This is a bit of a disaster, I won't shed any tears for the massive multiplexes or the people behind Cineworld, but their local Picturehouse cinemas are wonderful, often local hubs and employ many dedicated and lovely people. In and around London, I will personally miss Bromley Picturehouse, The Ritzy in Brixton and The Gate in Notting Hill. Cineworld Feltham for a time was the busiest cinema in the entire country, seemingly due to its schedule of Bollywood movies. A lot of customers and employees being hammered here.

If Odeon or anyone can muster up the cash, which they probably can't, picking up the Picturehouse chain would be seriously marvellous.

Looks like the reports weren't confirmed: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/oct/04/cineworld-t...

Now it says "considering" and "temporarily".

Hmm

I had no idea Cineworld bought them. I loved the Picturehouses.
