Malaysia has 169 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 and mmCineplexes. Other than these operators, there are smaller operators who do screening on a small scale.

History

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. In 2012, Lotus Five Star reopened the cinema with two digital halls. The first multiplex with a computerised ticketing system in Malaysia is Golden Screen Cinemas in Leisure Mall in Cheras. It has four screens and 1356 seats. The first IMAX theatre in the country was located in Berjaya Times Square which hosts one screen and has 555 seats. Operations were ceased in 2010 and it is now occupied by GSC MAXX. 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, whereas the cinema with the most digital halls is in Era Square Mall, Seremban and GSC CityONE Megamall, Kuching with all ten screens being digital.
