Mexican movie chain Cinépolis has revealed plans to expand across the GCC this year, with new cinemas set to open in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman. In an exclusive interview with TradeArabia, Ashish Shukla, CEO for Cinépolis Gulf, revealed that it is currently fitting out its first cinema in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. No opening dates were announced.
The expansion plans come hot on the heels of the opening of the GCC’s first Cinépolis in Bahrain at the end of January. Located at Atrium Mall, Saar, on the left of the King Fahd Causeway when entering into the country from the Saudi Arabian city of Al Khobar, the Cinépolis cinema is ideally placed for Saudi visitors as well.
