   • An inability to pivot quickly. Blockbuster was skeptical about the potential of renting DVDs online and sending them to customers via mail the way Netflix did.
   • Poor execution. One of Blockbuster’s main sources of revenues were late fees. If you didn’t return your movie rental on time you were charged a dollar a day.
   • Inability to compete with larger rivals. While many focus on Netflix’s singular role in Blockbuster’s demise big box retailers like Walmart, Target and Best Buy also played a role.
