DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

The Registration Statement on Form S–8 (Registration No. 333-109241) (the “Registration Statement”) of Movie Gallery, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pertaining to the registration of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) (as such amounts may have adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, distribution to stockholder other than a normal cash dividend, or similar adjustment), to which this Post–Effective Amendment No. 1 relates, was originally filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 29, 2003.

As previously reported, the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries (the “Reorganized Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”), on October 16, 2007 (the “Commencement Date”), in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the Eastern District of Virginia (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking reorganization relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). On May 20, 2008, the date of the Reorganized Debtors’ emergence from bankruptcy (the “Effective Date”), the Reorganized Debtors consummated the transactions contemplated by the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Movie Gallery, Inc. and its Debtor Subsidiaries Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code With Technical Modifications (the “Plan”). As provided in the Plan, the Company’s old common stock and other equity interests existing immediately prior to the Effective Date (including the shares and interests registered on the Registration Statement) were canceled for no consideration. As a result, the Company has terminated all offerings under the Registration Statement and, in accordance with an undertaking made by the Company to remove from registration, by means of a post–effective amendment, any securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement which remained unsold as of the Effective Date.
