The chain said that the suspension of its activities begins on Thursday and includes 536 cinemas in the United States and 127 in Great Britain, affecting about 45,000 employees.
The group explained that the closure is due to the fact that the US markets remain closed, especially in New York, and also because the production companies prefer to postpone the premiere of their films.
Among the most prominent works is the new James Bond film “No Time to Die” (“No Time to Die”), whose release in the aisles has been postponed until April 2, 2021.
The film was originally scheduled to open in London on March 31, but was first postponed to November 12 in London and would begin screening in the United States on November 25.
The chain’s general manager, Muki Gradinger, indicated that the group will announce “in due course any decision to resume work in these markets,” when the production companies decide to launch their films.
In turn, British newspapers revealed that “Sineworld” even addressed books to both British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Culture Minister Oliver Dowden, warning them that “the sector is not viable” under these circumstances.
On the other hand, the opposition Labor Party criticized the government for not giving more support to the film industry.
The closure decision constitutes a new fatal blow for “Sineworld”, which was already experiencing financial difficulties due to the unemployment of its rooms for months due to the pandemic, and the continued weakness of participation after returning to work.
