The specter of a possible retail window for new release packaged media could significantly impact DVD rental kiosk market leader Redbox's revenue by 50%, an analyst said. The day after Coinstar Inc, parent of Redbox, disclosed that the kiosk vendor in the most recent quarter had weathered select studio challenges bruised but not beaten, Richard Greenfield, analyst with Pali Capital in New York, issued a note predicting growing storm clouds for the kiosk vendor It should be noted that Greenfield remains a staunch critic (and one of the few) of the $1 DVD rental, spearheaded by Redbox — a market changing price the analyst suggests could send the movie business into the abyss Greenfield said Redbox's business model devalues home entertainment to near penny status and makes alternative distribution formats such as DVD/Blu ray sellthrough, in store and subscription rental, video on demand, and even theatrical appear overpriced "All of the companies we cover in the movie industry will suffer," he wrote in a note

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT) - Richard Greenfield at Pali Research

They may be able to work around the margins by getting copies from retailers that are not cutting buys, but that is a lot harder than walking from the Wal mart counter to the kiosk to load new release discs Again, whether or not this is some sort of conspiracy will need to be proven in court, but it may be that retailers have a legitimate business reason for limiting kiosks such as Redbox and e Play (which this week suspended operations and pulled tests at Wal Mart and Best Buy) The kiosk relationship may not be as beneficial to Wal Mart as it has been in the past, noted Pali Equity Research analyst Richard Greenfield in discussing the buy limit policy
