History

[edit]

Golden Screen was founded in 1987 under the name of Golden Communications Circuit, a joint venture between Hong Kong's Golden Harvest and the Malaysian conglomerate PPB Group, the latter of whom operated a small set of Malaysian cinemas leased from Shaw Brothers Studio.[1] After January 1988 merger between Golden Communications (GC) Circuit and the Malaysian branch of Cathay Organisation, the company was renamed Golden Screen Cinemas.[2]
