The price hike follows the latest report on the company’s revenue for the third quarter. Outerwall posted revenue of $438 million for the three months ending in September, a decrease of 11 percent from the same time period last year. Redbox accounts for around 79 percent of Outerwall’s revenue with the majority of the remainder being made up from the Coinstar kiosks that the company also operates.
