Movie Gallery Shutting Down All Stores

Bankrupt Movie Gallery, owner of Hollywood Video, will begin shutting down operations in about two weeks, followed by a nationwide liquidation sale, sources familiar with the chain said.
Store personnel at a Hollywood Video in Chino, Calif., confirmed the pending closure, saying the store had been notified April 30 that business would remain as usual for the next two weeks, followed by a two-day closing and then liquidation.
A manager at a Hollywood Video in Riverside, Calif., said liquidation would last anywhere from six to 10 weeks.
“I have mixed feelings about this,” he said. “What can you do?”
Gallery and Hollywood Video locations in Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina and Oregon also confirmed the pending shut down, according to a report by The Birmingham News.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the closure affects Gallery operations in Canada, which are not part of the bankruptcy filing.
Wilsonville, Ore.-based Gallery, in a recording, declined comment.
It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Feb. 3 for the second time, citing liabilities in excess of $540 million and domestic store base of 2,600 locations.
The chain lagged significantly behind competitors Blockbuster, Netflix and Redbox with no download, mobile, by-mail or kiosk operations in place.
Facing shutdowns of nearly half its stores after the bankruptcy filing, in addition to mountains of debt, Gallery had scant financial resources to transform itself in the rapidly changing home entertainment industry.
Gallery posted a combined operating loss of $7.9 million for the period from Feb. 3 through March 7, according to a filing with U.S. bankruptcy court in Richmond, Va.
Descent 2, Transylmania and if they get it by Friday, Sherlock Holmes.
other than that, pass, pass, pass…
Because of the deals with WB, Universal and Fox, we don’t have to wait until the weekend for a movie anymore, so you should see it on Tuesday
I saw Sherlock Holmes in theaters and it was pretty good. There’s nothing coming out this week that I want to rent. Transylmania just looks beyond terrible; it looks like it’s pretty much a straight to dvd movie but it somehow got released in theaters.
What about Its Complicated? On the kiosks it says available in April so obviously it would have to come out tomorrow or not in April.
Not sure what you mean Starman about not having to wait for Sherlock Holmes…it has been out for a month because of the deals.
Due to the recent studio deal, the movie Its Complicated will be another 28 day delay. This likely wasn’t anticipated by the signage on the machine. You can expect the title in May.
I meant that even though we had to wait 28 days for Sherlock Holmes, it was available this Tuesday. I was trying to point out that because of the 28 day delay, we will actually have a release date for movies from the big three (can we even refer to them as that anymore now that the deals have been signed?)
Sherlock Holmes was fantastic, and I would deem it a movie worth purchasing. That’s just my opinion.
I just rented It’s Complicated at my Redbox.
Sure you did.
I got it at safeway.(chicago)
whats your zip code and we will see my friend
60707
there are no safeway stores in your zip code area i see you have 50 redbox in your town near Elmwood Park but i see two blubox kiosk one in Darion and the other at Villa Park and they have the movie nice try
Safeway doesn’t host Redbox machines, so thats where you are wrong.
Transylmania is actually hilarious…

They have the dvd cover of Crazy heart now instead of the alternate one. That’s strange.
It’s probably because of the deal that was signed. I noticed that when Redbox signed the deal with Warner Bros. the cover arts in the Redboxes were changed to the reguler cover arts
