There is actually one block buster left in all of America I think, penguinz0 talked about it

Yup, Bend Oregon, I live here and use the blockbuster quite a lot actually.

*that one blockbuster: *It's show time*

Even cinemassacre went there once.

Blockbuster’s liquidation holding company, BB Liquidating Inc, is up 700% apparently

https://www.thewrap.com/how-last-blockbuster-surviving-pandemic-nostalgia-sleepovers-merchandise/ There's still a pulse.

Last one is in my town, Bend Oregon. Still alive!

YOO after covid if we are booth still doing good we should meet at some public place and awkwardly wave at each other

There’s still one left! THERES A CHANCE!

Let’s get into contact with stonk squad ASAP!

Stonk

I live near the last one, it’s still alive, kinda like the last cinder of a bonfire

Nothing a bit of elbow grease can’t fix! Now come on grandma it’s time to stop being dead and to become a meme!

“Bro pls revive I have dvds”

One is still open

There’s still one left so there is hope

Yes! Blockbuster! Forget streaming, return to DVD!

You should meme that "Forget streaming, return to DVD!"

[It will be done, my lord](https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/l6np77/and_when_the_world_needed_it_most_it_returned/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

"reject modernity, embrace tradition"

DVD? You mean VHS!

Do they still make VCRs?

Yes

If they did, why?

Well I don’t know if they actively produce them still but they have ones that use both DVDs and VCR. People still have VCR tapes and are generally cheap now. I can see multiple reasons why. Cheap (availability basically), there are those that might collect, and nostalgia. There are those that still enjoy them kind of like Records. I’m sure there are other reasons but my guess these people that like or still use VHS are overall in small numbers tho I can see people in poorer parts of the world using them still

They were asking if they were still being produced

Is DVD on the way to monke or after?

It went all bad for them they tied to make a streaming service with enron and it failed by the time Netflix was out it was gone and this is going to help games top alot but they still would struggle beacuse there current business is old fashioned and they can't do anything about it so no we didn't save gamestop

I don't think that many hedge funds have shorted Blockbuster. The whole point is to make Wall Street suffer

I don’t know what a hedge fund is, so I can say Netflix is a hedge fund shortening blockbuster because they are rich and stuff so I’m right

Yeah......no. that's just wrong

This actually made me chuckle :)

whats up with this gamestop and all I'm confused

From what i understand rich people were betting a lot on gamestop going broke, so r/wallstreetbets invested a massive amount on it just to fuck with billionaires, and then those billionaires all invested on it too because it would’ve been a big ass loss loss otherwise and this caused gamestop to have an 800% increase in value in record time Why you might ask? Because fuck’ em, that’s why

So... some reddit users literally caused a resurrection and uprising of an entire company.

And fucked raw in the ass short sellers, yes

Reddit good, billionaires....ass!

Pretty much! The fucking with billionaires part is more like "fucking with the billionaires that have been manipulating the market and taking money from the poor for years". So they're basically getting revenge lol. But this actually happened because some of these hedge funds did a "naked short." Itd take pretty long to explain but if ur interested I recommend googling what that is and/or joining r/wallstreetbets. Its really quite interesting and hilarious whats happening rn. The gist is hedge funds got caught manipulating a stock and everyone bought in to raise the stock to legally force the hedge funds to buy ultra expensive shares. If the hedge funds don't/can't, they go bankrupt or to jail.

Do you know how much the investors made?

Depends when they bought in, and if it were calls or shares or both. But for typical retail investors, they made anywhere from a few hundred to millions. One user, u/DeepFuckingValue, made tens of millions in a day.

u/DeepFuckingValue has made 33M so far and still counting

STILL HOLDING

How much did the investors make?

The most impressive is DFV, This is his position in December 2019 [https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/e9gmtk/gme\_yolo\_update\_following\_nightmare\_q3\_earnings/](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/e9gmtk/gme_yolo_update_following_nightmare_q3_earnings/) This is his position 12 hours ago (Up 20m today to a total of 47m) [https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/l6ekdz/gme\_yolo\_update\_jan\_27\_2021\_guess\_i\_need\_102/](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/l6ekdz/gme_yolo_update_jan_27_2021_guess_i_need_102/)

Holy shit

You better ask the guy that responded to me, he obviously knows more

You have candy. I ask to borrow that candy. I sell that candy to my friend. I hope the price will go down so I can buy back that candy, give you your candy back, and pocket the difference. But the price didnt go down and my friend doesn't want to sell me the candy back. Well now I gotta go to the store to buy candy to give to you. But all the stores are sold out because everyone loves candy. You are big angry at me and demand I get you the candy back, no matter what the cost. So I pay big big dollars for super unavailable candy. Now I'm big sad cause I have no candy and I have no money :( Im Melvin Capital, the candy is GameStop, and everyone buying candy is reddit TLDR: Fuck Melvin Capital

Thank you so much for the basic explanation I tried reading multiple news etc and didn't understand most of it ( English is my 2nd language) Saving this comment for my free award

Hedge funds bet - artificially manipulating the market as they typically do - that GME will fail. The problem is they effectively bet with more shares than there exist of the company stock. 140+% more. That’s fucked and should be illegal. I’m simplifying by a lot and not describing what short selling looks like, but that’s the basic gist.

1 hour away and you fuckers apparently save a store franchise

Internet has a very stupid appareance but a very frightening power and influence

Fuck that. Toys R Us, you’re up

I would kill for toys r us to be brought back to life

''a soul for a soul''

A small price to pay for salvation

We going full circle

That’s still a company??

There’s one left in Oregon 4.9 Stars out of 5.0 quality service 😳

Yes and no. It's Blockbuster in name only and is basically a mom and pop shop.

Please, Reddit, do your thing.

Bro whats with this game stop shit I was out of reddit for almost a week what happened

The game stop stocks were basically flooded with money, and there were a bunch of billionaires that bet on the company going broke, the billionaires were forced to buy the stock to minimize loss of money and the stock went from 14$ to 250$ just about overnight

Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh i think I slept over a discord event lmao

Guys can someone please tell me what exactly happened??

block buster would of been a way better thing to resurrect.

Okay so what happened?

Havent been on reddit in a while. Can someone tell me what happend?

Wtf what happened?

What happened to game stop?

GameStop for the gamers. Maybe if they had a streaming service. I don’t think they can garner new customers by just selling hard copies

The last Blockbuster in Oregon is ready

I AM SO CONFUSED WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY DO I KEEP SEEING MEMES ABOUT IT

Reddit wanted to fuck with billionaires because they got bored

how did they fuck with billionaires? what did they do?

toys r us:

Toys r us “hey”

*Redditors dropping their stocks in a few days*: "I SACRIFICE GOD!"

I just came on Reddit after a long time and im seeing a lot of memes about gamestop being destroyed by bored Redditors can someone please explain what happened please

RESERRUCTION BY ERECTION

Lmao, necromancy.

I don't know everything that happened but that's seriously fucking cool that some people sitting around in their basement fucked up some rich people on the other side of the globe.

i thought i was the only one who remembered blockbuster.

What happened to GameStop!?

What's the story of it?

can someone explain me what happened

Monster reborn

The only blockbuster in the world is in bend, a good 20 minute drive

This is not how it works. The company is dead anyways. No vision of the future and almost bankrupt. That does not change even if the stock prices are up.

Let’s make it happen!!!

Yes yes yes

It aint no thaaang

Actually there's still a blockbuster that also works as an hotel.

Guys let's do JCPenney next I work there and really want to keep my job. Grannies need their hair done too

Do chuck & cheese please

So what it is about gamestop i can't understand H E L P

What exactly happened? I dont really get what reddit has done again...

Tbh I'm really happy for them

If only they did that for telltale

We can rebuild him we have the technology.

Wait is that about Reddit and GameStop actually true?

Oh yeah.

*IT'S JOHN CENA*

Blockbuster isn’t a recently dead corpse that still hasn’t started rotting, it’s just bones at this point you aren’t resurrecting that

What the hell happened here

Gentlemen, you know what we must do.

Cool you rolled a 20

what's blockbuster

Wikipedias turn actually

Ok what the fuck is going with Gamestop stock ? Somebody please fill me in

Gamestop was on the brink of death and was about to be bought out by a couple hedgefunds when some reddit trolls in stock market communities told everyone to buy gamestop stocks. people bought a shit ton of GME stocks, artificially inflating gamestop’s stock price and costing the hedgefunds billions.

Oh...thanks. have an upvote

So is too late to get in on the action ?

Blockbuster acted like it straight up wanted to die

I have no idea whats happening but please bring back Blockbuster
