Cineworld has said it will shut another six of its cinemas following a major restructuring process. The cinema chain revealed the fresh closure plans after formally completing a restructuring plan it launched in the summer to shore up its finances.
It closed five sites after announcing the overhaul in July. It has now said it will also close six more locations; Castleford, Leigh, Middlesbrough, Northampton, Poole and Weymouth. The leisure firm has not disclosed how many jobs will be impacted by the closures.
Javier Sotomayor, president of Cineworld International, said: “The successful completion of our restructuring plan, achieved with the crucial support of our landlords, protects thousands of jobs across the UK and provides us with the financial stability to continue investing in delivering extraordinary experiences for our valued customers.
“This milestone sets the stage for a brighter future, enabling Cineworld to continue sharing joy in communities across the UK for many years to come.”
