Rental Exclusivity Window

At BLOCKBUSTER, we're all about bringing you the movies you want, when you want them. So when some of the major movie studios instituted a 28-day waiting period for new release rentals, it gave us a big frowny face, like this

Luckily, we love the good folks at the studios. We think they're smart, attractive people with really nice families. We worked with them to ensure that we're able to bring you the hottest new releases as soon as they're available. As a result, we'll not only have new releases available to rent in our stores from the first day of release, but also by mail, via download, and on select electronic devices.

Companies like Redbox and Netflix can't rent those movies to you until 28 days after they're released on DVD and Blu-ray. It's kind of a big deal.
