                      Part II.  Rule 12b-25 (b) and (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed.  (Check appropriate box.)

[X]	(a)  The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of
this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
expense;

[X]	(b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
report on Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof
will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day following the
prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or

on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due
date; and

[ ]	(c)  The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule
12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

                          Part III.  Narrative

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed
within the prescribed time period.  (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

Movie Gallery, Inc. (the "Registrant") is unable to file its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2006
within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or
expense because of unanticipated delays in the preparation of the
report.  These delays are attributable in part to (1) the
integration of the financial reporting processes of the
Registrant with those of Hollywood Entertainment Corporation,
which the Registrant acquired during the quarter ended July 3,
2005 and (2) the concurrent negotiation and preparation of an
amendment to the Registrant's senior credit facility.  The
Registrant expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended January 1, 2006, prior to March 31, 2006.

                         Part IV.  Other Information

(1)  Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
            (Name)                       (Area code) (Telephone number)

(2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter
period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been
filed?  If the answer is no, identify report(s).
[X]  Yes  [ ]  No

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will
be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject
report or portion thereof?
[X]  Yes  [ ]  No

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons
why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

Based upon preliminary, unaudited results which are subject to change,
for the year ended January 1, 2006, the Registrant expects to report
total revenue of $1.99 billion, operating loss of $476.4 million and a
net loss of $556.3 million, or $17.65 per diluted share, which includes
charges for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets of
approximately $527.9 million, or $10.88 per diluted share, net of tax.
This is compared to revenue for 2004 of $791.2 million, operating income
of $87.6 million and net income of $49.5 million, or $1.52 per diluted
share.
