A Cineworld cinema
PRESSURE is mounting on the government to support jobs in the entertainment sector after Cineworld confirmed today that it is to temporarily close all its venues by Friday.
The cinema chain will shut 127 Cineworld and Picturehouse theatres in Britain and 536 Regal theatres in the United States, affecting 45,000 jobs — 5,500 of them in Britain.
The decision was blamed on the delay to a number of blockbusters, including the latest James Bond film, which have had their release put back until next year.
