Blockbuster and Netflix may have settled their year-old online patent lawsuit — details confidential, natch — but Dallas-based Blockbuster has other, uh, blockbuster news: The company’s about to shutter 282 stores in order to “improve operating margins and expand domestic share,” according to an Associated Press piece that just came down the river.
