Cineworld Shuts UK and Ireland Cinemas from Friday! All Cineworld cinemas across the UK and Ireland are closing their doors from Friday, October 9, until further notice.
Not a Decision Taken Lightly
A company spokesman stressed the move wasn’t made lightly. Cineworld fought hard to keep its cinemas safe and open, rolling out stringent health protocols that won rave reviews from customers. “For two months, our cinemas operated without a single COVID case linked to visits,” they said proudly.
Fighting to Protect Jobs and Culture
The chain is working closely with the Cinema Association to lobby the government for support. “We’re balancing saving livelihoods and keeping the company afloat in an extremely delicate situation,” the spokesman added. They highlighted the cinema industry’s vital cultural role and their commitment to safeguarding employees.
Reopening Hinges on Movie Releases
Cineworld will monitor the pandemic and film industry closely. They vow to reopen as soon as major studios resume releasing new films. “Once we have a confirmed line-up of movies, we’ll be ready to welcome you back,” said the spokesman, promising a safe and great cinema experience just like when they reopened in July.
Thanks to Movie Fans
Cineworld thanked customers for their support and patience. “Your health and wellbeing remain our top priority,” they said. Fans can look forward to a full slate of films as soon as it’s safe to return.
