Cineworld to Close All U.K. Cinemas Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

Cineworld and Picturehouse are shuttering all cinemas across the U.K. from Wednesday.

Cinemas in Ireland will be closed from Tuesday.

Cineworld Group CEO Mooky Greidinger said: “At Cineworld and Picturehouse, we are committed to providing safe and healthy environments for our employees and guests and have therefore made the difficult decision to close our cinemas in UK and Ireland until further notice.

“We deeply value our cinema-loving customers and have no doubt we will be serving everyone again as soon as possible with a full slate of Hollywood blockbusters and the best of independent films and content.”

More to come.
