DEC. 8 | PHYSICAL: Minnesota-based Mosquito Productions is opening a handful of DVD rental kiosks in Minneapolis and Wisconsin, renting movies by the hour in a twist on the standard kiosk business model.
The kiosks rent new release DVDs at 6¢ an hour.
The company operates three BigBox DVD kiosks at college campuses in Wisconsin and has put its first in Minneapolis.
Kiosks offer new release DVD movies for 6¢ an hour, with Blu-ray Disc films available for 9¢ an hour. Catalog films are available for 4¢ an hour.
The company says it can offer more films in kiosks than competitors.
Customers also can search for films online and see which kiosks have those films.
