Many cinemas nowadays have the facilities to screen movies in 4D, 5D and some even 6D, but during a screening of the newly-released movie ‘Tenet’ in Singapore, the “effects” got all too real.
Two people were injured during the movie, after being hit by debris as a large section of a ventilation duct crashed through a suspended ceiling, and onto the cinema attendees at the Shaw Theatres NEX Mall.
“It hurt because a piece of the ceiling hit my head, and my heart was racing. It was really confusing because we thought the sounds from the crashing were from speakers behind us,” one cinema-goer, called Venkat, told local web publication Must Share News (MS News).
Authorities arrived at the scene about 20 minutes after the incident, with one of the injured taken away on a stretcher.
According to the cinema’s website, the multiplex is closed until further notice and there will be no movie sessions during this period.
“Our priority is to provide support to our injured patrons. We are also working with our landlord (Gold Ridge Pte Ltd) and the relevant authorities to investigate the circumstances thoroughly. The cinema will be closed until further notice," said Shaw.
“NEX is aware of the situation involving a ceiling collapse in one of the cinema hall at Shaw Theatres within the mall. The authorities have been notified and we are currently working closely with our tenant Shaw Theatres to support ongoing investigations as well as the parties involved," said NEX.
As of now, the condition of the two injured is still unknown.
