ENTERTAINMENT company mm2 Asia is set to take over all of Cathay Organisation's cinema operations here - including the historic operator's brand name - as it presses on with its expansion into the movie theatre business after a failed bid to acquire another cinema chain in Singapore.
mm2 Asia yesterday announced a deal to buy all of the shares in the group's Cathay Cineplexes subsidiary, which runs eight cinemas in Singapore, for S$230 million.
