I think somebody should buy them out and take the stores back to the basics. And by that I mean focus on being a rental store first. It may mean it becomes more of a mom and pop shop type experience (in a corporate store? Could it be?? I would hope so...) and offer niche items not found in Redbox or Netflix. They need to get rid of the concept they should be this one stop entertainment shop, because it's NEVER going to happen. But corporate that owns it now? Gone...bankrupt...good as liquidated. They just need to sell the name and the stores and get out while the getting out is good and let a new company try to run it for a change.

Is bankruptcy anything like a divorce in the way i'm about to explain further?

Could blockbuster sign over the rights to certain large aspects of itself so that it does not apply to the things it needs to liquidate and restructure?

I'm thinking in a divorce, if a man owns a small business, he can sign the rights over to a friend of his and when the judge declares he must hand over or split in half his money and possessions to his exwife, the small business will not be accounted for because it is no longer his. when the whole divorce thing is done and over with, all his stuff has been divided up between him and the exwife, he has his small business signed back over to him from his friend.

If blockbuster was to file bankruptcy and a part of it was signed away to someone else, for example Total Access to ComCast, would that work the same way as a divorce?

I'm not even sure if divorce works this way. its just what i see in the movies.

thinking to hard. But corporations and individuals have a different set of rules. THis is why blockbuster cant file chapter 13, all debt forgivin, only individuals can file chapter 13.

Let's just hope someone uses a courtesy flush, so nothing comes back up.
