Premiere / Director's Club in Singapore

What is Premiere / Director's Club, and is it worth it?

VIP and premium houses sell comfort rather than picture quality: reclining seats, more legroom, assigned service and often food and drink at the seat. The projection and sound are usually the cinema's standard.

Worth it if you value the room over the image — and worth knowing that it is not a picture-quality upgrade.

3 cinemas in Singapore currently run Premiere / Director's Club, with 120 screenings of 4 movies over the next week.

Cinemas with Premiere / Director's Club: Shaw Theatres Jem, Shaw Theatres Lido, Shaw Theatres nex.
