List of cinemas in Malaysia

Malaysia has about 150[1] cinemas operating throughout the country. The only states without cinemas are Perlis and Kelantan. The largest cinema operator is Golden Screen Cinemas. There are other large operators such as TGV Cinemas, MBO Cinemas, Lotus Five Star, DADI Cinema and mmCineplexes. Other than these operators, some smaller operators do screening on a small scale such as 10star Cinemas which operates five cinemas in Sabah.[2]

History

[edit]

The first cinema in Malaysia was the Coliseum Theatre in Kuala Lumpur in 1928. However, it ceased operations in 2010 and was transformed into a cultural centre but was later reopened with two digital halls by Lotus Five Star in 2012. The first cinema with a computerised ticketing system in Malaysia was GSC in Cheras Leisure Mall. The first IMAX theatre in the country was the Digi Imax Theatre, located in Berjaya Times Square. It had one screen and had 555 seats. Operations were ceased in 2010, and GSC MAXX later occupied it until its closure. As of 2013, all screens were made digital regardless of the type of movies played.

The largest cinema in Malaysia is at Mid Valley Megamall. This outlet has 21 screens and 2763 seats. The cinema with the most number of seats is located in City Square, with 2776 seats.
