Blockbuster Inc. (Dallas) is expected to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy within the next few days, reports The Wall Street Journal.

The retailer has more than $900 million in debt and has struggled to stay viable as consumers’ movie and game rental habits have moved from rental stores to mail and Internet-based services.

Blockbuster's restructuring plans would include closing all but a select number of stores while ramping up its digital distribution offering, according to The Journal.
