Blockbuster Closing Its Remaining Retail Stores

Found On: www.slashgear.com
It was announced yesterday that the end of an era was officially here. Blockbuster has announced that they intend to close all of their remaining retail stores in early 2014, as well as discontinue their movie mailing service. The company, which was founded in 1985, had become an incredible success and dominated the 1990's with their movie rental service.

Failing to keep up with the times, however, they began losing ground to competition such as Netflix, which offered movies through the mail. Blockbuster was too slow to adjust to society's quickly changing entertainment methods. According to an article on The Huffington Post, Blockbuster was purchased by DISH Network at a bankruptcy auction in 2011 for $320 million. Blockbuster at its peak, however, had a market value of $5 billion in 2002.

Today on Yahoo! Finance an article from The New York Times writer Brian Stelter was posted pertaining to Netflix. According to Stelter, as Netflix's price hike took place this month the stock in the company dropped around 15%. The price hike which was announced earlier this summer involved the separation of streaming and DVD options. In order for a customer to have both they would have to pay $8 for each.

Along with their drop in stock, they have also seen a drop in customers as Netflix members cancel their accounts. On a brighter side, however, the company's chief executive, Reed Hastings, has claimed that the extra revenue for the company will help with their research and development as well as their content availability for streaming.
