Abstract
When Blockbuster Video announced the widespread closure of its U.S. stores in late 2013, the announcement was met with little surprise. Video stores had been in decline for the last decade, and the closure of a local store had become a familiar experience for many. This announcement from a multinational chain, however, seemed to signal the death of video stores entirely; if the biggest chain of them all seemed to think there was no future in video, how would any of them survive?
