Restrictions push back cinema reopening

Friday 21 August 2020

Cineworld will no longer be able to open as planned next week due to government restrictions.

The cinema offered its "sincere apologies" as it announced the news in a Facebook post this afternoon.

"Unfortunately, due to new government restrictions which have been introduced in Jersey, Cineworld will no longer be able to re-open there on August 26th as planned - as it is not viable for us to operate.

"We apologise for the inconvenience but look forward to re-opening the cinema for our valued customers when restrictions are eased," a spokesperson said.

They added: "All customers who have pre-booked tickets for screenings will receive a full refund automatically.

"Unlimited members you will not be charged for your Unlimited membership until Cineworld Jersey re-opens, at which point we will first credit you for any payments made during our closure period, and then you will be charged your new reduced monthly fee of £16.10. Annual members will have their expiry date extended so please ignore the original date. Your free 2D adult Cineworld ticket will still be valid."
