What to know
Redbox shutting down… Those big red DVD kiosks are going the way of the dodo — and in the process 1,000 people have lost their jobs and won’t be getting severance or extended benefits.

But to see it go out like this and leave so many people in the lurch is just sad. 📀
Kevin Costner’s Horizon Part 2 pulled from theatrical schedule… After part 1 of this epic Western franchise opened to just $11 million.
