Odeon has confirmed that the chain will be dialing back to a weekend-only (Friday-Sunday) opening schedule for approximately one-quarter of its UK cinemas. The news was communicated to members of Limitless, Odeon’s subscription service, over the weekend.
Odeon, which is owned by AMC Theaters, the world’s largest cinema chain with more than 1,000 outlets, blamed the lack of almost any new films.
“We look forward to reopening full-time when the big blockbusters return,” the company said in an email to customers. “But in the meantime, we promise to bring you a great choice of big-screen films to enjoy at the weekends.”
We’ve had confirmation that the Hereford cinema will remain open throughout the week, but with reduced hours.
