Blockbuster Video Sparks Comeback Speculation with Live Website

Updates to the Blockbuster Video website have sparked speculation about a potential comeback for the once-popular movie-rental chain. The website now features the Blockbuster logo and nostalgic messages, but it's unclear what the changes mean for the brand beyond the lone remaining store in Bend, Oregon. Blockbuster struggled amid the rise of video-on-demand and competition from Netflix and Redbox, entering bankruptcy in 2010 and being acquired by Dish Network the following year.

Blockbuster's Mysterious Website Sparks Comeback Speculation

Blockbuster Video has launched a mysterious website featuring its iconic logo and the text "We are working on rewinding your movie," sparking speculation about a possible revival of the video store chain. Blockbuster's owner, Dish Network, has not commented on the website's launch, but has previously said it was not franchising new locations. The chain saw a resurgence in pop culture relevance in recent years after a Netflix sitcom and a popular documentary. Dish said it would continue pursuing merchandising opportunities related to apparel and board games.
