Blockbuster Release Date & Time

Now that the month of spooky movies is finally over, November brings exciting films and TV shows that audiences have been waiting for. A very clear example is Blockbuster, one of this month’s most acclaimed titles.

A TV show that will star Randall Park alongside Melissa Fumero, Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s star. This time the plot will be set in the last Blockbuster video store in the United States of America, where we will see that although it is not easy to renew a dying business, our main characters will try to do whatever it takes.

But what is Blockbuster, and what is its history?

Well, for those who don’t know, in the early 2000s, Blockbuster was one of the largest video rental franchises, with thousands of locations around the world. In fact, it was founded in 1985 by David Cook, who, with the help of his wife, found movie rentals a form of business. 

To achieve this, Cook used his knowledge of databases, and eventually the company’s first location was opened in Dallas in the same year, and just two years later it had more than 15 stores of its own, which were a sensation among movie lovers.

Latin America, such as Peru and Argentina, among others. However, in places like Spain, they had to close earlier than expected because piracy in the country had begun to seriously affect their profits.

Nonetheless, it did not take long for it to be affected by the appearance of other services to enjoy movies, so in 2010, the company had to close. 

Currently, there is only one location in Bend, Oregon (USA) that still operates thanks to the fact that the brand has an agreement with Dish Network (a satellite television company that bought it to turn it into a streaming platform).

Curiously, it is said that in 2000, the owners of Blockbuster had the opportunity to buy Netflix; at that time, the streaming platform was just starting; nevertheless, the shareholders of the video rental company believed that the service would not be profitable. Although it is well known, Netflix has been a boom since its launch, and the rest is history.

Now, due to the importance and popularity it had at the time, a television series has recently been made about the “last company store in existence” and how the workers strive to keep it running.

Will they manage to do it without losing their comedic purpose? You’ll have to watch the show to find out. So with that in mind, let’s take a look at the broadcast details of the show in the next section of our article.

Blockbuster release date: Where to watch it online?

The long-awaited comedy will be released exclusively by the streaming giant Netflix and will be available starting November 3, 2022. It will feature 10 episodes and is expected to have more than one season, although of course that depends on people’s acceptance.

Can I watch Blockbuster for free on Netflix?

Netflix is still undoubtedly the world’s largest streaming platform, and one of the most important reasons behind its success is the presence of a free trial for new users. 

However, those days are long gone, as the service no longer offers free trials to new users. Although you can rely on the offers mentioned below to get a free Netflix subscription:

• Jio Postpaid Plans start at Rs. 399.
• Vi Redx plan at Rs 1099 per month.
• The free year-long subscription with Verizon Fios.
• T-Mobile will give basic and standard subscriptions at $8.99 and $13.99.

And that’s all from us. You already know the details you need to be in context and be able to watch the series with peace of mind, so are you ready for Blockbuster?
