Riyadh: The General Authority for Audiovisual Media has launched the official twitter account of the Saudi Cinema.
The number of followers exceeded 39,000 users, barely two hours after the launch of the twitter account according to Almarsad.
“We’re back” was the first tweet posted on the account and celebrated the official return of cinema to Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi Authorities announced earlier this month their decision to lift a three-decade old ban on commercial cinemas, allowing movie theatres to stage their comeback for the first time since the 1970s.
