Herald Enterprises was the direct manager of the Kyoto Asahi Cinema, who also operated two theaters in Tokyo and two others in Osaka. Around 50 films are screened each year, with annual attendance consistently exceeding 100,000, and membership numbers have remained stable at around 3,000.
The Asahi’s run of the 2001 French film “Amelie” set a record for attendance at the theater which surpassed an older 1999 record for its run of the 1997 Italian film “Life Is Beautiful”.
On December 4, 2004, just about two years after the closure of Kyoto Asahi Cinema, a newer theater named the Kyoto Cinema opened in the COCON KARASUMA commercial complex in Shijo Karasuma.
