Is Cineworld closing down? Cinema chain with branch at The Cornerhouse at risk of closure - full update

Cineworld in Nottingham’s The Cornerhouse is at risk of closure after the chain fell into administration last autumn.

Cineworld are currently looking for a buyer to take over the entire business - which is currently in £5 billion debt.

In a recent update, Cineworld said a number of buyers are interested in acquiring the company, however the future of “such transactions remain uncertain”.

Cineworld operates 103 cinemas under the Cineworld brand and a further 26 under the Picturehouse brand.

If the cinema chain remains unsold then 129 cinemas across the UK and Ireland will close, handing a severe blow to the industry.

Cineworld - which employs around 28,000 workers globally - is still fully operational but has stated it needs to recover from bankruptcy protection soon.

A spokesperson for Cineworld said: "The company has now received non-binding proposals from a number of potential transaction counterparties for some or all of the group’s business.

"The company is reviewing such proposals in conjunction with its advisers and key stakeholders and, whilst no decision has been made as to whether to pursue a sale transaction, and the terms of any such transaction remain uncertain, based on the proposals received to date, it is not expected that any sale transaction will provide any recovery for the holders of the company’s equity interests."

Which Nottingham Cineworld cinemas are at risk of closure?

Nottingham is home to just one Cineworld branch. The cinema at The Cornerhouse shopping centre in the city is at risk of closure if the company does not recover from bankruptcy protection.

Nearby, the Cineworld in Loughborough is also at risk of closure.

Why did Cineworld fall into administration?

Cineworld group - which also owns Picturehouse as well as more international cinema companies - has suggested that its problems can be attributed to poor post-pandemic recovery and the limited number of blockbusters that are being shown in its cinemas across the country.
