Don't worry, guys, Blockbuster will shut down. And so will all the other big-chain movie rental stores. However, movie renting will be alive and well.
Think of record stores ... and I do mean real vinyl records, LPs if you will. They didn't die out. They were just reduced in numbers and became more of a destination for afficionados ... with all kinds of band gear and that sort of stuff. Much like horses did not become obsolete after the car was invented. They became a recreational activity. And although there aren't as many horses or horse stables now as there were in the past, now it's become a destination to go to a farm with horses and horse-riding classes so the industry just changed the perspective on its products.
