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.[2] Later in 2021, Golden Screen Cinemas acquired MBO Cinemas' majority assets.[3] But on 19 December 2021, it was relaunched with new investors and under a brand new management.[4]

As of today, 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.[5][6]
