And some of us are adaptable and have learned to make the best of a crappy situation. I'm not saying bad stuff isn't going to happen, but if Blockbuster suffers, so do the studios. Hollywood can't run on $9 a month/$1 a movie. But if Blockbuster does shut down, including online and on demand, then i will bow to the glory of the all seeing ihbb message board and all of their wisdom. |

BUT... now that we're facing certain death without or without their propping, and we owe each of them MILLIONS, I think Hollywood is the one that will be our ultimate undoing by refusing to send dvds until accounts are settled. The stores cannot survive on renting only The Notebook and Memento for 2.99 and candy bundles. I am puzzled by certain posters who keep talking about what Blockbuster stores will be like after the inevitable liquidation. Seriously?

I had seen on here recently that some of you that still work for BB have mentioned that of this week's big releases you got 127 Hours and Love & Other Drugs (Fox) but not Faster, Burlesque & SWAT. Did you get them in a shipment on Friday or are you still waiting for them? Just curious!

So BB has NO say over what is shipped to them or how many copies?! I guess I don't understand how the business works...not trying to be sarcastic...just don't understand that reasoning..

My choice of words is so I am not getting myself in trouble.. It is weird how it works. Yes, they have some say, but I am sure that they have contracts that include how many of each movie they have to buy. The goal from CEOs would be to not be out of stock on a movie, so they would base the copies on that. The more stores that closed, the more movies the other stores would have to take. Here is a basic Rev share agreement that you could make with a company if you were opening up your own video store. This is not Blockbuster. Studio Sends me 30 Copies of Donnie Darko. I pay $1.00 per movie up front and agree to take 2 copies of the movie "Shit Movie Part 4" . I pay the studio a fee for every time this movie goes out my door, even if I gave it away free. I agree not to sell it used for a certain period of time. The longer I keep the movie the less money the studio makes off it. Once I begin to sale Donnie Darko for lets say $16.99, the studio then gets a cut of the used price. The earlier I put it used the more money they get off of it. I am also allowed to send several copies of Donnie Darko back after lets say 8-12 Weeks with no charge. The studio gets lets say $2 bucks for every time I rent Donnie Darko and they get like $1 every time I rent "Shit Movie Part 4". That ensures I would have a lot of copies of Donnie Darko to rent. Smaller video stores with less customers and deeper pockets could buy their movies. Instead of paying $30 up front for 30 Copies of Donnie Darko They pay $600 for their 30 Copies. They get to keep all the money from the rental, can sell it used at anytime and keep all the money. Now if they make a mistake and buy too many of a movie they thought would do good, then the are stuck with the product and out all that cash. That is what made Blockbuster so big, by doing Rev Share deals they were able to put 100 Copies of a good movie in 6000 stores with very little up front cash. Hope this helps....just one more time the above reference has nothing to do with how BBV rev share works. This basic Rev share overview for a Mom and Pop store doing Rev Share.
