For Film Fans Cineworld, world’s second largest cinema chain, is preparing to file for bankruptcy. London-listed, it ran up debt of £4 billion after losses soared during the pandemic lockdown. It has hired lawyers and consultants to advise on the restructuring process.

@Grouse_Beater Maybe if they did the £5 ticket like their competitors do. One of my sons likes going to the cinema but it's always the Vue. People don't have the spare cash now, especially if buying tickets for a whole family.

@twoifbysea71 Good thinking. Prices reached stupid levels. A family outing with food and ice cream could remove £70 to £100 from a pocket.

@Grouse_Beater @twoifbysea71 I've had an unlimited card for years and if I go alone it is fine, but if I'm going with someone, even my grandson, it's cheaper to buy two tickets at Vue!

@grendel1970 @twoifbysea71 Never bought discount cards, Jim - but by Covid I was beginning to attend alone to keep costs down.
