Film Exhibition

In Malaysia, GSC has 534 screens across 55 locations in Malaysia and over 108 screens in 18 locations in Vietnam through a partnership with Galaxy Studio, which combined brings its footprint to a total of 642 screens in 73 locations across both countries.

An enriching world of cinema experiences

A trailblazer in the cinema industry, GSC prides itself on innovating and delivering new and enriching cinema experiences to audiences in Malaysia. GSC has launched the biggest cinema in Malaysia at GSC IOI City Mall, with the completion of GSC IOI City Mall 2 (East). Spanning a combined total of 26 screens under one roof, GSC IOI City Mall (East) is complete with end-to-end lifestyle offerings to enhance Malaysians’ cinematic experiences.

As a full-fledged 360 entertainment hub, GSC IOI City Mall 2 (East) is every movie goers’ dream. Equipped with the latest on-screen technologies offering all movie formats, movie-enthusiasts are spoiled for choice with Malaysia’s first IMAX with Laser Hall, 4DX, D-BOX, Screen X, BIG and Dolby Atmos, making it a complete experience where movie-goers are able to purchase their favourite movie memorabilia at Keepsake. GSC IOI City Mall 2 is also home to the largest PlayPark, a family-friendly cinema hall where little ones can run, play and jump without distractions and an adjoining play area for kids to have fun. Serving up addictive milkshakes and scrumptious bites, GSC’s own café, Happy Food Co. located at GSC IOI City Mall 2 marks its first foray in Klang Valley. 

It was the first cinema operator to launch Dolby Atmos in 2013, which is now available in more than 30 GSC locations. GSC then launched the nation’s first D-BOX motion seats, which offers perfectly synchronized motions with movie scenes, at GSC 1 Utama in 2014.

Expanding on immersive cinematic experiences, GSC later launched the world’s leading 4D cinematic technology, 4DX in 2017. Developed by South Korea’s CJ 4DPLEX, 4DX brings the movies to life with over 20 signature effects delivered through vibration and motion-activated seats, as well as environmental effects like wind, fog, rain, lightning, and scents. 4D movie-going was later extended to more audiences in 2021 with the acquisition of MX4D, which delivers equally immersive cinematic experiences.

The partnership with CJ 4DPLEX also led GSC to introduce the country’s first ScreenX theatre – a multi-projection theatre that allows a 270-degree panoramic movie experience, which expands the screen to the side walls to give a sense of being inside the movie. ScreenX is now available at GSC 1 Utama and will be rolled out in stages to other cinemas around the country.

When it comes to halls and screens, GSC owns some of the largest cinema screens in the country with GSC BIG, its proprietary premium large format screen, which delivers big sound, big screens, and big experiences. Besides GSC BIG, GSC also has an IMAX hall, which is currently available at The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey, Johor Bahru with more locations to come in the next few years.

For families looking to spend quality time together, GSC Play halls offer a family-friendly space crafted to meet the needs of children and the young at heart, giving them a safe place to watch their favourite movies, as well as play and learn.
