28 Jan – TGV 1 Utama will cease operations indefinitely from 1 February 2011 onwards, according to TGV Cinemas.
The one-time prime location, iconic for being the first multiplex in Malaysia that rendered obsolete the standalone cinemas, first opened its doors to Malaysians in 1995. It has since been renovated at least once but suffered from flagging fortunes in recent years, especially with opening of GSC 1 Utama within walking distance in 2005. TGV Cinemas' statement on their social media is that it will "undergo the 'Revamped, Renewed, Resized operation" to follow the recent revitalisation of its outlets and its general brand. It is reliably learned that the new TGV will not be exactly where it is currently – but somewhere within the vicinity of the mall.
