Returns rented movie to where??
I still have Blockbusters Rocky III that I rented in 1991. No kidding.
@Artax 🤣 I’ve spent the whole afternoon looking through old boxes for it.
this isn’t news. lame story.
Phew! Was relieved by the ending. 😂
You can’t charge more than the price of the movie anyway. It’s how it was at blockbuster.
Never heard of the movie.
One time in the 90s my mother accidentally stepped on a rented vhs 📼 movie think it was Johnny mnemonic with Keanu reeves. She had to pay the stores $50 to replace it because I guess they have to pay more for the tapes to rent them out or something.
That’s right stores do pay more. I remember when Rambo cost about 120-130 per copy for a small independent store. Then the store could sell that used copy at a discount. Side Note: My opinion is that when Walmart and blockbuster entered the Canadian market that’s when prices dropped ridiculous low.
@jay lee You are right thanks for sharing
I never returned my Laser Disc in 1983. I hope i don,t get a bill like this.
The place wher you rent laser disc most probably ended up in collections. You may get the bill from the the court in offsetting their millions in debts.
There are still video stores out there?
Yes a few small ones still rent DVDs. 😮
Like he said, it probably got lost then found later or the renter died and it was later found by whoever inherited the stuff or whatever. Regardless, nobody would be charged $2,700 in late fees; any type of rental system will just charge you the full price of replacing an item after a certain amount of time, they don’t keep the tab running indefinitely. 🙄
Why’d he even return it. That movie’s awesome! But seriously, the real role model here is Tom. Bravo for keeping a much loved institution of the past going!
Somebody tell this guy, what we have Internet now …
Finally a real story you had to makeup. Seems more like the movie the number 9 and the late fee has a hidden puzzle 🤔
This charge may be coming from the court in offsetting the debts owing from bankruptcy.
Plus rewind fee.
I have a copy of Nagano ’98 for PlayStation from Blockbuster. Suck it Blockbuster.

This is news in Canada….
OK, so he WASN’T charged $2,767 like your click-bait title suggests.
