The CEO of Cineworld
Mooky Greidinger
was Live on SkyNewsHD.

Sadly he is closing all Cinema's this Thursday.

He just said they do not have new films
only Tenent was the one film that did well.
It would be like a Grocery store with no food.

Debts with more than 4Billion dollars.


He hopes to return in around 2 months.

Well, that is the issue really, a doubly-whammy really... there's social distancing and public confidence because of Covid which would have numbers down significantly anyway... but there's also the secondary problem of simply having nothing to show even if they could get viewers in.

You know, if they made these things a "home event" they could probably get a pretty decent box office comparable to a cinema premier. A set date and time that it screens, you buy a "ticket" to stream at home (you could even link it up with something like Sky PPV for the ludites) and everyone watches "together" all across the country. Huge social media buzz, huge social experience... would make it extremely attractive to a lot more people and people are far more willing to shell out to be part of an event than to stream "on their own time".

These ****ers should hire me honestly.

Cineworld run all the Great 4DX Cinemas.
I hope they come back, next year, early.

A great way to watch films tbh, it's the only reason I go rather than wait for the blu ray like i normally did.
