It's a new release that's sure to bring smiles to movie fans by leaving them with a little something extra in their wallets. Today, Blockbuster Canada announced the national roll-out of a new way of renting that lowers the cost of new movie releases by almost 30 per cent when you rent for two nights.
Effective immediately, at all 459 Blockbusters across the country, customers looking to save can now choose to rent a new release movie for only $3.99 for two nights. For movie lovers looking to keep their movies out longer, Blockbuster Canada continues to offer the traditional seven-night rental option.
"Canadians are looking to stretch their dollars and our new way of renting delivers great home entertainment value," says Barry Guest, General Manager of Blockbuster Canada. "We're giving our customers the flexibility to enjoy movie rentals on terms that are most convenient for them, whether that's two nights at a much lower rental rate or through our traditional seven-night option if they want to keep their movies out longer."
How it Works
Renting your favourite home entertainment selection just got easier. With Blockbuster's new way of renting, Canadians can choose to bring home any movie, whether it is a DVD new release, Blu-ray new release, or DVD/Blu-ray favourites for a lower two-night rate. If customers wish to keep movies out longer than two nights, they can do so by choosing the traditional seven-night rental option.
