Shares of Cineworld PLC (LON: CINE) have received a major boost this week after its Regal cinema chain said it will open 11 locations in New York state starting from tomorrow.
This move comes just about two weeks after Cineworld decide to shut more than 500 Regal Cinemas in the U.S. Cineworld’s CEO Mooky Greidinger explained the decision to shut its cinemas by saying that the business is losing less money when cinemas are shut.
Cineworld’s decision to reopen 11 of its sites come three days after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced they could start to reopen on Oct. 23. Regal, the second-largest movie theater chain, said that other U.S. markets will remain closed. Only seven cinemas in California remain open.
