Using Instagram, GSC announced today that 17 theatres and Aurum Cinemas in the Klang Valley, Northern and Southern regions will reopen on Sept 16, which is Malaysia Day.
It added that more will reopen on Sept 23.
In a statement today, TGV Cinemas sales and marketing general manager, Mohit Bhargava, announced that its theatres will start reopening on Sept 23.
