Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure

As previously reported, as of Blockbuster’s fiscal year end, January 3, 2010, the Company expects to have $247.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, which includes approximately $59 million in restricted cash for its letters of credit. The financial information included in this 8-K is preliminary and subject to change because the Company is in the process of finalizing its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 3, 2010.

Under the terms of the indenture related to the Company’s $675 million 11.75% senior secured notes offering, which was completed on October 1, 2009, the first principal and interest payment was due on January 1, 2010. However, where a principal or interest payment date is not a business day, the terms of the indenture provide for payment on the next succeeding business day, which, for the January 1, 2010 payment, was January 4, 2010. On January 4, 2010, the Company timely paid the $22.5 million amortization payment and the $19.8 million interest payment required under the indenture.
