Movie enthusiasts in the East have a reason to be excited as Golden Village officially opens its latest cinema at Downtown East. Taking over the former Cathay Cineplex space at E!Hub, Pasir Ris, GV Downtown East brings a fresh and modern cinematic experience for both casual moviegoers and dedicated film fans alike. With its launch, Golden Village continues to expand its presence across Singapore, marking their 17th outlet islandwide, and provides a new entertainment destination for families, friends, and corporate groups in one of the East’s liveliest leisure hubs.
A Cinematic Upgrade in the East
GV Downtown East is not just another cinema; it’s a revitalised space designed to make moviegoing a pleasure. Located on level 4 of E!Hub, the new cinema features six halls with a total seating capacity of 980. These halls are not only ideal for standard screenings but also offer flexible options for private events, corporate bookings, and fan engagement activities. Whether it’s a family outing, a friends’ movie night, or a corporate team-building event, GV Downtown East provides the perfect setting for an enjoyable and comfortable cinematic experience.
The location couldn’t be more convenient. Downtown East is already a popular destination for entertainment, home to Wild Wild Wet, D’Resort, D’Marquee, and a variety of dining options. With GV Downtown East now joining this vibrant mix, visitors can enjoy a full day of leisure – from waterpark fun to dining, shopping, and finally, a relaxing movie experience. This makes it an excellent spot for a complete weekend outing or an evening escape from the weekday hustle.
Celebrate the Launch with Free Movie Tickets
To celebrate the opening, Golden Village is giving movie lovers a special treat. From 27 November to 3 December 2025, GV Downtown East will be offering 100 free movie tickets daily. This is a great opportunity for those who have been eagerly waiting to experience the new cinema without any cost. There is a small requirement of a minimum $5 F&B purchase to redeem the complimentary ticket, and redemptions must be made at the cinema’s box office.
The free movie passes are valid at GV Downtown East until 28 February 2026, giving winners plenty of time to plan their visit. However, it’s important to note that these passes are not valid for certain special screenings, premium formats, or selected titles, including Disney’s highly anticipated Zootopia 2. Nevertheless, with a diverse range of films showing across six halls, there is more than enough variety to satisfy every moviegoer’s taste.
This free ticket promotion is not just a one-time giveaway – it’s an invitation to the public to experience the comfort, quality, and upgraded facilities of GV Downtown East. The cinema has invested in creating a welcoming environment, from plush seating to crisp sound systems and modern visual technology, ensuring every movie experience feels like a treat. For those who love the feeling of settling into a darkened theatre with the big screen in front of them, this opening week is the perfect time to indulge.
Weekday Specials for Students and Seniors
Golden Village has also rolled out weekday promotions for students and seniors, available until 30 January 2026. These discounts make moviegoing more affordable and encourage visits during weekdays, when theatres are less crowded.
-
Students: $7 per ticket
-
Seniors (60+): $5 per ticket
These rates are available from Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays and their eves. To enjoy these discounted tickets, students and seniors must present valid photo identification at the box office or at GV’s automated ticketing kiosks. Each ID entitles the holder to one discounted ticket, making this a great way for young people and older movie fans to catch up on the latest blockbusters without breaking the bank.
These promotions highlight GV’s commitment to making cinema accessible for all. Students juggling coursework and part-time jobs can enjoy a stress-free break with a film, while seniors can experience a little nostalgia or discover new favourites in a comfortable, updated environment.
A Tradition of Cinema Continues at Downtown East
For years, Downtown East has been synonymous with cinema entertainment, thanks to the former Cathay Cineplex. Moviegoers in the East have long enjoyed the convenience of having a theatre close to home, and Golden Village is now stepping in to continue this tradition, but with a modern twist. The new cinema offers upgraded seating, enhanced facilities, and a wide range of programming that caters to all tastes – from mainstream blockbusters to niche films for cinephiles.
Families visiting Downtown East for a day of leisure will now find it even easier to round off their outing with a film. After an afternoon at Wild Wild Wet or a meal at one of the many eateries in E!Hub, they can settle in for a movie, making for a seamless day of entertainment. GV Downtown East isn’t just a place to watch films; it’s part of a broader leisure experience that turns a simple outing into a memorable day.
The launch of GV Downtown East also signifies a renewed focus on providing diverse entertainment options for the community. Beyond standard screenings, the cinema offers private event spaces, corporate bookings, and fan-centric activities that appeal to a wide range of audiences. Whether it’s a birthday celebration, a movie-themed corporate event, or a fan screening, GV Downtown East has the versatility to host it, making it more than just a traditional cinema.
