More movie choices for Malacca cinema-goers

By Chin Vin Sen

27 Jun - After months of anticipation and anxious discussions on Cinema Online's forum, the much awaited new cineplex in Melaka Mall finally opens in time for possibly the biggest movie of the year.

Operated by MBO Cinemas, this 7-screen cineplex on the 2nd floor is located within a shopping complex previously called Kota Mas, across the road from Jusco along Lebuh Air Keroh. After extensive refurbishment and a new image, Melaka mall aims to target a more hip and fun crowd.

"People in Malacca are very much looking forward to having more cinema choices. We hope to further enhance the variety and choices available here" says Toh Kim Hock of MBO Cinemas. Visiting film distributor Anna Ng of Buena Vista Columbia Tristar compliments it as having a "very daring and adventurous feel."

Decorated in various colours and schemes, halls range from a minimum of 130 seats to the largest with 212 seats. Some halls also feature family seats at the back row.

MBO Melaka Mall opens with Transformers, Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, Die Hard 4.0, Surfs Up, Hooked On You, Ghost Tunnel and Hot Fuzz. It is also MBO's 4th location after their 7-screen MBO Kluang opened in February this year, 10-screen MBO Galaxy Ampang and 3-screen MBO Amcorp Mall.
