BlockBuster Closing sale.

[Hotfoot]

Went by my local BlockBuster today which is closing. Last 5 days. Picked up The Watchman, Charlton Heston's Omega Man and Black Cadillac movies for $3.99 each. A Poster size print on board framed Star Trek symbol for $8.00 and some display cards.

Thrilled to get a copy of the Omega Man for the price of a rental!

dam, we have about 15 here, but i would hate to see them go

They'll still be around,even if the close all of the stores. I'm sure their web site will stay plus I saw they've got those rental kiosks.

[megocrazy]

Not all of them. Ours is open until January 5th. I'll be there after X-mas.

Block buster could survive but not in it's current form. They realized that a few years ago and have tried no late fees, return to different locations, mail in rentals etc. If they can find a new niche they'll make it but they MUST do something.

Their mail-in rental sucks

If they wanna survive that way they need to overhaul the whole way they operate.

it's too hard to compete with netflix ,

They want to close stores an add kiosks. Really, they're suffering from the same thing that killed off the record stores: an out of date business plan and stubborness to adapt to the times.
