WILMINGTON, Del. — Blockbuster Inc.’s landlords want to evict the bankrupt movie rental chain from dozens of stores if they are not immediately paid past-due rent, adding to the company’s woes in Chapter 11.

Blockbuster is facing demands from the film studio behind the hit Twilight vampire series that it pay its bills or liquidate. The video rental company did not immediately return a call for a comment about such claims.
