MOVIE GALLERY TO INTRODUCE ONLINE VIDEO RENTAL SERVICE AND
        EXTEND AUTOMATED VIDEO VENDING MACHINE PROGRAM

DOTHAN, Ala., March 19, 2007 -- Movie Gallery, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOVI)
today announced that it will launch an online video rental service
in mid-to-late 2007.  The pilot phase implementation will be a
low-cost "friends and family" program that will provide existing
customers with another easy way to rent movies.  The Company believes
that this new channel will complement its retail brick and mortar
business and enhance consumer convenience and satisfaction.

Movie Gallery also announced today that it is extending its movie
kiosk program, which operates automated movie vending machines in
supermarkets, malls and other high traffic areas.  The Company
currently has approximately 74 kiosk units in operation under the
Hollywood Video brand and plans to rollout approximately 200
additional units during the course of 2007.  The kiosk units provide
around the clock availability of movies with minimal overhead and
fixed costs.

"Together with our recently completed MovieBeam transaction, the
introduction of Movie Gallery's online video rental service and the
extension of our movie kiosk program demonstrate our commitment to
providing our customers with movies how they want them, when they
want them and where they want them," said Joe Malugen, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Movie Gallery.  "While we
firmly believe that our retail brick and mortar stores will remain
the foundation of our business, over the past three years we have
been diligently pursuing alternative delivery platforms to further
complement our base business.  After considerable research and
testing, we believe that we can enter into the online space in a
cost-effective manner without spending significant resources on
advertising to acquire new customers.  Our goal is to increase
customer satisfaction and retention by providing consumers with the
benefits of greater choice and convenience."
