CINEWORLD hopes to start showing films in all its cinemas in July, as Britain slowly comes out of lockdown.

Bosses said that its cinemas up and down the country would open when restrictions are lifted.

Warrington's cinema in Time Square, which first opened in December, has been shut since March.

"Cineworld currently anticipates that Government restrictions related to cinemas will be lifted in each of its territories by July. Subject to this and confirmation of the schedule for film releases, Cineworld anticipates the reopening of all of its cinemas in July," the cinema giant said in a statement to investors on Thursday.

"Cineworld has put in place procedures to ensure a safe and enjoyable cinema experience for its employees and customers."

It promised to be "the best place to watch a movie" even as social distancing measures are likely to hugely change the experience of going to the cinema.
