Cinemasmith Sale!

Brookline Booksmith's Cinemasmith is closing shop. Perhaps the store was cannibalized by Netflix? We don't know. Whatever the reason, the store's shuttering its movie business, and you stand to benefit. Old classics, foreign movies, and films from the Criteron Collection are on sale starting at $5. The store has to move over 3000 titles, so you'll have your pick of the movie crop. Stop by 279 Harvard Street in Brookline to take advantage of the store closing.

    As I understand the use of "cannibalized" in a business context, it means that the "eaten" component and the "eater" are owned by the same parent company. Starbucks A three doors down from Starbucks B is Starbucks cannibalizing; two newly merged book imprints competing for the same adoptions is cannibalizing the textbook market of the parent co.; but one business going under because another business provides the same product in a different manner isn't quite cannibalism.



    I could be wrong, but I think cannibalising the market has a different denotation than as used here, if what you do mean is "Netflix PWND Cinemasmith," which is what I thought you meant.
