The Malaysian Association of Film Exhibitors (MAFE) announced today, 14 December, that cinemas will resume operations at selected locations from 16 December onwards
Malaysian cinemas took a hit with a lack of movie releases this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In October, MAFE decided to temporarily suspend operations at all cinemas across Malaysia.
The decision to reopen is in time with the release of the much-awaited 2020 blockbuster,
Wonder Woman 1984
MAFE said in a statement, Cinemas are a key social, communal, and cultural epicentre of Malaysian lifestyle. They play an important role in offering entertainment and escapism to millions of Malaysians.
They also added that It is the collective responsibility of everybody to follow the necessary standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safety measures to ensure they remain a safe destination for everyone.
