Blockbuster - Before the advent of digital streaming, video rental stores were the place to go when you fancied a night-in watching a movie or box set. This was a new phenomenon in the 1980s as more and more people purchased home VHS players. By the time the first Blockbuster store opened in Dallas in 1985, the video rental industry was taking shape - helping to create a huge new income stream for film distributors. Over the years, Blockbuster became the industry leader, growing in size to have over 9,000 stores around the world and revenues of $5.9 billion at its peak in 2004. In the UK, it had over 4,000 stores and its blue and yellow signage was familiar sight on the high street. At the turn of the century, Blockbuster still dominated the video and DVD rental market. However, internet speeds were improving. This carried the potential to radically alter how we consume all forms of media. The idea of streaming a feature-length movie online was now a reality.

Blockbuster was once known throughout the world as a leader in home movie and video game rentals. Before the digital age, their products were the Netflix of the day. The problem? They refused to innovate. Sensing changes in the market — including by a start-up known as Netflix — Blockbuster began to push for a more in-demand market, creating programmes that allowed people to get videos delivered directly to their homes. However, it wasn’t enough: The company failed to properly prepare for the rise of the digital age and never created a product like that of Netflix that streamed movies directly to people’s internet devices. Their most egregious failure? A lack of imagination and a failure of business strategy. The company was offered the chance to purchase Netflix — but said no. Blockbuster did not have a corporate culture that embraced…arrow_forward
