You Won't Believe The Most Popular Redbox Rental Of 2011

Adam Sandler Jennifer Aniston

While this year’s theater-goers preferred big-budget franchise films, it seems at-home viewers were feeling a bit rosier. At least those renting from a Redbox kiosk.

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston’s romantic blunder, “Just Go With It,” took the top prize of Redbox’s most-rented film of 2011.

Perhaps the flick has Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker in a teeny bikini to thank for that?

But it was good news for Sandler, considering his last flop, “Jack and Jill,” churned out little at the box office other than this gem.

Following behind the A-list rom-com were similarly-themed and celeb-filled films, “No Strings Attached,” “Rango,” “The Dilemma,” and “Due Date.”

Interestingly, Blockbuster’s Express kiosks Top 10 Rentals of 2011 differs vastly from Redbox’s, with “Bridesmaids” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I” topping the list. The entirety contains a completely different set list of films.

However, Blockbuster only operates approximately 10,000 kiosks, compared to Redbox’s 40,000 nationwide.

While Redbox renters preferred comedies with a few thrillers thrown in the mix, Blockbuster kiosk customers are apparently reading Rotten Tomatoes and judging percentages.

Check out the varying top ten rentals below.
