One Millionth PowerPlay(TM) Members Win Home Theater Systems

~ Movie Gallery and Hollywood Video Reward Lucky Customers with the Ultimate
in Home Entertainment ~

WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- In less than three months, Movie
Gallery and Hollywood Video stores have signed up more than one million
customers to their new membership program. To celebrate the millionth member
milestone of the company's innovative PowerPlay(TM) program, Movie Gallery,
Inc. is rewarding four customers -- all of whom signed up simultaneously at
stores across North America -- with a complete home theater system and a
six-month PowerPlay membership at their local store.

"We recognize that people are cutting back on their entertainment spending and
we're thrilled to see people taking advantage of our affordable new membership
program," says Sherif Mityas, chief executive officer, Movie Gallery, Inc.
"The millionth members deserve something special and this prize package
reinforces our dedication to providing great entertainment experiences. Soon,
we will introduce innovative new services that will change the movie rental
landscape and we expect to see the same enthusiasm from customers that they
have shown for PowerPlay."

In March 2009, Movie Gallery, Inc. introduced PowerPlay, a convenient movie
and video game membership program that offers the least expensive rentals in
the industry, with no due dates or late fees on any movie rental. Reaction to
the program has been so positive that on Thursday, May 7th, these four
customers entered a Hollywood Video or Movie Gallery store, signed up for a
PowerPlay membership and became the millionth customers:

-- Mark and Deborah Sterner, who purchased their PowerPlay membership at
Hollywood Video in Spring City, Pa.
-- Sharon Provost, who purchased her PowerPlay membership at Hollywood
Video in Philomath, Ore.
-- Dale Braembruch, who purchased his PowerPlay membership at Movie
Gallery
in Edson, Alberta, Canada

-- Renee Stevenson, who purchased her PowerPlay membership at Movie
Gallery
in Muldrow, Okla.

Home Theater Prize Overview
The prize package allows the winners to experience the magic of the movies in
each of their own living rooms. Valued at $1,300 each, the packages include a
46" Full HD LCD TV and a DVD Home Theater System.

Movie Gallery, Inc. will deliver and set up the in-home experience for each
winner.

PowerPlay Overview
With PowerPlay, customers save money on all types of rentals including library
movies for just $2.00, $3.00 new releases, Blu-ray DVDs for $4.00 and $5.00
video games. In Canada, the costs are $1 more for each type of rental. There
are no late fees or due dates on any movie rentals, which makes PowerPlay a
better value than any other service in the marketplace. Another unique feature
of PowerPlay is that customers can carry over unused points from one month to
the next, ensuring that they get maximum value from their membership plan.

Movie and video game enthusiasts can take advantage of PowerPlay by signing up
at their local Movie Gallery or Hollywood Video store, which feature thousands
of titles. Customers simply select the plan that works best for them. They
receive a monthly allotment of points for movie and video game rentals based
on the plan they join. There is no membership card required -- points are
automatically redeemed at the register the same as cash for any rentals.
PowerPlay members also receive discounts on other items throughout the store,
such as concessions.
