雖然不少位於市區的戲院因租金問題而結業,不過並不代表香港經營戲院沒有市場,洲立旗下的MCL院線在將軍澳的第二家戲院STAR Cinema將於本月月底開畫。
STAR Cinema是將軍澳地區的第二家戲院,位於港鐵將軍澳站上蓋「PopCorn」商場一樓,將設有六個影廳,合共提供座位624座,總面積為20,570平方呎。而戲院設計則來自曾設計MCL德福的AGC設計公司的手筆,從官方的發稿相可看見,戲院的主要色調以紅和綠兩色為主,而其座椅看起來又有點像MCL德福的款式。
六個影廳當中,其中四個設有放映3D電影的設備,而部分影廳也引入了超低音頻震動座椅。
從新聞稿所見的另一特色,就是採用了如韓國戲院常見的先取號碼牌等候到票房櫃檯購票,而不用排著長長的人龍。有關的方案,也許令購票的過程相對之下較為舒適。至於QR Code存取戲票的服務,其實未結業前的UA時代廣場也曾引入,不過當時即使擁有QR Code仍需列印戲票進場,而STAR Cinema看來不用有關步驟。
STAR Cinema將於三月三十一日開幕,也許各位將軍澳以至東九龍的觀眾可以留意好了。

MCL is dominating too many of movie screens in Kowloon/N.T. East. I don’t understand why didn’t UA try to capture this site?

UA九龍東有該區最多院的Megabox,安樂有apm嘉禾缺席.
UA旗下戲院在全港各區的分佈其實相當平均,港島東西,九龍東西南,新界東西及離島皆各有一院.

Thanks for reminding me about UA Megabox. However, among all Eastern Kowloon/ NT. East theatre locations, UA Megabox has the worse transportation connections. MCL has Telford Gardens, and two TKO locations, all within easy MTR access. Edko has Palace APM (the best location of all), and if you count Plaza Hollywood (formerly Golden Harvest), Edko has two locations. Yes, UA does have representation in the East, but to me it barely worth mentioning due to extremely poor transport access. Maybe someone can show me the 2011’s buiness figures for UA Megabox compare to other theatres in the region. I like to be enlightened.

你似乎認為近港鐵站才箅交通方便才會生意旺埸,megabox根本不乏人流穿梭巴士常常坐滿排隊幾絛人龍.UA megabox Imax 夜埸也常常滿座,相信你甚少光顧吧!
香港最高收入的戲院之一是THE GRAND,在很多足不出戶的人眼中也是相當偏僻.
