Golden Village, a cinema operator in Singapore, is fully owned by Orange Sky Golden Harvest, a company based in Hong Kong. Initially established in 1992 as a joint venture between Golden Harvest and Australia's Village Roadshow, the company has since grown into Singapore's largest cinema chain. Golden Village operates 12 multiplexes and cineplexes across the country and is notable for introducing Asia's first multiplex, Yishun 10, in the year it was founded. Golden Village Pictures is the film distribution arm of Golden Village. The company distributes Village Roadshow Pictures titles such as the Matrix Trilogy, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Happy Feet, Ah Boys to Men, That Girl in Pinafore, Annie and The Lego Movie in Singapore, as well as other acquired titles regionally and worldwide.

History

The cinema's first operation in the country was on 28 May 1992, with the successful opening of the Yishun 10 complex. Subsequently, it opened more cinemas in Bishan, Tiong Bahru, Boon Lay, Tampines, Marina Square, and Plaza Singapura. In 1998, it joined hands to open a cinema at Great World City, GV Grand, with six screens, including a Gold Class hall. During the early 2000s, one of the halls was converted into an IMAX theatre, but it closed down in 2004 due to low patronage. It also used to operate at Eastpoint Mall during the early 2000s, but was also closed due to low patronage. In October 2006, Golden Village opened a multiplex in VivoCity, the largest multiplex in Singapore, with 15 screens, including 3 Gold Class screens and GV Max, one of the largest cinema auditoriums. Its current flagship cineplex is located at Suntec City with 11 screens, including 3 Gold Class screens, taking over the space previously occupied by WE Cinemas and The Rock Auditorium. In June 2017, Village Roadshow's 50% stake in Golden Village was set to be acquired by Singapore-based media company mm2 Entertainment. However, the bid fell through, as Village Roadshow failed to secure the approval of Orange Sky. Instead, in October 2017, Orange Sky Golden Harvest purchased the Village Roadshow's 50% stake, therefore having full ownership of Golden Village.

Cineplexes and multiplexes

As of 2023, Golden Village has 15 cinemas with 119 screens operating in the country. All cinemas that opened before 2000 have been refurbished. GV@Capitol only screens movies from December to March every year but does not belong to GV.
