They peaked in 2005 and went bankrupt in 2010 after steadily declining to subscription services like Netflix that comes to you, instead of you going to them which is a much better experience, paying per movie at Blockbuster, or going to one of the 40,000 Red Box locations which was started by Mitch Lowe, SVP of McDonalds in 2003.
