Holy shit! 960! I know there's Blockbuster loyalists on here like john and zoo, but there's no arguing with these numbers. I think the end is near.
PS Nice random flame you threw in there asshole. No wonder everyone hates you.

The article states the 18% of BBV stores in the US are not profitable. The largest predicted number of closings is 22% of the US stores. If they truly did close less than 5% of stores turning a profit than I think they'll buy some significant time.

Perhaps, but I would frankly be surprised if the company survives past 2010... I wonder if any of the stores in my area are going to be closed. So far, all of them have remained unscathed. I seldom visit my old store anymore, but last the time I was in there they weren't doing too well. They could definitely be on the chopping block.

I was surprised, but this story actually made onto the local newscast. Of course, they really played it up as dramatic ("Big changes coming to your local Blockbuster"), but what really made me laugh was the accompanying video. Naturally, they dug up some old stock footage of employees putting videos back on the shelf...
VHS videos, that is. Wow. Was that the best you could do? Still, it does make you wonder how much gas the company has left in the tank. So far, only one store in our area has closed. We're one of the higher volume stores, so I'm thinking (hoping) that we're OK. Like a lot of others on this board, I don't have a lot of love for the company, but I am rather attached to the paycheck.
