Movie Gallery owns 16 locations in the Richmond area, and seven stores are currently having closing sales, according to its website.
In the new filing the company reported between $10 million and $50 million in assets, and $500 million to $1 billion in liabilities.
This is the second time the company filed for bankruptcy. The last time was in 2007, also filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Richmond.
