    London, UK: Cineworld, the world’s second-largest cinema chain, has announced its plans to file for administration in order to address its significant debts. Despite this move, Cineworld reassures customers that its screens will remain open and its operations will continue without interruption. The company, which owns the Picturehouse chain in the UK, has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with forced closures of many of its theatres.

    Cineworld aims to reduce its $5 billion debt pile through the administration process. It currently operates 751 sites globally, including 128 locations in the UK and Ireland, employing over 28,000 staff. Notable films currently being screened in the UK include “Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse” and “The Little Mermaid.”

    The company’s entry into administration is expected to take place in July 2023, resulting in the suspension of shares and the elimination of existing shareholders. Cineworld previously filed for bankruptcy protection in the US last year and hopes to emerge from the process next month after restructuring its finances. As cinemas face tough competition from streaming services, the company’s financial struggles have been further exacerbated.

    Despite the challenges, Cineworld remains determined to continue operating globally and welcomes customers to its cinemas. However, industry experts predict that the company will emerge from restructuring as a significantly scaled-down player in the movie world. The closure of Regal movie theatres in the US earlier this year suggests that Cineworld’s UK cinemas may also face restructuring in the future.
