PROFILE |
 |
When it comes to renting movies, this company is a Blockbuster. Blockbuster is the world's largest video rental chain, with about 5,000 company-owned or franchised US stores and almost 2,500 stores in 26 other countries. The company rents more than 1 billion videos, DVDs, and video games at its Blockbuster Video outlets each year. It also operates Blockbuster.com and has marketing partnerships with companies such as AOL Time Warner and DIRECTV. Entertainment giant Viacom owns 82% of Blockbuster (96% of voting power) after taking 18% of the company public in 1999. Viacom announced two years later that it had abandoned plans to sell the rest of the company to Viacom shareholders.
