MBO Cinemas ends operations after brief return to industry
PETALING JAYA: Cinema chain operator MBO Cinemas Sdn Bhd has announced a permanent end to its operations, nearly five years after a comeback in the industry.

In a statement, MBO Cinemas said it had been a privilege to serve its customers and be part of their cinematic experience. “All the cheers and laughter in packed halls to the quiet moments during heartfelt scenes meant the world to us.

“From all of us at MBO Cinemas, thank you for filling our seats and our hearts,” the company said.

The cinema chain shut its branches in Malaysia in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It made a comeback the following year under a new management after Golden Screen Cinemas acquired its assets.
