History

Golden Screen was founded in 1987 under the name of Golden Communications Circuit, a joint venture between Hong Kong's Golden Harvest and the Malaysian conglomerate PPB Group, the latter of whom operated a small set of Malaysian cinemas leased from Shaw Brothers Studio.{{cite news|url=https://variety.com/2017/film/spotlight/golden-village-celebrates-30-years-of-exhibition-innovation-1202450645/|title=Golden Village Celebrates 30 Years of Exhibition Innovation|date=2 June 2017|work=Variety|access-date=9 Dec 2018}} On 1997, the merger between Golden Communications (GC) Circuit and the Malaysian branch of Cathay Organisation, the company was renamed Golden Screen Cinemas.{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=QmcWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=-BQEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2956,6413444&dq=cinemas&hl=en|title=Cinema chains merge to create biggest entity |date=16 January 1998|work=New Straits Times|access-date=16 February 2010}} GSC opened the Asia' largest multiplex with 18 Screens - GSC Mid Valley at Mid Valley Megamall in 1999.
