reality check: Redbox’s kiosk network was widely reported as being shut down in 2024 as its parent company entered Chapter 7 liquidation.
Quick Answer (2026)
Redbox was widely reported to have begun shutting down its DVD rental business in July 2024, with its kiosk footprint described as roughly 24,000 kiosks at the time of the shutdown. Earlier company and media reporting from prior years cited 5B+ rentals, 40,000+ kiosks at peak, and a customer base in the tens of millions.

What Happened to Redbox?
In mid-2024, major outlets reported that Redbox’s parent company shifted its bankruptcy case to Chapter 7 liquidation, and that the Redbox kiosk business was shutting down. For readers searching “Redbox stats,” this means many commonly quoted kiosk counts and rentals are best understood as historical peak-era metrics, not current operating indicators.
