I watched the documentary "The Last Blockbuster" yesterday (ironically, it's a Netflix film). Blockbuster could have bought Netflix for ~$50 million back in the day, but decided not to. Later, Blockbuster was on par with Netflix in regard to streaming videos, but because people behind Blockbuster were foolish with company funds, didn't have the money to push it, whereas Netflix had tons of cash, and the rest, as they say, is history. The last Blockbuster store is in Bend, Oregon, and was still doing pretty well as of 2019. They apparently have to get an annual license to be called "Blockbuster" from, I forget which entity, so they never know when their end will come.
