US Blockbuster's Rental Charges Key

As noted in Video Business, Blockbuster's US division will focusing on boosting its rental profits vice pushing its new digital delivery service. It plans to improve earning by renegotiating better terms from the Hollywood studios.

Blockbuster Chief Financial Officer Thomas Casey noted that digital download spending was still "nominal" and "wouldn't have a material effect on earning until at least 2011."

This tracks with our thinking in Australia, that online distribution is becoming a greater player, but will lag online DVD rental for several years, and in that time most DVD rental stores will likely close, though DVD rental kiosks may fill some of that void in high foot traffic areas.
