Old Cinema New Life

Rex Cinema… I still remember the 3 hours queue for Jurassic Park tickets in 1993. I’m glad that this place is being repurposed. Loved the place and the bookstore (covering in another post).

many cinemas were affected by the home video and online viewing, Rex Cinema at Petaling Street is one of the locations under Shaw Brothers that did not survive the cinema downturn.

It was repurposed into a hostel before destroyed in a fire in 2007. Finally, some great minds revived this place into a hip joint with little shops, hip coffee joints and a beautiful bookstore at the top floor.

Have a look at the photos for a peek of a new life of an old cinema.
