The announcement that cinemas in Malaysia are allowed to operate again is welcomed news to movie fans who have been denied the pleasure of catching Hollywood blockbusters on the big screen for much of this year
On September 7, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that cinemas can open its doors once again to Malaysian moviegoers who are fully vaccinated starting from September 9. The hall capacity, however, is capped at 50 per cent. Nevertheless, Malaysians welcomed the news with glee, having already missed out on catching some major Hollywood blockbusters like Black Widow and The Suicide Squad, which are best enjoyed on the big screen.

Major cinema operators Golden Screen Cinemas and TGV, however, won't be opening their doors yet as they await for clearer SOP guidelines from the government and movie approval from censors.
But what's a few more days when we have already endured months. Here's our wish list of movies that already had their international releases this year that we hope to be able to see on the big screen. There is also a list of coming attractions that makes us really glad that we can retreat into the cool darkness of a cinema hall and escape into a make-believe world for a couple of hours once again.
