Cineworld made a $3bn (£2.2bn) loss for last year, revealing the scale of the financial toll that months of cinema closures has brought to the world’s second largest cinema chain.
“I never imagined a time that we would see the closure of our entire cinema estate,” said Mooky Greidinger, chief executive of Cineworld.
Certain films will premiere in UK cinemas exclusively for 45 days if they sell an agreed number of tickets.
Cineworld, which operates 660 movie theatres including the Odeon chain in the UK, said all of its sites have mostly remained closed since mid-March last year.
