In an article at Video Business, Danny King reports:

NCR, which boosted its second-quarter sales 13% from a year earlier to $1.33 billion, looks to gain customers in a kiosk market that’s expected to pull sales from traditional movie-rental stores during the next few years. U.S. consumers will spend $800 million at kiosks by 2010, triple the amount spent last year, according to Convergence Consulting Group. Meanwhile, store rental revenue, estimated at $5.4 billion last year, will fall to $3.1 billion by 2010, according to Convergence.

Last month, NCR announced plans to build kiosks for both Blockbuster and The New Release/Moviecube. Blockbuster, the largest U.S. movie-rental chain, said NCR will make as many as 10,000 Blockbuster-branded installed machines by early 2010. The machines will let customers rent DVDs and eventually might let consumers buy discs and make digital downloads of certain titles, the companies said.
