History
Golden Village was established to develop and operate modern, multiplex cinemas. The cinema's first operation in the country was on 28 May 1992, with the successful opening of the Yishun 10 complex. In 1997, it opened a cinema at Great World City, GV Grand, with a Gold Class theatre and six screens. In the early 2000s, one of the halls was converted into an IMAX theatre, but it closed down eventually in 2004.
The chain offers a wide variety of movies at convenient screening times throughout the day. Supported by a central computerised system, GV tickets can be bought via telephone, internet and all AXS stations located throughout the island of Singapore. The system selects the best seats available at any time, but patrons may choose their seats if booking via the Internet.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“If usually the “present age” is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
