Blockbuster is busy closing stores. Consider Stores consist of fixed costs
and variable inventory costs. Blockbuster was slow in adopting to the
change in distribution. Movies can now be distributed via Internet and DVD
as NetFlix. The distribution costs are lower since they are normally
distributed from central warehouses or from distributed downloads. Consider
cost of just packaging at a Blockbuster location. How about the turnover of
the inventory. Stuff sitting on the shelf has a cost but is not generating
revenue.
Dear Blockbuster, your days of glory are in the past. Your online division
just does not get it.
