An independent movie studio has asked a judge to force Blockbuster Inc. to pay its bills or go into liquidation.

According to court documents, Blockbuster told Summit Distribution LLC, the studio behind the hit “Twilight” films, that it would not pay $6.8 million it owed for DVDs shipped since it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September, because it did not have the money. In documents filed with a U.S. bankruptcy court in Manhattan on Tuesday, Summit said Blockbuster representatives spoke with management on January 28 and “to Summit’s surprise and dismay, the debtors informed Summit that the debtors would not pay Summit with respect to products that were shipped post-petition, because the debtors lacked the funds to do so.”

If Blockbuster was forced into a Chapter 7 liquidation, a trustee would likely replace the company’s management and the rental-chain could be force to sell or close all of its operations to pay off debts.

Blockbuster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September, after months of struggling to compete with video-on-demand competitors and mail-order pioneer Netflix Inc. The company has been working on a business plan that includes closing man of it’s 3,000 U.S. stores.
