Is Blockbuster preparing for a big return?

It’s Friday night in the early aughts and you’re tasked with the biggest decision of your life: which movie are you taking home for the weekend? This anxiety could soon be returning to your life as Blockbuster, which is currently down to one store in Bend, Oregon, is seemingly paving the way for an exciting comeback.

If you go to blockbuster.com, you’re greeted with a message that reads “we are working on rewinding your movie.”

Netflix, who helped ensure the death of Blockbuster, has helped the brand fall back into favor with a sitcom based around the final physical Blockbuster. A documentary streaming on the service garnered critical acclaim.

Would you welcome the return of a physical Blockbuster? The conversation lives on Facebook!
