Tim Richards says delay of new Bond film pulled the rug out from under many cinema chains
The boss of the UK’s third largest cinema chain has a simple solution to the industry’s Covid-19 crisis. “We will survive, we just need movies,” says Tim Richards, chief executive of Vue.
The postponement last week of the latest
James Bond film release triggered an existential crisis in
British cinema that means by Friday a fifth of cinemas across the
UK will either be closed or operating on weekend-only hours.
