What movies you can watch when cinemas reopen on July 1

'Low Season' is a romantic comedy from Thailand.

With Christopher Nolan's Tenet and live-action flick Mulan now pushed to Aug 13 and Aug 20 respectively (from July 30 and July 23), it may seem like there isn't anything exciting to watch on the big screen when cinemas reopen on Wednesday (July 1).

Do not despair ... there are three Asian movies you can check out; movies that were originally scheduled to open during the movement control order (MCO) period. Also, re-runs of some of the popular titles that were shown in cinemas previously.

Come July 16, too, Train To Busan Presents Peninsula will get the ball rolling properly as the first new film to hit cinemas since the global pandemic struck.

While the ticket prices for the new films are at normal rate, tickets for the re-runs start from RM5 at Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC), TGV Cinemas (TGV) as well as mmCineplexes.

Both GSC and TGV start operation on July 1, whereas mmCineplexes opens its doors on July 3.
