Netflix’s Plans To Open Physical Stores Spark Wry Responses From Blockbuster & Redbox

Video rental companies Blockbuster and Redbox have posted hilarious reactions to Netflix’s surprising new plans to open brick-and-mortar stores. Beginning its own operations as a mail-order DVD rental service, Netflix would ultimately change the face of modern entertainment by helping to usher in the age of internet streaming services, resulting in the closure of countless physical video stores in the process. Most recently it has been reported that the streaming giant now intends to open a network of physical stores offering retail, dining, and live entertainment options connected to its brand.
