Blockbuster: Breaking News

Blockbuster Bankruptcy Warning Causes Shares To Fall
NEW YORK — Shares of Blockbuster Inc. sank 30 percent Wednesday after the video rental chain warned that it may have to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Competition from DVD-by-mail company Netflix Inc. and DVD vending machines operated by Coinstar Inc. have eroded the Dallas company’s revenue even as it staggers under a heavy debt load. Blockbuster Inc. said in a regulatory filing late Tuesday that it was suffering “significant liquidity constraints,” and could have to file for bankruptcy protection if it was unable to convince creditors to restructure a big chunk of its debt or its business continued to deteriorate. The company has had to close about 1,300 stores and wants to shut down hundreds more. It had about 5,200 stores worldwide in January, excluding franchised shops.

Blockbuster DVD chain warns it faces bankruptcy
Heavily indebted movie rental chain warns of danger of bankruptcy as it fights to keep up with interest payments and changing technologyAfter 15 years as a high street stalwart, the heavily indebted DVD rental chain Blockbuster has warned that it is in danger of declaring bankruptcy as it faces a possible credit squeeze by Hollywood studios and struggles to keep up with movie buffs’ changing technological habits.The Dallas-based company is labouring under $975m (£635m) of debt, largely inherited when the business was spun out of the media conglomerate Viacom six years ago. After hefty interest repayments, Blockbuster lost $569m during 2009.In a filing with US regulators, Blockbuster revealed it was in negotiations with top Hollywood studios about the financial terms on which they provide DVDs to its stores. If the studios decide Blockbuster’s finances are impaired, they could rewrite the day-to-day credit terms on which they do business with the company ” forcing it to make upfront cash commitments.”We are currently experiencing significant liquidity constraints,” said Blockbuster’s disclosure. “Should we not be able to generate sufficient cashflow from operations and should the studios tighten or eliminate credit terms, we may determine that it is in the company’s best interests to voluntarily seek relief through a pre-packaged, pre-arranged or other type of filing under chapter 11 of the US bankruptcy code.”Under bankruptcy, Blockbuster would stay in business but would seek court approval to renegotiate its finances. The warning prompted Blockbuster’s shares to dive by 13 cents to just 26 cents on Wall Street, giving the business, which has 5,200 stores around the world, a market capitalisation of barely $50m.Blockbuster has found it tough to keep up with technological changes in movie viewing. In its core US market, the company lost customers to a phenomenally popular mail-order DVD service, Netflix.

Jud SÃ¼ss: the Nazis’ inglorious blockbuster
A new film about the making of Joseph Goebbels’s 1940 attempt to outdo Hollywood is itself attracting controversyIt is still one of the most notorious films ever made: a perfidious, rabble-rousing, antisemitic product of the Nazi era, an infamous work of propaganda that is still kept under lock and key in the German film archives since it was banned in 1945. Jud SÃ¼ss, originally made in 1940 and currently available for viewing only by a handful of bona fide academics and film historians, is back in the public eye owing to a new film about its creation, in what is the latest attempt by German cinema to dramatise the country’s recent past.Jud SÃ¼ss: A Film Without a Conscience premiered at the Berlin film festival last week, and tells the story behind the Nazi project to make a historical costume melodrama so powerful and star-studded that it had the potential to take the wind out of Hollywood’s sails, as well as performing its main task of inciting anti-Jewish sentiments.The first Jud SÃ¼ss was conceived by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels as an answer to the successful British film Jew Suss, made in 1934 and starring the German actor Conrad Veidt (recently escaped from Germany). Jew Suss itself was adapted from a 1925 anti-Nazi novel by German-Jewish writer and one-time Brecht collaborator Lion Feuchtwanger about a well-known historical figure, Joseph SÃ¼ss Oppenheimer, who was a “court Jew” in 18th-century WÃ¼rttemberg. The British film was a thinly veiled plea on behalf of the victimised Jewish population of Nazi Germany, and enjoyed success in Britain and the United States, but was banned in Vienna, where it censors did not like its pro-semitic tone.The Goebbels “remake”, on the other hand stressed the Nazi stereotypes of Jews as crafty, untrustworthy, hooked-nosed beings. Feuchtwanger’s version of the SÃ¼ss story has Suss Oppenheimer achieving great wealth, but turning against his protector when the duke tries to rape his daughter. In the Goebbels film, which was directed by Veit Harlan, SÃ¼ss’s brazen actions almost cause civil war to break out in the dukedom and end with him raping a German girl, torturing her father and fiancee, before he is tried and hanged himself.To increase its impact, the film opened simultaneously in 80 Berlin cinemas.

Hiroshima blockbuster under threat after US airman’s tale unravels
¢ Avatar director Cameron has film rights to book¢ Veteran’s account of flight dismissed as inaccurateThere can be few more exciting prospects for a non-fiction author than to have James Cameron take out an option on a book. The director recently broke his own record by amassing $2bn in world box-office takings for Avatar, making the film the highest grossing in history.Cameron has now bought the film rights to a book of survivors’ stories from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, prompting speculation that his next blockbuster will focus on one of the seminal tales of 20th-century destruction.The Last Train from Hiroshima, by science writer Charles Pellegrino, takes place over two days and weaves together the stories of Japanese survivors with the memories of US air force personnel who accompanied the bomb, dubbed Little Boy, on its journey to kill 70,000 people.The potential transition from book to Cameron movie has hit a glitch, however, with the revelation that important parts of the book are based on the testimony of an American veteran that appears to have been fabricated. According to the New York Times, the passages of the book that rely on the account of the veteran, Joseph Fuoco, have been denounced by a wide range of Hiroshima survivors, historians and scientists, who claim Fuoco is an imposter.In the book, Pellegrino relates how Fuoco flew with the bomb in one of two accompanying planes that travelled alongside the Enola Gay on 6 August 1945. Fuoco was added to the crew at the last minute to replace a flight engineer said to have fallen ill.Fuoco’s memories, recounted to Pellegrino, led the author to assert in his book an important revision to the official history of Hiroshima.While the bomb was being loaded at an airbase on the Pacific island of Tinian, the book claims, there was an accident in which an American scientist died and which seriously depleted the destructive potential of the bomb.But the family of the sick engineer said to have been stood down, James Corliss, who died in 1999, have responded with fury to the suggestion that he was not on board. “We’re so distraught. Thank God he’s not alive.
