A New Cinema Opens At JB’s R&F Mall With Couple Seats, Late-Night Movies Now Possible Again

New cinema at R&F Mall in JB


It’s hard to turn down an invitation to a movie night. The combination of the big screen, surround sound, plush seats, and popcorn buckets just spells out fun.

For those who frequent Johor Bahru’s R&F Mall for its convenient location just across the Causeway, there’s a new spot to catch the latest flicks in a cinema hall there again – WOMEI Cineplex, which opened its doors on 13th March 2025.


Eight movie halls & couple seats


Hong Kong’s Emperor Cinemas operated at R&F Mall for 4 years until July 2023, when it ceased operations. It was popular for being the overseas cinema chain’s first Southeast Asian branch and boasting plush movie halls.

Two years later, WOMEI Cineplex now occupies the former cinema’s space on the 2nd floor at the mall. It boasts the same 8 movie halls with huge ultra-HD screens and surround sound, but with upgrades like couple seats so you and bae can cuddle on movie nights.

The cinema is currently on trial operation, but you can catch the Chinese box office champ, Ne Zha 2, on the big screen there. Tickets are priced RM19 per pax, and available for purchase in-person at the cinema’s ticketing stand.

To celebrate WOMEI Cineplex’s opening, the mall is offering movie-goers 3 hours of free parking. To redeem this deal, simply bring your cinema ticket and TNG card used to enter the parking lot to the mall’s Customer Service Center. This is located on the 1st floor, next to the OC Sports store.


More movie nights at R&F Mall


The next time you’re at R&F Mall, you can pencil in a trip to the cinema to watch a film there again. While just one movie title is screening to mark the opening of WOMEI Cineplex, we can look forward to more movie nights and titles screened there soon.
