MBO Cinema Sdn. Bhd. (trading as MBO Cinemas), also known as MBO for short, is a chain of cinemas in Malaysia. It is the third largest cinema chain in the country after Golden Screen Cinemas and TGV Cinemas. MBO Cinemas went into liquidation in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Later in 2021, Golden Screen Cinemas acquired the majority assets of MBO Cinemas. On 19 December 2021, it was relaunched with new investors under a different management.

MBO Cinemas currently operates 9 outlets in Peninsular Malaysia located at Atria Shopping Gallery, Space U8, Taiping Sentral Mall, Teluk Intan, Elements Mall Melaka, Melaka Mall, Brem Mall, U-Mall Skudai and Quayside Mall.

Overview

Originally, there were 26 MBO Cinemas branches in Malaysia prior to the revival, with the last branch being the original MBO Cinemas which opened in AEON Mall Bandar Dato' Onn, Johor Bahru.

MBO features special halls, such as BIG SCREEN, MX4D and kid-oriented KECIL. Some of the locations later offered Samsung's Onyx technology display halls. KECIL was the first children-oriented movie hall feature in Malaysia, offering beanie seats, an in-hall playground and is available at 7 MBO Cinemas locations in Malaysia.
