I think what's he's saying is that it's a bad business model for Hollywood, but it's exactly the kind of business model people are willing to pay for.

If you reduce your price by 10x then you need to attract 10x as much custom to break even. I don't think it's a given at all that moving to internet streaming and ultra cheap pricing is going to be good for business.
That's not 10x cheaper. Blockbuster or any other brick and mortar video rental shop have similar pricing. Buying a movie and renting a movie are different things.
