Someone should really buy Blockbuster's name and everything, set up a streaming service that is JUST movies, and make the set up look like you were browsing aisles.
If they can get enough movies, I think it would be successful.

Blockbuster is an amazing case study to me. They were essentially unrivaled in the home video consumption industry but they didn't anticipate the evolution of the market and were left trying to play catch up to Redbox and Neflix. It would have made complete sense if someone told you in 2000 that Blockbuster would be an internet streaming giant 20 years later.
The "Business Wars" podcast Netflix vs Blockbuster is a good listen about how it all went down.
Innovate/Grow or Die. It only takes a couple bad decisions from leadership to turn into a Blockbuster/Sears/Kmart compared to a Netflix/Walmart/Costco/Amazon

I knew a guy who made a good living managing a blockbuster back in 2004. I was asking him how they were going to deal with Netflix. He said they had a plan and he wasn't the least bit worried.
When I managed a Blockbuster, we had a meeting with the regional manager. The question was brought up about streaming video. This guy deadass told us "we don't see that as a problem. The internet will never have enough speed to stream movies without long buffering times."
Talk about whistling past the graveyard.

I've been to it, not impressed
It's a Blockbuster. What were you expecting that would have impressed you? I enjoy going there. It's like stepping back in time 20+ years.

There was a Domino's Pizza delivery driver I kind of had a deal with. Bring me a free pizza, and you get 2 free rentals that night.
