Blockbuster CEO: Should Jim Keyes Be Replaced? NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Blockbuster ( BLOAQ.PK) is reportedly looking to replace CEO Jim Keyes. But how much blame can be placed on Keyes for Blockbuster's recent bankruptcy filing? Keyes took the reins in mid-2007, replacing John Antioco, and inheriting a mess of problems.
Hereâs the real story: in 2006 and 2007, Blockbuster had Netflix on the ropes and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings was asking them to acquire his company. No, Blockbuster didnât fail because of the competition; it failed because of boardroom infighting and one of the most disastrous CEO changes in American business history. At a conference call with analysts in 2007, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings mentioned Blockbuster 22 times. He admitted they had not yet formulated a plan to stop Blockbuster stealing their customers at the rate of a million a year. He said Blockbuster had thrown everything at them but the kitchen sink.
