Coinstar, owner of the Redbox DVD-rental machines, said it hasn’t agreed to Time Warner’s effort to double a 28-day delay in making new Warner Bros. movies available for rental.
No revised terms have been reached, Coinstar said Friday in an e-mailed statement, referring to reports that said a new accord with Warner Bros. established a 56-day delay for new movies. A deal for a 28-day delay on new films expires Jan. 31, according to Marci Maule, a Coinstar spokeswoman.
The standoff with Warner Bros. may signal Coinstar plans to skirt the delay by buying DVDs from third parties, said Eric Wold, a analyst with B. Riley & Co.
