Golden Harvest MegaBox announces closure – Hong Kong's sixth cinema shutdown this year
Golden Harvest Cinemas has announced on Thursday, June 5, that its MegaBox location will be shutting down early next week. From Monday, June 9, cinema-goers will no longer be able to enjoy movies within this seven-house theatre with over 800 seats. In their social media posts, Golden Harvest thanked their audiences over the years by offering special promotions. GH MegaBox's final screening on the night of June 8 will be a mystery screening of a classic movie, priced at only $40. Three different night time slots – at 9.25pm, 9.35pm, and 9.45pm – will all be screening different classics. IMAX tickets will also cost just $40 for a screening of How to Train Your Dragon. Cinema-goers who watch any of these final screenings will be able to redeem a GH MegaBox commemorative card on their way out. There will also be discounts at the concession stand, with certain combos and merchandise priced at $40. Additionally, customers can present their GH MegaBox movie ticket at any other Golden Harvest cinema from June 9 to 30 to enjoy $10 off food and drink. Golden Harvest cited the end of their tenancy as the reason for closure, but the fact remains that this will be the third Golden Harvest cinema to close this year. This news comes hot on the heels of the shuttering of Golden Harvest's Grand Ocean Cinema, which had been operating in Tsim Sha Tsui for more than 50 years. Earlier this year in April, GH Whampoa also closed down. GH MegaBox also marks the sixth cinema closure across Hong Kong just within this year, with the curtains drawing for good on MCL's Grand Kornhill Cinema and the Newport Theatre in May and April, respectively. According to Hong Kong Box Office Limited, overall box office revenue in 2024 showed Hong Kong's weakest cinema turnout since 2011. A total of nine cinemas have already shut down last year, which brings the total number of public cinemas across Hong Kong down to a mere 51. Luckily, there's a silver lining, as CineArt House has just announced that they will be taking over the GH MegaBox space. They currently operate two cinemas in Causeway Bay and Tsing Yi, and are in the midst of opening another branch at Plaza Hollywood in Diamond Hill. On social media, CineArt teased that they will upgrade GH MegaBox's IMAX theatre into an IMAX with Laser space, and also improve the screen and sound systems.
