Operating from 2007 to 2019[1] with 12 screens and 1,600 seats, it was Hong Kong's largest multiplex cinema in its time.[2][3] It had a sound system designed by American sound designer Tom Hidley[3] and screened independent films.[4] It also was the site of many film festivals, including the Hong Kong Asian Independent Film Festival.[5] The cinema was operated by Shaw Group and Multiplex Cinema Ltd.
The former site of The Grand Cinema was acquired by Broadway Circuit and rebranded as the Premiere Cinema.[6]
