  Dun know how much is their earnings last year? I think quite a lot so they can't justified why they can't show new movies.

  It wont be screening new movies for a long long time.. at least 5 yrs before it will show a new movie afer the cinemas had shown it.
  
  If always show new shows within months, like this who will go cinema right.. Then cinemas will extinct liao..
  
  Even SCV show new movies also about a year later after cinemas had shown..
