Map of the Rise and Fall of Blockbuster Video
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2020
- Between 1985 and 2010, Blockbuster Video opened thousands of stores across the US. This map shows the locations of US Blockbuster Video stores over time.
The store counts also include Alaska and Hawaii which aren't shown on the map.
Sources: The per-state store numbers came from archive copies of Blockbuster Inc’s annual 10-K filings with the SEC between 1999 and 2011. The numbers outside of these years were collected from various business news articles with linear extrapolation for the dates in between.

The last remaining Blockbuster was also the first Blockbuster in Oregon. Opened in 1988
Thanks Dad, for making me notice.
That is false, the first Blockbuster was opened in Dallas Texas. This one in Bend, Oregon has been open since 2004

@@BloodyCaesar is right, I dont remember going to Blockbuster but I did
Ironic
It looks like Blockbuster's decline began in January 2005. The highest number of stores they ever reached (in the Contiguous United States) was 5,734.
And from that number it only went down. Never grew again.
2005 was a curse
Yeah when the internet began improving. Many other stores began to go out of business and dvd sales began to drop as well.
@@deanhassan1753 The internet was not there yet, but it was Netflix that help usher its demise thanks to its DVD-by-mail service.
UA-cam started cooking in 2005.
I hated it when Blockbuster closed. It wasn't just a store, it was an experience.
It is kind of cool being able to pick stuff up, look at the box and make a roll of the dice in the absence of easily accessible internet reviews.
I loved getting to choose a movie every Friday night as a kid.
It's unfortunate they failed to adapt
Were the excessive late fees part of the experience too?

As a Gen Z kid, this makes me sad. I actually have been to the very last Blockbuster store before, it’s in Bend Oregon and they actually have merch about it there. Ironically, I think it being the last one is what’s keeping it open because it’s like a tourist attraction now
I’m also Gen Z. I wish I could go there…

@@Grassplant2012 same…
Don't be that sad. Blockbuster drove mom and pop stores out of business.
@@archieames1968 heh.
For reference, there’s currently about 13,449 McDonalds in the US. And Blockbuster peaked at 5,734. So for every Blockbuster, there are 2 and a half McDonalds.
I was born in 1985 so I got to see and experience all of the 90’s from age 5-15. I am so grateful for those times
That sounds nice actually. I was born in 91 so I only vaguely remember the late 90s.
I was born in '85 too. Growing up in the 90s was wonderful but also bittersweet in retrospect because we really had the illusion of being a charmed generation born into a new golden age. The Cold War was over, the economy was booming, fascinating new technologies like the internet were becoming widespread, and America seemed invincible between the fall of the Soviet Union and 9/11. Then the other shoe dropped just as we were reaching adulthood and the world started going to shit.
I feel bad for the younger generations because they never knew a time of genuine optimism and prosperity, but in a way they're better prepared for it psychologically because they've never known anything besides cynicism and pessimism. A lot of us older millennials are still deluded enough to think we'll fix the world once we take over from the boomers but it will be far too late by then.
@@bobsnow6242 I was born in '02 and honestly I feel like most of my generation is either overly-cynical or overly-optimistic.
That said, I never understood all this crap about fixing the world. The world's way too large and complex for one generation in one country to magically fix everything, especially without creating any new problems in the process. The best we can do is fix the problems we find ourselves able to, and hope our solutions don't end up creating any worse problems later on. That's just the way things are and always have been.
@@bobsnow6242Same as you. It was intriguing, yet weird seeing the world turn digital. It’s nice and convenient but sometimes I miss the pre-retailpocolypse times when people went out into the world and their faces weren’t shoved into their phones on social media.
Lol if you were born in 85, then you didn't really experience the early 90s. At least your memories will be very faint. I think most had moved on to CDs, DVDs, and MP3s for music by the time you came of age. I still very much remember cassette tapes and watching movies only on VHS.
Does anyone remember the ten or so small video rental stores for every Blockbuster store throughout the 80s and early 90s that Blockbuster ran out of business? Many of them lost everything on account of Blockbuster.
I remember having a Blockbuster card but only going to a Blockbuster store a handful of times. I'm guessing I preferred watching movies in theaters? LOL. I really don't remember them being central to my life..
West Coast Video
@@CoreLabRat2 That sounds like a chain.
In my town, we had small mom and pop video stores in the 80s and early 90s. Stores like:
- Video Concepts 2000
- Video Mania
- Interstate Video
- Whitt's Video
- Video and Pizza on Wheels
- Video Express
And others.
Blockbuster came in sometime around 1994 near my house, then around 1997-1999 a few other large, but smaller than Blockbuster chains opened like Hollywood Video.
@@willp.8120 In the early 90's we used to go to West Coast Videos.. it was a super retro store lmao... memories yikes
My town never had a Blockbuster. It had VHS 3 rental shops in the 90s, 2 of which were right next to each other. All closed now.
One of them is now an independent games store that survives by doing card gaming such as Magic. He's been going over 20 years. It's a community hub for nerds.

Blockbuster was presented with the opportunity to buy Netflix for $60MM and turned it down. Netflix initially was not a streaming service. It was mailing DVDs back and forth.

I live in Portland. I went to Blockbuster last summer.
Your so Lucky. I miss Blockbuster
I have visited the Bend, OR store as of this year. It's going strong and has a healthy number of loyal customers to keep it afloat for years to come. A 2020 Netflix Documentary called 'The Last Blockbuster' (kinda Ironic that Netflix is what made this thing so popular as a tourist destination, given they were once major rivals) has given rise to a major Tourist interest in the store. As of July 26th, 2021 the store is around and is going well.
Good for you. I've seen almost everything I have an interest in seeing in the US. The Bend Blockbuster is still on the bucket list.

The last one should just stay open regardless of profits and should be funded by the government or private investors for it's historical significance.
"bail out"
@@pap-fr Exactly!
Não mesmo!
We don’t need the government funding anything else.
So 2005 was their peak huh? I thought it would've been 2007 or 08.
It was 2004, around 2005 they started declining
How? Video streaming was the reason of the decline?
Yup, the rise of UA-cam/social media basically stripped Blcokbuster from the general public who wanted to watch videos.
@@lukelodeon7750 It was both, technically very early 2005 was their max peak
Streaming didn’t get big until about 2010. What killed video rental stores was Netflix DVD-by-mail and Redbox DVD vending machines and digital cable & satellite TV which allowed for hundreds of channels, including dozens of movie channels, combined with DVRs. Also, people got used to buying & selling games (GameStop mainly) rather than renting. Netflix DVD by mail had better selection than anyone, and you didn’t have to go to the stores, and no late fees. People also bought a lot of DVDs due to the extra content.
By January 2014 all they had left was 100 Blockbuster stores. Just sad what happened to them when only a few years prior they had over 5,000 stores. By 2019 all they had left was 1 single store, really tragic.
That was just in the US. They had around 10,000 worldwide.
This video is both happy, sad, and satisfying.
Surprised this awesome video does not have more views
Cool vid. Defintely provides an example of a very quick rise and decline based off of how fast technology was moving at the time. Blockbuster was a staple for me and my friends in my teens, but i could talk to somebody 4 years younger than me that had never heard of or been to a blockbuster. So wild!
It was like a ride on Top Thrill Dragster; straight to the top until 2005; then a straight plummet down. Digital streaming wasn't what began Blockbuster's downfall, it was Netflix and Redbox. Now it's all digital, and the Redbox machines that used to be on every street corner have now become scarce.
There are still a good amount of Redbox vending machines in my area, but they mostly have older movies. I still rent from them & libraries once in a while so I don’t need 10 streaming services. I also cancel streaming services and subscribe to different ones once in a while.
@@jeremyf9124 I would still be a loyal Blockbuster customer if they still existed. You can find a Redbox machine at any Walgreens in my area but other than that they are few and far between; and just as you said, they're mostly older movies. The one at the Walgreens nearest me hasn't been flipped in over a year. It's all decked out in Barbie gear lol.
@@jeremyf9124 I have Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max and Peacock. Only reason I have Peacock is because of football.
Also ironic considering 2005 was the year Ka stole the height record from TTD.
@@phantomhourglass13 And 2024 was the year TTD took it back.
The last one is just an independent store that licenses the Blockbuster name.
But it still is amazing that the Franchise Name is still kept around at one store at least. At as said in the 2020 Netflix Documentary 'The Last Blockbuster' it is licensed under Fox Entertainment who bought the Franchise in the early 2010s, so therefore technically it's still an official store. It has no plans of closing down as a large amount of Loyal customers in Bend keep the store afloat and the Tourism is has received from the Documentary is helping as well. I went there yesterday on July 26th, 2021, and the store is going strong. I hope it's around long enough for me to bring my kids to it in the future.
People have no idea what the death of the video store really meant for all of us.
Its was our only adventure that we would possibly have in a modern world in most places.

Believe it or not, here in Brazil there were more than 300 Blockbusters, all of them were sold to Lojas Americanas (Brazilian store chain)
I miss Blockbuster so much, too bad I wasn't old enough to work there when they were still open, I'd love to know the closing dates of the ones in Delaware, I searched everywhere, I found a list of the locations and business hours but not closure, the one in New Castle was practically right outside my neighborhood across the street from my Middle School, after school before it closed on Friday my family would always head there pick up popcorn, candy, and rent a few movies. It kinda sucks that nobody in Delaware has photos of the inside of the store itself. Also the building remained for sale until like 2014-2015 where it was finally taken over by a clothing store called "Rainbow", the large Blockbuster logo street sign and post are still there, now with a tarp for an ad for an available building space for somewhere else in the small shopping center. I miss it so much that I now own an Employee uniform, including nametag, training pins, lanyard with name, an Excellence Awards Key Pin, and a Blockbuster manager store key and keychain from a California location. Plus an unused sheet of Blockbuster case stickers and Regular and Gold Membership Rewards cards and easy laminate sleeves. And I also own a Blockbuster Shopping basket and also the In-Store Blockbuster Promo DVDs, the DVDs are the ones that the employees would bring up on the TVs, type in the DVD pin and click on the promos, trailers, and releases for that month on that day, and depending on what day you click, the dates for the trailers and such will change like "releases tomorrow", then click the next day and it says "releases today". I currently have 2-3 DVDs per year from 2003-2010.
I checked Google Maps and saw that it was still there by 2007 with a photo of the outside. Unfortunately the only photos of it are from 2007 and 2017 and by 2017 it was already replaced so I don’t really know other than it was after September 2007
Hell yeah Delaware
I worked at Blockbuster in 1996-97. Most of the day was spent dusting shelves, pacing around pretending to be busy. You didn't miss anything.
If you play the history of Blockbuster in reverse, it starts off as a small business then rises.
Yes great job on pullling together the data for this and making it. Depicts a real piece of history. Surprising not more views and likes.
Blockbuster's failure is entirely the fault of Blockbuster for not being forward thinking. They were offered to buy Netflix for $50 million in 2000 and laughed Netflix "out of the room."
Buying Netflix would not have saved them. Netflix wasn't worth the price they were asking for in 2000. They could have very easily built the business Netflix was in 2000 for less money. The roots of their downfall are far deeper than that.
I keep rewatching this video. It's captivating and nostalgic and tragic. What shocks me is that they continued to grow way past what I would have thought. That they continued growing until 2005 is amazing in retrospect. My first job was Rent-A-FLICK (neon sign at night looked like something very different) for $3.35/hour. The first Blockbuster in Michigan stoke me away for a whopping $4.25/hr. I still miss working and going there as a customer. Netflix didn't kill blockbuster. Blockbuster killed Blockbuster by abandoning movies and focusing on games & toys.
Hope you can do Kmart next. Kmart only have 4 stores left in the U.S. (2 in NJ, 1 in NY, and 1 in FL) with 6 stores in the U.S. territories (1 in Guam, 1 in PR, and 4 in USVI).

January 2005 was really the peak for Blockbuster
I was born in 1996 so I didn’t experience the whole era but even the late 2000s blockbuster was a Friday night ritual. Game stop and blockbuster were my favorite stores
I know that streaming is much more convenient, but I miss going to a physical video rental place. There was something special about it.
Do you have any information regarding what cities the specific blockbusters were in on specific years ?
Crazy how much history/memories/experiences were going down during this time lapse demonstration
The Fall of The Blockbuster is Far More Significant than the Fall Of the Roman Empire..
It certainly feels that way! Teachers, take note.

So many memories going to Blockbuster, Hollywood Video and the mom pop rental store we had in town. It was an era for sure. It’s a blessing and a curse having so much access.

From Dallas to Oregon with love. The Vhs era, and even the DVD era
Damn man. So depressing. :(
Why? No business is immortal.
Wow. I was surprised to see that one of the last 10 stores was in my hometown.
This store was my happy place when I was four and my dad took me there every now and then so we were both devastated when they went out of business but I was able to purchase some of the movies that were still available when they were going out of business and I still have them to this day and I keep passing the building it use to be in and I always feel a tear go down my face.
Didn't realize till now my town's Blockbuster was among the first 200 to built in the middle of June 1988, and then was among the last 150 to be closed around December 2013. Our location was one of the most popular places in town to go even in its last few years. I remember going there in the summer of 2013 and the place was packed!
0:09 si se fijan verán q en ese segundo nace el único Blockbuster q aún existe :)
As someone who used to live in Bend, as a kid, we actually went to the last remaining one quite a bit. My grandma had an old VHS player and we used it a TON. We later moved away but still have the old VHS. When we go back to bend every now and then, we still stop by.
Dude same I live in Bend and even in what like 2013 I was still going there? The one on third street too, not the one south by little Caesar’s
I lived in Vermont, and I remember when they built one of these Blockbusters- it was REALLY late in the lifecycle of blockbusters run. It never really did very well as it was small towns and we had our local video stores that we liked. It was only open maybe 5-6 years before it went bankrupt and out, but it never really took off where we were.
The last movie I rented from BB was Happy Feet 2.

Way back in the past, I used to have 2 Blockbusters in Kingston, NY.
That Bend, Oregon blockbuster how long was it opened at?
The Last Blockbuster opened in 1992 as a Pacific Video location. In the summer of 2000, it became a Blockbuster location.
Best story I heard was at a veterinary conference. Blockbuster found the town of Susanville, California which had a large population but no video stores nearby. So they put a store there to service the underserved populace. One problem - the population was mostly the inmates in the Susanville prison.
1:45 and this is where the figures fall
Last one is in Bend Oregon. It’s really cool. You ever have the chance it’s worth checking out
Texas (and surprisingly DFW) held out way longer than I expected
Headquarters were based in downtown Dallas. Could be a factor.
any chance of getting the dataset?
It's uncanny how the decline of Blockbuster began in almost perfect sync with the last commerical release of a VHS tape before they too were discontinued.
I saw the rise and fall of Blockbuster Video. I still get memories of renting out N64 game from Blockbuster from 1996 to 2007 (age 10 to 21). Netflix and Amazon Prime changed everything. 😢
“Those were the days, my friend. I thought they’d never end.”
According to that map it says my hometown got a blockbuster in the late 80s, we actually got one around 2003, and it closed in 2007. Also it shows many surrounding communities that have a population of way less than 10,000 getting blockbusters, which isn't feasible. They had either a locally owned video rental store or attached with a community gas station.
breaks my heart.
In a random instant from the Big Bang through an endless future. At an arbitrary location in the eternal vastness of space. We found ourselves blessed to be in that fleeting moment I call, THE AGE OF BUSTER.
I remember when my local blockbuster closed. It was very sad
For a brief period of time in the 2010s up until the pandemic hit, Family Video had more locations than Blockbuster...
I love how the whole time, Maine was like, “meh… this is just a fad. We only need 1.”
movie gallery and hollywood video were more popular here
I am a lot like many on here. I really miss the atmosphere of going to Blockbuster on a Saturday night. Whether it be with your mom and dad, girlfriend, mates or even alone. It was something cool to do. It gave you a chance to peruse and soak up the smell of popcorn and you had to put in a bit of effort to find something..even if it was crap. I would often choose a big hitter and then a crap movie I had never heard of. Amazing how often the unheard of one topped the pricey one. People talk about how good netflix / disney is. But I for one would be happy to have to go to Blockbuster just to get the brand new movies out......leaving the tv shows and slightly older movies to the streaming channels of course.
IMO, broadband internet is what killed Blockbuster.
Personally, I liked the option of renting films on videotape or DVD, but I never liked the actual experience of using video-stores, even back when they were popular.
As soon as high speed internet became a practical way to get my TV entertainment, I never went near a video-store again. For me, this was indeed around 2005. (1:46)
I remember my parents going on about how Blockbuster was coming to our town a year before it opened. They just kept going on and on like it was something special. And then it opened. And it was indeed special. I remember the first movie we rented. Jumanji, Starring Robin Williams. And from there it was all magic. Bare in mind I'm from a small town all the way in New Zealand. This was the reach of Blockbusters magic. Boy I miss it. The smell. The yellow cases. The candy section. The adult section 😂
I visited the last Blockbuster in Bend last summer.
What one was the closest to Alexandria Minnesota?
Since 2005 that’s when the decline started.
You should do Kmart.

Good vid
The one where I live in the Hudson Valley region of southern New York closed in April 2011, though from the looks of this, it wasn't the last one in that part of the state.
So what's the one store left? Any details about it?
Read the description.
It's in Bend, Oregon. You can Google it and read up about on a few thousand articles for it.
Where were the last 2 stores? Since there was 3 in April 2018. I’m assuming somewhere outside the USA?
Alaska, who held on because wireless internet was not cheap up there and not unlimited, so streaming wasn't a thing up there for a long time.
Australia i believe.
