BLOCKBUSTER FOR SALE
Blockbuster, the once mighty video rental juggernaut has fallen on hard times. The lands it once dominated have been taken over by the likes of Netflix and Redbox and to a lesser extent sites like Hulu. The company recently filed for bankruptcy protections and is now listing itself for sale.
Bids for the company have started at $290 million. CEO Jim Keys put a positive spin on the whole thing and said this will "allow for the consolidation of ownership of the company to those with a clear and focused vision for Blockbuster's future." Could 2011 finally be the year Blockbuster hits the deadpool?
