'We are working on rewinding your movie,' says the newly revived Blockbuster.com home page.
Fans of throwback movie rental chain Blockbuster are keeping an eye out for some kind of remake after the company’s website returned from the dead in recent days.
A visit to Blockbuster.com now directs to a message reading, “We are working on rewinding your movie.” And on a mobile site: “Be kind while we rewind.” Still, no spoilers in this drama yet from the ownership. Dish Network DISH didn’t immediately return MarketWatch’s request for confirmation that the revised website indicated rebirth of the Blockbuster brand.
The company’s single remaining real-life store, still operating as a Bend, Ore., franchise, has become a popular attraction, serving as a museum as much as a rental spot. It was even briefly an Airbnb listing. Like in Alaska’s last two Blockbuster stores — community gathering spots and nostalgic tourist attractions that got a big plug from HBO’s John Oliver — which shuttered in 2018.
