Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The unaudited consolidated financial information included herein has been prepared by Outerwall Inc., pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Outerwall Inc. included herein reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial information as of December 31, 2014, is derived from our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Form 8-K filed on May 8, 2015. The consolidated financial statements included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Form 8-K filed on May 8, 2015. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Outerwall Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. Investments in companies of which we may have significant influence, but not a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reclassifications To be consistent with our 2015 reporting, the following have been retrospectively reported in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for all periods presented with no effect on net income, cash flows or stockholder's equity: • Results of our Redbox Canada operations which were discontinued during the first quarter of 2015. See Note 12: Discontinued Operations for additional information; • Restructuring and lease termination costs. See Note 11: Restructuring for additional information; and • Basic and diluted earnings per share as a result of applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share (the “Two-Class Method”). During the first quarter of 2015, the Two-Class Method became significantly more dilutive than the previously applied treasury stock method as a result of stock repurchases increasing the average number of unvested restricted awards (“participating securities”) as a percentage of total common shares outstanding. The impact of applying the Two-Class Method on both income from continuing operations and basic and diluted weighted average shares used to calculate earnings per common share is as follows: As Reported Under the Treasury Stock Method Amount Allocated to Participating Securities As Revised Under the Two-Class Method Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended In thousands, except per share data September 30, 2014 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2014 Income from continuing operations used in basic per share calculation $ 22,123 $ 73,562 $ (739 ) $ (2,294 ) $ 21,384 $ 71,268 Income from continuing operations used in diluted per share calculation $ 22,123 $ 73,562 $ (731 ) $ (2,253 ) $ 21,392 $ 71,309 Weighted average shares used in basic per share calculation 18,798 20,792 — — 18,798 20,792 Weighted average shares used in diluted per share calculation 19,147 21,372 (126 ) (186 ) 19,021 21,186 Basic earnings per common share from continuing operations $ 1.18 $ 3.54 $ (0.04 ) $ (0.11 ) $ 1.14 $ 3.43 Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations $ 1.16 $ 3.44 $ (0.04 ) $ (0.07 ) $ 1.12 $ 3.37 See Note 13: Earnings Per Share for additional information. Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Current Year In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity . ASU 2014-08 changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the ASU discontinued operations is defined as a: • Component of an entity, or group of components, that ◦ has been disposed of, meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale, or has been abandoned/spun-off and ◦ represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results, or a ◦ business or nonprofit activity that, on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08 during the first quarter of 2015 and applied the guidance to our disposition of our Redbox operations in Canada (“Redbox Canada”). See Note 12: Discontinued Operations for additional information. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted There have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our consolidated financial statements, from those disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except for the following: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 sets forth a new revenue recognition model that requires identifying the contract, identifying the performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (Subtopic 835-30) . This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, instead of as a deferred charge. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (Subtopic 835-30) . This ASU provides additional guidance to ASU 2015-03, which did not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. ASU 2015-15 noted that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-03 and 2015-15, which are effective for us in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . This ASU provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance will not change GAAP for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-05, which is effective for us in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016, and do not expect this standard to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Early adoption is permitted.

Organization And Business [Abstract]
Organization and Business	Note 2: Organization and Business Description of Business We are a leading provider of automated retail solutions offering convenient products and services that benefit consumers and drive incremental retail traffic and revenue for retailers. During the first quarter of 2015: • To align with a change in how our chief operating decision maker evaluates business performance, we added ecoATM, our electronic device recycling business, as a separate reportable segment. Previously, the results of ecoATM along with those of other self-service concepts were included in our New Ventures segment. The combined results of the other self-service concepts, which include our product sampling kiosk concept SAMPLE it , are included in the All Other reporting category as they do not meet quantitative thresholds to be reported as a separate segment. See Note 14: Business Segments and Enterprise-Wide Information for additional information; and • We discontinued our Redbox operations in Canada as the business was not meeting our performance expectations. We have reclassified the results of Redbox Canada to discontinued operations for all periods presented in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income . See Note 12: Discontinued Operations for additional information. Our core offerings in automated retail include our Redbox, Coinstar and ecoATM segments. Our Redbox segment consists of self-service kiosks where consumers can rent or purchase movies and video games. Our Coinstar segment consists of self-service coin-counting kiosks where consumers can convert their coins to cash or stored value products. We also offer self-service kiosks that exchange gift cards for cash under our Coinstar™ Exchange brand. Our ecoATM segment consists of self-service kiosks where consumers can sell electronic devices for cash. In addition to our three reportable segments, we also conduct business activities through other self-service concepts, where we identify, evaluate, build or acquire and develop innovative new self-service retail concepts and regularly assess these concepts to determine whether continued funding or other alternatives are appropriate. Our kiosks are located primarily in supermarkets, drug stores, mass merchants, convenience stores, financial institutions, malls and restaurants. Our kiosk and location counts as of September 30, 2015 , are as follows: Kiosks Locations Redbox 40,790 33,310 Coinstar 21,110 19,910 ecoATM 2,210 1,980 All Other 110 110 Total 64,220 55,310

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Note 6: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill We assess goodwill for potential impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of November 30, or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, it became evident that revenue and profitability trends in our ecoATM reporting unit were not being achieved as expected. For example collection rates, revenue and profitability on a per kiosk basis experienced declines versus prior periods and expected seasonal trends. As a result, we revised our internal expectations for future revenue growth and profitability lower than our previous estimates. This is primarily driven by certain challenges in an increasingly competitive industry which impact the per kiosk device collection, revenue and profitability expectations and the timing and installation of kiosks. Further, while these competitive challenges grew more acute during the second quarter, we also experienced the loss of a key executive at ecoATM. This led to an indication in the second quarter of 2015 that ecoATM’s fair value was more likely than not below its carrying value. As a result, we performed the first step of the goodwill impairment test with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist. The first step of the impairment test was completed by comparing the carrying value of ecoATM, including goodwill, to its fair value determined using a weighted combination of a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) income based approach and a guideline public company market based approach. The DCF methodology requires significant judgment in selecting appropriate inputs including the risk adjusted market cost of capital for the discount rate, the terminal growth rate and projections of future cash flows, all of which are inherently uncertain. The guideline public company method involves significant judgment in selecting the appropriate inputs including the peer company group, the selection of relevant multiples and the determination of a reasonable control premium. Due to these significant judgments, the fair value determined in connection with the goodwill impairment test may not necessarily be indicative of the actual value that would be recognized in a future transaction. Completion of the first step of the impairment test determined that the carrying amount of ecoATM exceeded its fair value and that the second step of the impairment test needed to be performed. Under the second step of the impairment test, we completed the process of estimating the fair value of ecoATM’s assets and liabilities, including intangible assets consisting of developed technology, trade name and covenants not to compete for the purpose of deriving an estimate of the implied fair value of goodwill. The estimate of the implied fair value of goodwill was then compared to the recorded goodwill to determine the amount of the impairment. Significant assumptions used in measuring the value of these assets and liabilities included the discount rates and obsolescence rates used in valuing the intangible assets, and replacement costs for valuing the tangible assets. The inputs and assumptions used in our goodwill impairment test are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Based on the result of the second step of the goodwill impairment analysis, we recognized a non-cash, non-tax deductible charge for goodwill impairment of $85.9 million related to our ecoATM business segment in the second quarter of 2015. As a result of the impairment recorded, the estimated fair value of the ecoATM reporting unit equaled its carrying value as of June 30, 2015. The estimate of ecoATM's fair value includes key assumptions with inherent uncertainty which may change in future periods and have a negative effect on the fair value resulting in potential future impairments, the most significant of which is our estimate of future cash flows predicated on estimated growth in kiosks, revenue and profitability measures. Additionally, fair value may be negatively impacted by changes in our strategy related to ecoATM and increased competition from companies whose primary business consists of the purchase of used electronics and with companies in other businesses who also have buyback programs.

Awards granted to employees and executives vest annually in equal installments over four years . Non-employee director awards vest one year after the grant date. Performance-based restricted stock awards are granted to executives only, with established performance criteria approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The fair value of non-performance-based awards is based on the market price on the grant date. We estimate forfeitures for restricted stock awards and recognize share-based compensation expense for only those awards expected to vest. Awards of performance-based restricted stock made prior to 2013, once earned, vest in equal installments over three years from the date of grant. Awards of performance-based restricted stock made in and subsequent to 2013, once earned, vest in two installments over three years from the date of grant ( 65% of the award vests two years from the date of grant and the remaining 35% of the award vests three years from the date of grant). The restricted shares require no payment from the grantee. The fair value of performance-based awards is based on achieving specific performance conditions and is recognized over the vesting period.

Rights to Receive Cash As a part of the acquisition of ecoATM, we issued replacement awards for unvested restricted stock and options in ecoATM with rights to receive cash equal to the per share merger consideration for restricted stock and net of the exercise price for options. The replacement awards vest in accordance with the terms of the original replaced award. The replacement awards are considered liability classified as they represent rights to receive cash. Expense associated with the post-combination awards is recognized net of forfeitures, and cash payments are made in accordance with the awards' vesting schedule, generally on a monthly basis. We recognized $3.8 million in expense associated with the issuance of rights to receive cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The expected future recognition of expense associated with the rights to receive cash as of September 30, 2015 is as follows: Dollars in thousands Expected Expense Remainder of 2015 $ 639 2016 2,156 2017 335 Remaining total expected expense $ 3,130

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring	Note 11: Restructuring During the first quarter of 2015, we recorded restructuring charges arising from the following activities: • Discontinuing our Redbox operations in Canada. The disposal was completed on March 31, 2015. See Note 12: Discontinued Operations for further information; • Reducing the size of our Redbox headquarters facility in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois through early termination of operating leases for certain floors. We ceased using the office space on March 31, 2015 and the effective date of the early termination is July 31, 2016. Prior to exercising our early termination option, the leases had been scheduled to expire in July 2021; and • Implementing actions to further align costs with revenues in our continuing operations primarily through workforce reductions across the Company and subleasing a floor of a corporate facility. There were no significant restructuring charges in the third quarter of 2015 or 2014. The total amount incurred for restructuring, exclusive of asset impairments incurred by reportable segment (on an allocated basis) and expense type is as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, Dollars in thousands 2015 2014 Redbox Severance $ 3,701 $ 534 Lease termination costs (excluding related asset impairments) 4,567 — Total Redbox restructuring costs 8,268 534 Coinstar Severance 492 23 Lease termination costs (excluding related asset impairments) 24 — Total Coinstar restructuring costs 516 23 ecoATM Severance 127 — Lease termination costs (excluding related asset impairments) — — Total ecoATM restructuring costs 127 — Total restructuring costs in continuing operations 8,911 557 Restructuring costs in discontinued operations 522 590 Total restructuring costs $ 9,433 $ 1,147 During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized $16.4 million in charges in connection with our restructuring and early lease termination including $6.9 million in impairments of lease related assets, and $9.4 million in restructuring costs, which include severance and net lease termination costs.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	Note 12: Discontinued Operations Summary Financial Information On January 23, 2015, we made the decision to shut down our Redbox Canada operations as the business was not meeting the company's performance expectations. This represents a strategic shift which has a major effect on our operations as it represents a significant geographical area for our Redbox segment and the losses generated were significant to our total operations. On March 31, 2015, we completed the disposal of the Redbox Canada operations. As a result, we updated certain estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements and the remaining value of the content library and certain capitalized property and equipment consisting primarily of installation costs were amortized over the wind-down period ending March 31, 2015. We have reclassified the results of Redbox Canada to discontinued operations for all periods presented in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income . In addition to Redbox Canada, discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included a $1.3 million pretax loss from operations and a $0.5 million income tax benefit related to the wind-down process of certain new ventures that were discontinued during 2013. Continuing cash flows from the wind-down process were not material. Total loss on discontinued operations is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, Dollars in thousands 2015 2014 2015 2014 Redbox Canada $ (256 ) $ (4,233 ) $ (5,077 ) $ (9,976 ) Certain new ventures — — — (768 ) Loss on discontinued operations $ (256 ) $ (4,233 ) $ (5,077 ) $ (10,744 ) Redbox Canada The disposition and operating results of Redbox Canada are presented in discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for all periods presented.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Note 13: Earnings Per Share Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, we began applying the two-class method of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share (the “Two-Class Method”) as it became significantly more dilutive than the previously applied treasury stock method as a result of stock repurchases increasing the average number of unvested restricted awards as a percentage of total common shares outstanding. The Two-Class Method is an earnings allocation formula that treats a participating security, as having rights to earnings that otherwise would have been available to common shareholders and assumes all earnings for the period are distributed. Our unvested restricted stock awards granted are participating securities as they entitle recipients to receive nonforfeitable dividends during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common stock. Our calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, In thousands, except per share data 2015 2014 2015 2014 Numerator Income from continuing operations $ 37,592 $ 22,123 $ 32,396 $ 73,562 Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax (256 ) (4,233 ) (5,077 ) (10,744 ) Net income $ 37,336 $ 17,890 $ 27,319 $ 62,818 Income from continuing operations $ 37,592 $ 22,123 $ 32,396 $ 73,562 Dividends and undistributed income allocated to participating shares (1,130 ) (739 ) (905 ) (2,294 ) Income from continuing operations to common shares - basic 36,462 21,384 31,491 71,268 Effect of reallocating undistributed income from continuing operations to participating shares — 8 — 41 Income from continuing operations to common shares - diluted $ 36,462 $ 21,392 $ 31,491 $ 71,309 Denominator Weighted average common shares - basic 17,220 18,798 17,775 20,792 Dilutive effect of share-based payment awards 9 53 14 87 Dilutive effect of convertible debt — 170 — 307 Weighted average common shares - diluted (1) 17,229 19,021 17,789 21,186 Basic earnings (loss) per common share: Continuing operations $ 2.12 $ 1.14 $ 1.77 $ 3.43 Discontinued operations (0.02 ) (0.23 ) (0.28 ) (0.52 ) Basic earnings per common share $ 2.10 $ 0.91 $ 1.49 $ 2.91 Diluted earnings (loss) per common share: Continuing operations $ 2.12 $ 1.12 $ 1.77 $ 3.37 Discontinued operations (0.02 ) (0.22 ) (0.29 ) (0.51 ) Diluted earnings per common share $ 2.10 $ 0.90 $ 1.48 $ 2.86 Stock options and share-based awards not included in diluted EPS calculation because their effect would have be antidilutive 12 226 1 16 (1) Participating securities were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share using the two-class method, as this calculation was more dilutive than the calculation using the treasury stock method.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments and Enterprise-Wide Information	Note 14: Business Segments and Enterprise-Wide Information Management, including our chief operating decision maker, who is our CEO, evaluates the performances of our business segments primarily on segment revenue and segment operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization and other, and share-based compensation granted to executives, non-employee directors and employees (“segment operating income (loss)”). Segment operating income (loss) contains internally allocated costs of our shared service support functions, including but not limited to, corporate executive management, business development, sales, finance, legal, human resources, information technology and risk management. We also review depreciation and amortization allocated to each segment. Share-based payments expense related to share-based compensation granted to executives, non-employee directors and employees and expense related to the rights to receive cash issued in connection with our acquisition of ecoATM are not allocated to our segments and are included in the Corporate Unallocated column in the analysis and reconciliation below; however, share-based payments expense related to our content arrangements with certain movie studios has been allocated to our Redbox segment and is included within direct operating expenses. Our performance evaluation does not include segment assets. Changes in our Organizational Structure During the first quarter of 2015, we added ecoATM, our electronic device recycling business, as a separate reportable segment. Previously, the results of ecoATM along with those of other self-service concepts were included in our New Ventures segment. The combined results of the other self-service concepts, which include product sampling kiosk concept SAMPLEit, are now included in the All Other reporting category in the reconciliation below as they do not meet quantitative thresholds to be reported as a separate segment. All goodwill previously allocated to the New Ventures segment has been allocated to the ecoATM segment. See Note 6: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for further information. Comparability of Segment Results We have recast prior period results for the following: • Discontinued operations, consisting of our Redbox operations in Canada which we shut down during the first quarter of 2015. See Note 12: Discontinued Operations for further information; and • The addition of our ecoATM segment and an All Other reporting category, which we added during the first quarter of 2015. Our analysis and reconciliation of our segment information to the consolidated financial statements that follows covers our results of operations, which consists of our Redbox, Coinstar and ecoATM segments, Corporate Unallocated expenses and All Other. All Other includes the results of other self-service concepts, which we regularly assess to determine whether continued funding or other alternatives are appropriate.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	Note 15: Fair Value Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, we use a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs: • Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions. The factors or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Assets and Liabilities Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands): Fair Value at September 30, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Money market demand accounts and investment grade fixed income securities $ 9,278 $ — $ — Fair Value at December 31, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Money market demand accounts and investment grade fixed income securities $ 916 $ — $ — Money Market Demand Accounts and Investment Grade Fixed Income Securities We determine fair value for our money market demand accounts and investment grade fixed income securities based on quoted market prices. The fair value of these assets is included in cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets . Assets and Liabilities Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis We recognize or disclose the fair value of certain assets such as non-financial assets, primarily long-lived assets, goodwill, intangible assets and certain other assets in connection with impairment evaluations. All of our nonrecurring valuations use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For more information regarding the goodwill impairment charge recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2015, and the related fair value, see Note 6: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The carrying value of our term loans approximates their fair value and falls under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We estimated the fair value of our senior unsecured notes due 2019 and 2021 outstanding using quoted market prices by independent dealers. The estimated fair value of our senior unsecured notes due 2019 and 2021 was approximately $350.0 million and $300.0 million , at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The fair value estimate of our senior unsecured notes falls under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We have reported the carrying value, face value less the unamortized debt discount, of our senior unsecured notes, issued at par, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Commitments and Contingencies	Note 16: Commitments and Contingencies Lease Commitments Operating Leases During 2015, we made the following changes to our operating leases: • We early terminated our operating lease of certain floors of our Redbox headquarters and recognized the fair value of the ongoing lease payments and other related costs through the effective date of termination, July 31, 2016, as of the cease use date, March 31, 2015. See Note 11: Restructuring for additional information; and • We entered into a new operating lease of 16,085 square feet of office space in Woodland Hills, California which expires May 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2015, our future minimum lease payments, net of sublease income are as follows: Dollars in thousands Operating Leases (1) Remaining in 2015 $ 4,298 2016 15,420 2017 10,601 2018 7,109 2019 6,152 Thereafter 10,435 Total minimum lease commitments 54,015 Less: sublease income (1,689 ) Total minimum lease commitments, net $ 52,326 (1) Includes all operating leases having an initial or remaining non-cancelable lease term in excess of one year. Purchase commitments Pursuant to the manufacturing and services agreement entered into as part of the NCR Asset Acquisition, Outerwall, Redbox or an affiliate were committed to purchase goods and services from NCR for a period of five years from June 22, 2012. At the end of the five-year period, if the aggregate amount paid in margin to NCR for goods and services delivered was to equal less than $25.0 million , Outerwall was to pay NCR the difference between such aggregate amount and $25.0 million . We made no purchases in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and we made $2.1 million in purchases in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, that reduced this commitment. As of September 30, 2015 , our remaining commitment is $15.8 million under this arrangement. We have also entered into other certain miscellaneous purchase agreements in the normal course of business, which resulted in total purchase commitments of $35.2 million as of September 30, 2015 . Content License Agreements On October 16, 2015, Paramount elected to exercise its option to extend our existing content license agreement. This will extend the license period through December 31, 2016, with no further options to renew, and require us to issue 50,000 shares of additional restricted stock to Paramount during the first quarter of 2016. See Note 20: Subsequent Events for additional information. On July 14, 2015 , Sony elected to exercise its option to extend our existing content license agreement. This extended the license period through September 30, 2016 , with no further options to renew, and required us to issue 25,000 shares of additional restricted stock to Sony during the fourth quarter of 2015. On June 5, 2015, Redbox entered into an amendment to the existing April 22, 2010, agreement with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment LLC (“Fox”) that maintains a 28-day window on Blu-ray Disc ® and DVD titles through June 30, 2017, and includes a revenue sharing arrangement between Redbox and Fox. On March 26, 2015, we entered into a revenue sharing agreement with Warner Home Video, a division of Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Inc., (the “Warner Agreement”) under which Redbox agrees to license minimum quantities of theatrical and direct-to-video titles for rental through March 31, 2017. The Warner Agreement maintains a 28-day window on such titles. We have entered into certain license agreements to obtain content for movie and video game rentals. Total estimated movie content commitments as of September 30, 2015 , is presented in the following table: Dollars in thousands Years Ended December 31, Total Remaining in 2015 2016 2017 Total estimated movie content commitments (1) $ 575,585 $ 155,439 $ 333,835 $ 86,311 (1) Subsequent to quarter end and not included in this table, Paramount elected to exercise its option to extend our existing content license agreement. This will extend the license period through December 31, 2016. See Note 20: Subsequent Events for additional information. Legal Matters In October 2009, an Illinois resident, Laurie Piechur, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint against our Redbox subsidiary in the Circuit Court for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, St. Clair County, Illinois. The plaintiff alleged that, among other things, Redbox charges consumers illegal and excessive late fees in violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, and that Redbox's rental terms violate the Illinois Rental Purchase Agreement Act or the Illinois Automatic Contract Renewal Act and the plaintiff is seeking monetary damages and other relief. In November 2009, Redbox removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. In February 2010, the District Court remanded the case to the Circuit Court for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, St. Clair County, Illinois. In May 2010, the court denied Redbox's motion to dismiss the plaintiff's complaint. In November 2011, the plaintiff moved for class certification, and Redbox moved for summary judgment. The court denied Redbox's motion for summary judgment in February 2012. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on April 19, 2012, and an amended motion for class certification on June 5, 2012. The court denied Redbox's motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The amended class certification motion was briefed and argued. At the hearing on plaintiff's amended motion for class certification, the plaintiff dismissed all claims but two and is pursuing only her claims under the Illinois Rental Purchase Agreement Act and the Illinois Automatic Contract Renewal Act. On May 21, 2013, the court denied plaintiff's amended class action motion. On January 29, 2014, the Illinois Supreme Court denied plaintiff’s petition for leave to appeal the trial court’s denial of class certification. Redbox has moved to dismiss all remaining claims on mootness grounds, and the Court granted Redbox’s motion on December 11, 2014. The plaintiffs appealed on January 7, 2015. Oral argument is scheduled for November 10, 2015. We believe that the claims against us are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter. Currently, no accrual has been established as it was not possible to estimate the possible loss or range of loss because this matter had not advanced to a stage where we could make any such estimate.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes From Continuing Operations	Note 18: Income Taxes From Continuing Operations Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 35.8% and 37.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and 66.7% and 32.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Our effective tax rate for both the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 , was higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to state income taxes, partially offset by the domestic production activities deduction. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , was higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to an $85.9 million non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charge that was recorded in the second quarter of 2015 and state income taxes, partially offset by the domestic production activities deduction. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , was lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the domestic production activities deduction and discrete benefits, partially offset by state income taxes.

Reclassifications	Reclassifications To be consistent with our 2015 reporting, the following have been retrospectively reported in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for all periods presented with no effect on net income, cash flows or stockholder's equity: • Results of our Redbox Canada operations which were discontinued during the first quarter of 2015. See Note 12: Discontinued Operations for additional information; • Restructuring and lease termination costs. See Note 11: Restructuring for additional information; and • Basic and diluted earnings per share as a result of applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share (the “Two-Class Method”). During the first quarter of 2015, the Two-Class Method became significantly more dilutive than the previously applied treasury stock method as a result of stock repurchases increasing the average number of unvested restricted awards (“participating securities”) as a percentage of total common shares outstanding. The impact of applying the Two-Class Method on both income from continuing operations and basic and diluted weighted average shares used to calculate earnings per common share is as follows: As Reported Under the Treasury Stock Method Amount Allocated to Participating Securities As Revised Under the Two-Class Method Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended In thousands, except per share data September 30, 2014 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2014 Income from continuing operations used in basic per share calculation $ 22,123 $ 73,562 $ (739 ) $ (2,294 ) $ 21,384 $ 71,268 Income from continuing operations used in diluted per share calculation $ 22,123 $ 73,562 $ (731 ) $ (2,253 ) $ 21,392 $ 71,309 Weighted average shares used in basic per share calculation 18,798 20,792 — — 18,798 20,792 Weighted average shares used in diluted per share calculation 19,147 21,372 (126 ) (186 ) 19,021 21,186 Basic earnings per common share from continuing operations $ 1.18 $ 3.54 $ (0.04 ) $ (0.11 ) $ 1.14 $ 3.43 Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations $ 1.16 $ 3.44 $ (0.04 ) $ (0.07 ) $ 1.12 $ 3.37 See Note 13: Earnings Per Share for additional information.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Current Year	Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Current Year In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity . ASU 2014-08 changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the ASU discontinued operations is defined as a: • Component of an entity, or group of components, that ◦ has been disposed of, meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale, or has been abandoned/spun-off and ◦ represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results, or a ◦ business or nonprofit activity that, on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08 during the first quarter of 2015 and applied the guidance to our disposition of our Redbox operations in Canada (“Redbox Canada”). See Note 12: Discontinued Operations for additional information.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted There have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our consolidated financial statements, from those disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except for the following: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 sets forth a new revenue recognition model that requires identifying the contract, identifying the performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (Subtopic 835-30) . This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, instead of as a deferred charge. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (Subtopic 835-30) . This ASU provides additional guidance to ASU 2015-03, which did not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. ASU 2015-15 noted that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-03 and 2015-15, which are effective for us in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . This ASU provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance will not change GAAP for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-05, which is effective for us in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016, and do not expect this standard to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Early adoption is permitted.
Earnings Per Share, Policy	Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, we began applying the two-class method of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share (the “Two-Class Method”) as it became significantly more dilutive than the previously applied treasury stock method as a result of stock repurchases increasing the average number of unvested restricted awards as a percentage of total common shares outstanding. The Two-Class Method is an earnings allocation formula that treats a participating security, as having rights to earnings that otherwise would have been available to common shareholders and assumes all earnings for the period are distributed. Our unvested restricted stock awards granted are participating securities as they entitle recipients to receive nonforfeitable dividends during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common stock.
Segment Reporting, Policy	Management, including our chief operating decision maker, who is our CEO, evaluates the performances of our business segments primarily on segment revenue and segment operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization and other, and share-based compensation granted to executives, non-employee directors and employees (“segment operating income (loss)”). Segment operating income (loss) contains internally allocated costs of our shared service support functions, including but not limited to, corporate executive management, business development, sales, finance, legal, human resources, information technology and risk management. We also review depreciation and amortization allocated to each segment. Share-based payments expense related to share-based compensation granted to executives, non-employee directors and employees and expense related to the rights to receive cash issued in connection with our acquisition of ecoATM are not allocated to our segments and are included in the Corporate Unallocated column in the analysis and reconciliation below; however, share-based payments expense related to our content arrangements with certain movie studios has been allocated to our Redbox segment and is included within direct operating expenses. Our performance evaluation does not include segment assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy	To measure fair value, we use a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs: • Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions. The factors or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
