Following the announcement by the Prime Minister at 10PM on 16 March 2020, we will be temporarily closing our cinemas and suspending all screenings and events from 18-31 March 2020. This is in line with precautionary measures by the Malaysian government to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus and safeguard the health of our communities.

We regret any inconvenience caused by the closure of our cinemas. Customers who have tickets for screenings will be refunded for their purchases. Purchases made online will be automatically refunded within 14 working days, while movie-goers who have bought their tickets via the Box Office or e-Ticketing kiosks can hold on to their tickets for a refund after the end of the lockdown.

It’s unfortunate that GSCinemas would have to close, as anime fans would surely have been looking forward to the Digimon and My Hero Academia movies. Nevertheless, let’s stay put and hope for the situation to be resolved as smoothly as possible.
