Gulf Cinema complex to reopen in weeks

DOHA:  The Gulf Cinema complex in Najma that boasts twin theatres and is closed for maintenance currently, will be reopening in a few weeks, an official said yesterday.

The cinema complex popular with limited-income expatriates mainly from South Asia was closed last Thursday without any prior notice and a specific date for re-opening has not been announced. 

Moshen El Mokadem, General Manager of Qatar Cinema and Film Distribution Company that owns the complex yesterday said the facility will reopen soon, refusing to specify a time frame.

Gulf Cinema and Doha Cinema at Gulf Cinema complex mostly screen Indian films. And as an alternative arrangement the films which were scheduled to be shown at the Gulf Cinema complex are being screened at cinemas at The Mall and Landmark, which are also managed by the Qatar Cinema and Film Distribution Company. 

However, people in those posh theatres will have to pay more to watch the films. Tickets at the Gulf Cinema were priced at between QR 15 and QR 25.
