EphraimAdamz Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 That's it you guys it's official. Blockbuster official closed down its last 300 stores... but wait for the irony..... The last film rented out by Blockbuster was the 2013 comedy "This Is the End" at a store in Hawaii. LMAO She put up a good fight though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetDAYZ Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 But damn, they were still closing up stores? They took our last one, last summer. I thought that was the "finale" for all Block buster stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EphraimAdamz Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 No she didn't put up a good fight I mean they sorta did. I remember they had blockbuster box similar to red box I'm surprised they never opened a movie theater.

downeaznboi Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Blockbuster did try streaming. It just wasn't any successful so they stopped. I'm surprised they were still open actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 they had a mail order dvd delivery service and it was kinda cool, but ultimately they fail behind the times, dvd's are obsolete, its all streaming now...I liked cruising in Blockbuster because I would see titles I might not have heard of.
