Redbox, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment company, will increase the number of catalog and niche titles in its kiosks to serve former Netflix DVD customers, according to a press release.

Netlix announced in a blog it will ship its final discs on Friday.

Redbox has been working to provide content that the former DVD.com audience will enjoy in its approximately 29,000 Redbox kiosks nationwide.

The titles will include hard-to-find films such as "Ugly Dolls," catalog titles including "Jerry Maguire," and films from third parties that include Vertical and Decal. These titles are in addition to the latest films from major studios, which will soon include the films "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie."

Starting Friday, Sept. 29, and running through Sunday, Oct. 1, Redbox will launch on X, formerly known as Twitter, the social media campaign "Show Us Your Red Envelope." DVD fans who respond to Redbox's tweet calling for customers to share photos of their Netflix Red Envelopes may receive a free movie night. Former DVD.com customers can also submit suggestions on the titles they want to rent in kiosks.
