SINGAPORE – The Golden Village cinema in Tiong Bahru Plaza is set to shutter when its current lease ends, with its last day of operations on March 29.
With a total of five screens and 789 seats, GV Tiong Bahru has been in operation since 1994, making it the third cinema opened by GV in Singapore, after those in Yishun and Bishan.
“The company extends its heartfelt appreciation to patrons, partners and the Tiong Bahru community for their continued support throughout the last 32 years,” the cinema operator said in a statement on March 25.
There will be 17 GV cinemas left in Singapore after the closure of its Tiong Bahru outlet, Golden Village said, advising filmgoers to go to its other cinemas nearby, such as in Funan, Cineleisure in Orchard and Great World.
GV decided not to renew its lease at Tiong Bahru Plaza, the cinema operator said, in response to The Straits Times’ query.
GV also told ST it has no plans to launch new cinemas at the moment. It opened its Downtown East and Century Square outlets in November 2025 and February 2026 respectively.
When asked if the mall has found another operator for the cinema, or will be repurposing the space, a Tiong Bahru Plaza spokesperson said it is “exploring options that will complement the retail and recreational offerings” there.
The spokesperson added that the mall is committed to making sure its spaces and offerings meet “the evolving demographics and needs of the local community”.
