Cineworld to shut down UK screens after Bond film delay

posted in: All News, UK | 0

Cineworld is set to temporarily close its UK cinemas in the coming weeks.

As first reported in the Sunday Times, the firm is writing to Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden to say the industry is now “unviable”.

The firm says it has been hit by delays in the release of big-budget films, putting 5,500 jobs at risk.

The premiere of James Bond film No Time To Die has been postponed twice and is now due for release in April 2021.
