Cathay Cineplexes Sdn Bhd is a subsidiary of Cathay Organisation Holdings (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, a 100% subsidiary of Cathay Organisation Private Limited (Singapore).
1936 marked the launch of Cathay’s first cinema, The Pavilion, in Kuala Lumpur. Three years later, in 1939, Cathay Organisation Holdings opened with a big bang in Singapore, sweeping audiences off their feet with its revolutionary air-conditioned 1,300-seater Cathay Cinema at the Cathay Building with seats as comfy as armchairs. From the 1960s to the 1970s, Cathay blazed a brilliant trail with over 70 cinemas in Malaysia and Singapore. Today, Cathay continues to be one of the key players in entertainment, leisure and lifestyle.
Cathay Cineplexes owns 31 screens in Malaysia and 35 screens in Singapore, garnering numerous accolades and awards from the public and the media.
Formerly known as Mega Pavilion Cinemas, Cathay Cineplexes was first established in Penang at Kompleks Bukit Jambul in 1997. Standing proud with a 24,000 sq ft 6-screen premise, we were the first cineplex to offer ergonomically designed seats with
the widest legroom in the industry.
We are proud to have spread our wings with four more cineplexes, namely Johor Bahru City Square, Prangin Mall Penang, Kota Kinabalu Cathay Cineplex and the newest addition, Cathay Cineplex Damansara.
The change in name from Mega Pavilion Cinemas to Cathay Cineplexes is aimed at enhancing and strengthening the Cathay brand in Malaysia and is a reminder of its association to Cathay in Singapore.
With current development of our new flagship multiplex at the Cineleisure Damansara, Cathay Cineplex Damansara looks forward in changing the movie-going experience.
Our mission is to provide quality and wholesome family entertainment to our valued customers. With the sophisticated moviegoers in mind, we are dedicated to your satisfaction by constantly leading the way in providing superior cinematic experience with top class service.
