Singapore’s cinema landscape is about to lose one of its longest-standing multiplexes. Golden Village cinema at Plaza Singapura will close on 16 August as the mall embarks on a major revamp. The cinema will wind down operations in phases. Six cinema halls will screen their final movies on 2 August 2026, while the remaining halls will continue operating until the final day on 16 August 2026.
Golden Village Plaza Singapura opened in 1998. Over the years, the cinema has been patronised by movie goers. Numerous anime film screenings and community events were also held here.

GV Plaza Singapura opened during a period when multiplex cinemas were rapidly expanding across Singapore. Over nearly three decades, it became one of Orchard Road’s most recognisable cinemas and a favourite destination for students, families, office workers and anime fans.
For many Singaporeans, it was where they watched their first blockbuster, queued overnight for movie premieres or attended special fan screenings. Its closure marks the end of another chapter in Singapore’s cinema history.
