25 London Cineworld and Picturehouse cinemas are currently at risk of closure after the Cineworld chain fell into administration last autumn.  Cineworld recently announced it has a number of potential buyers, but none are willing to pay for the whole business, which is currently £5billion in debt.

Should the cinema chain fail to find a buyer, 129 cinemas across the UK and Ireland could close in another devastating blow to town and city centres. Cineworld also employs around 28,000 workers globally.

Cineworld operates 103 cinemas under the Cineworld brand across the UK and the Republic of Ireland and a further 26 under Picturehouse brand.

The brand has said it hopes to recover from bankruptcy protection before the middle of 2023 and is still fully operational. However, its future remains uncertain while proposals are reviewed.

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."
