'Peter Rabbit 2' helps Cineworld draw crowds after lockdown in UK
The Peninsula
Cineworld Group Plc said on Monday its UK cinemas pulled in more people than expected after a months-long COVID-19 lockdown, helped by Sony Pictures' animated adventure comedy "Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway".
The world's second-largest cinema chain also said more than 97% of its U.S. cinemas had resumed operations, while most of its screens in the rest of the world were expected to reopen by the end of the month. The strong reopening is an encouraging sign for the London-listed company, which in March sunk to its first-ever loss as the COVID-19 crisis prompted strict restrictions and disrupted movie releases.More Related News
