Tim Richards, chief executive of the cinema chain, said he also believes sales could return to pre-Covid levels in six months.
Glitzy film premieres could return to Leicester Square by next year and cinema-goers will return to socially-distanced screenings at pre-Covid levels in six months, according to the boss of the Vue cinema chain.
Chief executive Tim Richards, who also sits on the board of the British Film Institute (BFI), added he expects customers will spread out their trips through the day, rather than at the traditional evening pinch points.
He said: “We believe we are going to be doing pre-Covid-level box office, but we’re going to be doing it in a different way.
