The Last Blockbuster
In 2020 and in the midst of quarantine, Blockbuster became a trend on digital platforms because one of its stores was enabled as an Airbnb. But, how much did it cost to spend the night in the store and what benefits did it offer? In the following lines, we'll tell you everything.
The branch reached an agreement with an accommodation company to become a rental property, which was adapted so that guests could enjoy the entire catalog of movies and video games available in the store.

The owner of the last Blockbuster, Sandi Harding, only allowed the store to become an Airbnb for three days. In addition, there were several limitations, one of which was that interested parties had to live in Deschutes and it was only possible to rent for one night.
How much did it cost to spend the night in the last Blockbuster?
You might think that the rental price was quite high due to the short availability period, but no. The night in the establishment cost only 4 dollars (15 soles) for the experience.
What was inside the Blockbuster?
The store was specially decorated to receive guests. The owner took care of creating a nostalgic atmosphere from the 1990s, the golden age of the company. But what did the lucky guests find?
- A Sony VHS player and an antique television.
- Pizza, soft drinks, candy, and popcorn all for free during their stay.
- Face masks and disinfectant wipes.
