I paid for 3 school kids to watch a recent cartoon at GV on a weekend.

Their tix + snacks cost $80!!

No wonder people prefer watch streamed movies.

If you are at a budget hotel with a girl, I doubt that you will be watching any movie. LOL!

Filmgarde Cineplexes shuts down last outlet at Kallang, exits industry​

 

[True Believer]

In this day and age, it appears that most forms of entertainment may be experienced at home in front of a laptop, iPad or TV. Is it any wonder why there are so many singles? No one goes to watch a movie, eat out or shop at malls any longer.

Only GLS continue to leech our resources & rest of Pte sector will die due to engineered inflation & heavy & selective intervention in the pte market.

Cathay cinema at Jem to close as landlord seeks $4.3 million in rental arrears​

 

[True Believer]

The significant increase in S'pore's cinema capacity was, in my view, unsustainable. Attendance figures, even pre-pandemic, demonstrated this, with weekday screenings experiencing extremely low occupancy and weekend screenings only reaching approximately 50% capacity.

Just talked to my friend who is working in the bank and he told me that Singapore will be the first country without mainstream cinema

All the banks in Singapore have issued red alert to stop giving loans or credit facilities to the cinema operators.

However minor cinemas in Little India will continue to survive because these cinemas are serving the needs of foreign hardcore labourers.

Seems my pal who is working in the bank told me the truth.

In future, sinkies must go to foreign countries to watch movies in the cinemas
