CineArt Cinema will open a new branch in Ma On Shan, Hong Kong, at the MOSTown shopping center, replacing the recently closed Emperor Cinemas location. The new cinema, CineArt's fifth in Hong Kong, will feature up to four screens and seat 435 people. The opening is planned before Lunar New Year, which begins on February 17th. This development contrasts with the trend of cinema closures in Hong Kong, providing Ma On Shan residents with a new movie-going option after the sudden shutdown of their only existing theatre. The new location will feature CineArt's signature mint-green design.
