Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) has launched its newest cinema at GSC KL East Mall which is strategically located in the north of Kuala Lumpur. The launch of the cinema marks GSC's 53rd cinema location overall and is part of the organisation's strategic blueprint. So, what should you know about it?

Movie lovers in Malaysia are in for a treat. The latest Malaysian film, MALBATT Misi Bakara will hit the cinemas soon. Thanks to GSC, this movie will also be the first-ever Malaysian film to screen on IMAX.

If you visit GSC often, chances are you have already heard of IMAX with laser technology. Now made available for the public, Malaysians and movie lovers will get to experience their very first IMAX with Laser Hall at GSC IOI City Mall 2 (East).

Just a few hours ago, GSC announced that its theatre halls would have their own IMAX technology. Not only that but the IMAX will have laser technology which is a first in Malaysia.

It looks like GSC will be entering the video streaming industry with this new partnership. The company has recently worked with GetPlay to allow users directly stream content on mobile devices through the GSC and GetPlay apps.

Last year, MBO had announced the closure of all cinemas due to a declining financial state amid the pandemic. Now, GSC is also closing down cinemas but it's less serious. Instead of closing down all the cinemas, the company will cease operations of only the ones located at Cheras Leisure Mall and Berjaya Times Square.

One of the things we could no longer do because of the CMCO was going to the cinemas. But the Malaysian government is ready to lift certain restrictions and cinemas are included. Local cinemas are quick to respond, with Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) set to reopen.

As we continue our journey in this CMCO, both GSC and TGV have announced that starting from 2 November 2020 onwards, all their cinema in Malaysia will be temporarily closed until the end of November. This is due to the new announcement made by the Malaysia Association of Film Exhibitors (MAFE) today.

After GSC announced that they will allow customers to play console games at the cinemas, TGV also followed in their footsteps by allowing us to do the same. TGV made the announcement on their Facebook page and revealed a few packages that the customers can purchase for a big-screen gaming experience.

Today is the first day of July and our local cinemas have reopened to the public but with some SOPs to follow. Apart from GSC throwing a free movie screening of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, they also announced on their Facebook page that they are giving away a new Samsung Galaxy S20+.
