Planning to go The Cathay for a sneal preview this evening..

[Helix]

The shows at 2330h at the Cathay (not cineleisure). How's the jam like over the last night?

 

I'm planning to skip the main stretch of Orchard Road by using Clemenceau Avenue and then turn towards Plaza Singapura. Are there any alternative routes?

[Mysteria]

no jam last night 12am.. as in cathay... usually jam will be at paragon stretch.. but dun worry.. on xmas eve or day.. i think it'll be close..

 

if coming using CTE then exit orchard rd lor.. 1 left turn u'll reach istana liao..

[Helix]

Thanks mate. Will be coming from Holland Road and will be making a detour via Mohammed Sultan Road to skip the jam-packed Orchard Road stretch.

 

 

Oh yah since you mentioned there will be road closure on some stretch of Orchard Road. Just need to it's not today right?

Yah man...Death Note 2. Think the Cathay ba...it will be more convenient in my opinion.

[Guyver]

The parking there is NOT per entry .... I think ....

[Helix]

yo, its per entry. $1.05 only. Avoided the main stretch of Orchard road was a good choice.

Cathay sells cinema chain for $230m

 

 

 

The founding family that has run the historic home-grown Cathay movie theatre chain for more than 80 years is selling its local cinema operations for $230 million.

 

Cathay Organisation's Cathay Cineplexes unit will become part of the expanding operations of entertainment company mm2 Asia, the backer of local films such as director Jack Neo's Ah Boys To Men.

Under the terms of the deal announced yesterday, Cathay cineplex staff will stay on after the sale, which is expected to close by Nov 24.

Until the new owner decides how to re-position and re-launch I suppose.

 

Cathay name will remain I suppose.

MM2 bought half of the GV shares and now Cathay, i believe they will keep the names for branding purpose.

Easier to live off a family fortune than to sustain it?

Maybe movie tickets price will go up.

Be interesting to see what this new operator does.

 

Years back when The Cathay re-opened it was suppose to be the place for movie buffs, Picturehouse, shops selling movie posters and DVDs etc.

 

Today The Cathay inside very quiet, and I guess if not for SOTA the place will be ghost town.

i dun really like Picture house and Cineleisure but prefer Cathay at JEM, their theatre is much better than Shaw.

[Lala81]

no longer will have the cathay logo spinning around like blades of a fan intro?
