UK's Cineworld Group PLC <CINE.L> also pushed
its U.S. reopening date to mid-August, although the company
remains on track to welcome back movie-goers in Britain at the
end of this month.
Movie theaters across the world were shuttered since the
mid-March when several countries imposed lockdowns and social
distancing measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus
pandemic.
AMC, the world's largest movie theater operator, had earlier

delayed the reopening by two weeks to July 30. Cineworld, which
owns Regal Cinemas in the United States, had also previously
delayed its reopening date to July 31 for both the U.S. and UK.
About one-third of all AMC cinemas in Europe and the Middle East
are already open and are operating normally, AMC said.
Earlier this week, Warner Bros. delayed https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-tenet/tenet-movie-release-delayed-indefinitely-in-new-blow-to-movie-theaters-idUSKCN24L27B
indefinitely the release of "Tenet" which was earlier due out on
Aug. 12.
