Cinemas at risk of closure as Cineworld issues administration update. A branch on our doorstep is among those facing closure.

Alison Jane Donovan:

So sad. All this live streaming and firesticks killed it off. Yet love the cinema experience but ends up being an expensive night out with overpriced refreshments.

Meleesa Marie:

Kids films are still only £2.50 weekends and holidays, we go all the time and its’ always empty which is a shame because it's all newly refurbished.

Politikally Cartooned:

It's an expensive night out, especially if you have a family of four or more.

Victoria Stobbart:

I took my six year old nephew and it was £10.49.

Steven Thirlwell:

Always love the cinema experience but went to Dalton Park to see Ant Man the other day and there was only about 10 people in, I don’t know how they can make a profit, it’s so sAndy Prattad.

Jackie Brannigan:

Why do people need to eat food in cinema? Sweets perhaps but not the rest.

Alison Williamson: If they reduced their admission prices they would attract more people then no need to close. Cineworld admission prices are extortionate.

Christina Burn: Just like average people the cost of living in business is the same it's so hard to keep prices down these days.

Sharon Simpson: Prices of popcorn, hot dogs, sweets, etc are too much.

Derek Burdon:

Can’t really blame it, streaming’s killing the cinema business, sit in your house or drive five miles to the cinema!!

David John Young: It's far too expensive to take a family to the cinema, not just for the film but drinks, and they make so much profit on popcorn it’s mad.

Andy Pratt: We normally go to Empire as the ticket prices are cheaper and we take our own drinks and popcorn in, still a great movie experience.

Jackie Scott:

Unfortunately cinema is another tradition that is dying.
