GV Yishun, Multiplex cinema in Yishun, Singapore.
GV Yishun is a multiplex movie theater inside the Northpoint City shopping center in the northern part of Singapore, with ten screening halls and digital 2D and 3D formats. The halls vary in size, allowing several films to run at the same time throughout the day.
The cinema opened in 1992 and is considered the first multiplex in Asia, marking a turning point in how films were shown across the region. Over the years it has been renovated to keep up with changes in the entertainment industry.
The cinema serves as a gathering place for Yishun residents, showing a mix of international releases and locally made films that appeal to different age groups. You will find families, teenagers, and couples using the space not only for watching movies but also as a social hub before and after screenings.
The theater connects directly to Yishun MRT station through an underground walkway, making it easy to reach in any weather. Visitors arriving by car will find parking available within the shopping center.
As the first multiplex in Asia, this theater shaped the model for how cinema experiences were built across the region long before the format became common elsewhere. Its location in a residential area like Yishun, far from the city center, was a deliberate choice to bring entertainment closer to local communities.
