Overview

Like a Shannon Tweed flick, Hollywood Entertainment hopes you'll skip the theaters and go straight to video. The #2 USvideo chain, behind Blockbuster, it runs about 1,900 Hollywood Video rental superstores in 47 states and the District ofColumbia. Hollywood Video stores also rent video games and game players, VCRs, DVDs, and audio books. In−storevideo game department Game Crazy (in about 600 stores) buys, sells, and trades used and new game software, hardware,and accessories. The stores are primarily located in strip malls or other high−traffic locales. Stung by losses from itsReel.com e−commerce unit, the company handed over sales operations to Amazon.com, while continuing to provide thesite's content.

At an average of 6,800 sq. ft. per store, Hollywood Video stores typically dwarf the competition. Most stores stock about10,000 titles and allow renters to keep videos and DVDs for five days. Game Crazy departments are typically 800 sq. ft.and stock over 2,500 video game titles.

The company has halted its expansion efforts (in the late 1990s it opened hundreds of stores each year) and is insteadfocusing on improving existing−store operations including adding Game Crazy departments (almost 320 were added in2003 and 150 are planned for 2004). Hollywood is also testing a DVD−only store format. It has also been testing anin−store subscription−based membership in about 10 of its stores. The program allows members to check out 2 movies ata time with no return due date for about $20 a month.

Hollywood Entertainment has been hurt by the price−cutting efforts of other online video sellers and mass merchandisersthat sell videos and DVDs at a loss in order to increase traffic.

With the help of investment banking firm Leonard Green & Partners, Hollywood is going private. The transaction shouldbe completed sometime after the summer, 2004.

History

Mark Wattles founded two video ventures before opening what would be the beginning of Hollywood Entertainment. Thefirst was a store in Portland, Oregon, called Downtown Video (founded in 1985 and sold the next year). The other wasConvenience Video Rentals, which set up video sections in convenience stores. After failing to convince fellowConvenience Video Rentals investors to open video superstores, Wattles quit the venture and launched the Home TheaterVideo Superstore in 1988.

Wattle changed the name of the store to Hollywood Video in 1989 and opened about five new stores a year until 1993,when it went public. It expanded rapidly to more than 110 stores in eight states by the end of 1994.

Hollywood Entertainment's spectacular early growth (192 units added in 1995; 250 in 1996) was fueled by the opening ofnew stores and the acquisition of regional chains, including 14 Title Wave Video stores and 42 Video Watch stores, bothin the Midwest (1995).

To handle its rapid growth, the company reorganized in 1996, decentralizing by setting up four regional zones overseenby its SVPs. The rapid growth continued in 1997 when it opened 356 stores. Moving into a new realm, in 1998Hollywood Entertainment paid $90 million for Reel.com, an online retailer of videos. (The company had passed up acheaper acquisition of Reel.com in 1997.) The deal made Reel.com shareholder CMGI a major owner of HollywoodEntertainment's stock. A change in accounting contributed to a loss for the year.

The company opened 353 stores in 1998, 355 in 1999, and 208 in 2000 before scaling back its expansion plans to about adozen per year. In June 2000 Hollywood Entertainment gave up on Reel.com, whose marketing costs and price discountshad plunged the parent company into the red.

In 2002 the company opened around 35 stores mainly in California and Texas, and opened almost 90 in 2003.
