- BB Liquidating Inc. (BLIAQ), formerly Blockbuster Inc., operates as a shell company in the process of liquidating its remaining assets with no principal products, services, customers, or intellectual property; previously, it provided video tape and disc rentals, operated and franchised entertainment-related stores offering movie and video game rentals, DVD-by-mail, streaming, video on demand, and in-store retail across the United States and internationally, targeting consumers in the home entertainment sector. Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, the company functions as a subsidiary of DISH Network Corporation and ceased active operations following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on September 23, 2010, which converted to Chapter 7 liquidation on July 16, 2013; it changed its name to BB Liquidating Inc. in August 2011 amid the wind-down process, with no reported recent partnerships, funding rounds, acquisitions, new product launches, or strategic expansions in the last several years.
