[SINGAPORE] The exit of indie player The Projector from Cineleisure, coming on top of Cathay Cineplexes’ recent rental woes, has heightened fears that the local cinema industry is at a crossroads.
Industry watchers say cinema players must up their game through an improved experience and partnerships; they should also look overseas for inspiration.
Last Friday (Aug 1), The Projector announced its departure from its Golden Village (GV) collaboration at Cineleisure, a larger venue than its original location in Golden Mile Tower, where it has now resumed screenings after a pause in May.
