MovieStop was a retailer of new and used movies and related merchandise. It was founded in 2004 as a division of GameStop.[2] GameStop spun off MovieStop to private owners in 2012.[3] In November 2014 MovieStop was purchased by Draw Another Circle LLC, the parent company of Hastings Entertainment.[1] The company website was folded into GoHastings.com the next year. As of November 2014, MovieStop operated 44 stores in 10 U.S. states.[1] The company folded on July 28 2016, following Hastings' declaration of bankruptcy and subsequent closure.
