Blockbuster is the biggest chain of video and DVD rental shops in the United States.

The phrase "blockbuster" which now typical means a financially sucessful film originates from the Royal Air Force in World War II where a 'blockbuster' was slang for a very large bomb which was capable of destroying an entire city block.
