History

Golden Village was established to develop and operate modern, multiplex cinemas. The cinema's first operation in the country was on 28 May, 1992,, with the successful opening of the Yishun 10 complex. In 1997, it opened a cinema at Great World City, GV Grand, with a gold-class theatre and six screens. In the early 2000s, one of the halls was converted into an IMAX theatre, but it closed down eventually in 2004

The chain offers a wide variety of movies at convenient screening times throughout the day. Supported by a central computerised system, GV tickets can be bought via telephone, internet and all AXS stations located throughout the island of Singapore. The system selects the best seats available at any time, but patrons may choose their seats if booking via the Internet.
