I read this today in the Sun financial pages:
BLOCKBUSTER will have an even bigger choice of videos after ending a war yesterday with movie giants WARNER.
The huge rental chain which has 700 stores in the UK has refused to stock some of Warners recent hits, which include Scooby Doo and Halle Berry action-flick Swordfish.
The row started when Warner began releasing films for rental and for sale at the same time.
It meant Blockbuster part of an American corporation didnt have a chance to rent out the titles before they went on sale.
Now Warner has agreed to stagger releases again as long as Blockbuster stocks all its titles.
Warners US home video boss Neil McEwan said: It is important that our titles are available in Blockbuster UK.
