When it comes to renting movies, this company's goal is to remain a Blockbuster. Blockbuster is the world's largest video rental chain, with more than 6,500 company-owned or franchised stores in some 17 countries (about 62% are in the US). The chain rents more than 1 billion videos, DVDs, and video games through its Blockbuster Video outlets each year. Customers also can make rentals, purchases, and watch instant downloads through its website Blockbuster Online, which competes with the likes of Netflix and Redbox . The firm is shuttering hundreds of stores and has plans to divest its foreign operations (about a third of revenues) to focus on its North American business as it navigates toward a digital future.
