Shaw Theatres Lido will reopen on 6 Oct 2025 after major renovations, giving away 200 pairs of free movie tickets daily from 6 to 8 Oct 2025.
The iconic Orchard Road cinema closed in September 2025 for upgrades and returns with enhanced projection systems and new screens.
Free Ticket Distribution Details
The first 200 pairs of complimentary tickets will be distributed each day at the Shaw Theatres Lido box office on Level 5 of Shaw House.
Queues begin at 9:30am daily, with tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Each customer can claim one pair of free tickets per day, valid for same-day screenings of regular 2D movies. The promotion runs on Monday (6 Oct), Tuesday (7 Oct), and Wednesday (8 Oct).
Phase 1 Renovations Complete
The reopening marks Phase 1 of Shaw Lido’s largest overhaul since its 2011 upgrade. The renovations include new screens for all halls, an upgrade from Xenon projection to laser technology, and a redesigned lobby.
Historic Cinema Returns
Located at 350 Orchard Road, Shaw Lido operates 11 cinema halls with a total seating capacity of 1,960.
Shaw Organisation spent S$20 million on renovations completed in 2011, transforming the cinema into an 11-screen multiplex. The 2025 upgrades modernise the facility with new laser projection technology across all regular halls and a replacement IMAX screen.
Phase 2 Coming
Phase 2 renovations for the remaining halls are scheduled to follow the initial reopening, with full completion expected closer to the end of 2025.
