Blockbuster Video may be making a comeback in a new form as a nightclub, bar, restaurant, and amusement park, according to a recent Instagram post.

The owner of the Blockbuster trademark has filed an application to use the brand in various new ventures, including entertainment services and bar and restaurant services. In the ’90s, Blockbuster attempted to expand its brand with an indoor theme park called Block Party, but the venture was ultimately unsuccessful.

Blockbuster filed for bankruptcy in 2010 and closed most of its stores as the industry shifted to streaming, leaving only one store in Bend, Oregon, still in operation.
