Cineworld has warned audience numbers have been weaker than expected and predicted they will stay low until November due to “limited” film releases.
The world’s second-largest cinema business said it is now assessing options to shore up its finances as a result.
The group, which also owns the Picturehouse chain in the UK and Regal Cinemas in the US, had pinned its hopes on releases such as Top Gun: Maverick , The Batman, and Thor : Love And Thunder to aid its recovery from the heavy impact of the pandemic.
