If Blockbuster is a company in desperate need of a script doctor, the man it has chosen for the task — James W. Keyes, the former chief executive of 7-Eleven — could perhaps be described as a master of rewrite.

Brian Harkin for The New York Times

James W. Keyes of Blockbuster must meet competition from Netflix, video-on-demand services and TiVo.

At 7-Eleven, he built smaller stores at a time when other chains were building bigger ones. While competitors were still letting distributors choose which beer and potato chip varieties they should stock, he moved to an automated system that made such decisions internally and store-by-store.

The moves paid off. When Mr. Keyes, 52, left 7-Eleven three years ago, he had overseen 36 consecutive quarters of revenue growth. In 1990, the company was in bankruptcy; in 2004, his last full year at the helm, it posted a profit of $106 million.

Blockbuster, by contrast, has posted losses in 9 of the last 10 years, has closed hundreds of stores, and has had customers siphoned off by Netflix. The previous chief executive, John Antioco, resigned after a protracted dispute with the board over salary.

Although Mr. Keyes just took the top post at Blockbuster this month and has yet to articulate a full strategy, he said in an interview that a few of his tried-and-true strategies might work well at the video rental

He was recently charged $40 for returning a DVD or video late to Blockbuster and felt that his gym had a better management system, with their monthly subscription pricing strategy, than Blockbuster. He used this idea to create the concept of a monthly subscription DVD delivery service. He used the quote of Einstein and “seen what everyone has seen (In terms of Blockbuster) and thought of something no one else had thought”.

    Its suppliers, the movie studios, had to charge a high initial price to earn enough revenue themselves. But at $3 per rental, Blockbuster had to rent a tape more than 20 times to earn a profit. Given that peak demand for a title lasts only a few weeks, the company couldn’t justify buying enough tapes to even come close to satisfying initial demand. The studios’ high wholesale price limited availability, and no one—not the supplier, not the retailer, not the customer—was happy.…

    Blockbuster is a company that encountered major problems when internet companies sprang up to offer faster service and lower prices. Blockbuster failed to respond with a positive change and as a result they filed for bankruptcy. If I were the CEO of the company and had recognized the need for change, I believe I would have attempted to fine tune the organization. I would have refined processes for the customer to purchase or rent the product. To do this, they could have gone to an online streaming format such as the one that Netflix uses.…

    Blockbuster, the movie and video game superstore, has come to a close. It was established on October 19, 1985. In the beginning of this company's journey, it reached a total of over 8,000 stores and almost 60,000 employees. The company was very popular, considering the low priced rentals or easy deliveries through the mail. However, over the years, there has been many obstacles standing in Blockbuster's way that eventually ran them out of business due to bankruptcy. Blockbuster began to close certain stores in 2013, but officially closed its doors in early January of 2014.

    Blockbuster has had many challenges when it comes to the law. Netflix has always felt Blockbuster has tried to steal many of its ideas. Netflix runs its operations where customers will setup an account, pick the movies they want to watch, and setup a payment plan (Sanders). Since the dawn of Netflix, millions have joined and have enjoyed the benefits of not having to drive to the store to rent movies. Blockbuster has known that Netflix was a rival from the very beginning. Blockbuster enacted a late fee policy a few years prior to Netflix being born. When Netflix enacted the no late fee policy and prepaid shipping labels to and from, business shifted from Blockbuster to Netflix. To rebound against Netflix, Blockbuster began its very own mailing program where its customers would get unlimited rentals and only charge a one time monthly fee. Then Blockbuster began an online service to allow customers to stream movies right to their computers and pick the movies they couldn’t watch online shipped to their house. Netflix filed a lawsuit against Blockbuster for patent infringement (Sanders). There were two patents that Blockbuster copied from Netflix: The first patent which was issued to Netflix in 1999 included the process where customers can pick and choose movies from the convenience of their home (Sanders). The second patent that was copied just this year was where customers would receive one or two movies at a time and not incur any late fees (Sanders). Movies would be exchanged once a movie is returned to the processing plant. Netflix stated in a news brief, “Since we had the forethought to patent its ideas, Blockbuster has no right to use them (Sanders).” Blockbuster commented on this statement saying “it is trying to force it into the red.” Blockbuster feels that Netflix is attempting a monopoly. With more competition against Netflix, profits began to decline. The big question behind all of this comes down to,…
