Another victim in the UK high street rampage (Blockbuster have around 1000 stores in the UK) and another round of new business for Deloitte! Deloitte have taken the honourable step of promising to honour all Blockbuster vouchers (e.g. vouchers to rent two movies a month for three months, and the like). Founded in Dallas in the era of the VHS, Blockbuster was already bankrupt in 2010, and rescued by US satellite TV operator Dish Network in 2011. Blockbuster has been overtaken to some degree by LoveFilm which has 40% of the rental market in the UK. Managing Director Martin Higgin's compensation in 2010 was £613,000, a ludicrous sum-of-money for a company that was basically being run "business-as-usual".
