Blockbuster Laughed at Netflix. Then It Almost Won.

In 2000, Netflix offered to sell itself to Blockbuster for $50 million, and Blockbuster laughed. Everybody knows that part. What almost nobody remembers is that years later, Blockbuster was actually beating Netflix. Then a boardroom fight over a bonus changed everything. This is the real story of how the biggest name in movie rentals saw the future, built it, and still lost. If you were running Blockbuster in 2000, would you have paid $50 million for Netflix?
