Saudi Arabia unveils first new cinema with ‘Black Panther’ screening

Blockbuster action flick “Black Panther” play at a cinema test screening in Saudi Arabia on April 18, the first in a series of trial runs before movie theatres open to the wider public next month. The conservative kingdom lifted a 35-year ban on cinemas last year as part of a far-reaching liberalisation drive, with US giant AMC. Photo: AFP
