7 Sep – Two of MBO Cinemas locations are set to close their shutters for good after today, as it was revealed that 7 September 2017 will be the last day of operation for both. The cinemas in question are MBO Cinemas Batu Pahat Mall, located in Johor, and MBO Cinemas Alor Star Mall, located in Kedah. Cinemagoers can still catch movies at both cinemas today. The Batu Pahat Mall location will be closed down due to the mall management's differing plan for the occupied cinema area. However, Johorians living in the Batu Pahat area will still have another MBO cinema to cater to their movie-going needs, namely MBO Cinemas Square One.
