Many comments referred to it but can be summarized in two words: "Netflix" & "Redbox". Inevitable and far, far less to do with the economy.

People are returning rentals, so even some of the newer stuff is still appearing on the shelves, though not, I suspect, for long (got a copy of Revolutionary Road and State of Play).

With Red Box units in places around town now, I'd rather take that limited selection for $1 and not having to remember a membership card than having to head to a separate store that's more expensive (and was usually out of most of the best movies anyway). Not to mention on-demand whether online or cable is pretty much the same price and just as cheap. Backstage with their automated 24-hour store has been my choice for blu-ray rentals since they opened anyway. I was surprised this didn’t happen earlier.

Then rental volume began to dwindle and it was only a matter of time. When the emergence of Netflix forced Blockbuster to cease charging late fees their business model was busted beyond recovery.
